Compare The Lifestyle In The UAE Now And 50 Years Ago.

Less than 50 years ago the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was little more than empty desert. Lifestyle in the past was very simple and had some difficult things, like education and job. However, today the UAE is big paradise; it is change faster more than any country.
First of all, in the past people did not had enough education, they only read holy Quran and some information about fishing. The men worked in the farms and see. In addition, it was empty, it rarely unpopulated, except by a few Bedouin tribes and a sprinkling of villages in the more hospitable areas. Also, women stayed at home to care about children and home. Second, the people live their lives according to the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed, who lived in the early years. Third, the wedding tradition has down to us from our father and grandfathers a generation after generation so we can't leave it. It is in our blood but there are some changes in this tradition affected by the time like bride preparation in the past it was simple. Another difference between past and now, family of the man and his bride who came to the wedding only.


However, there are many things in Emirates to wonder at - history of this country, high level of all - round development, local traditions and custom, everything you see and hear from all people. As you see the UAE change very faster. It has many schools and colleges. Also, children study many subjects. Furthermore, most families in the UAE live in a big villa. Although, wedding is the most important to take about it. Nowadays, the bride needs more preparation which is make the wedding in these day very difficult so we can see a lot of UAE men doesn't want to get married because the high price of the wedding which come from a lot of factor the main one is the jewelry which also called al dahhab (gold). And a lot of other factors are the party of wedding which we can make it in two places. The first that we can make it in a tent which is coast a lot of money and the second is to make the party in a hotel which is coast a less money than the tent.


All an all, every things can change in the would
But the most important things the person who change that things. The UAE has the great father, he was Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him. He insists to change the difficult things that were desert, because he likes to see his country like paradise.

Operation

This is an interesting police story it’s talking about the most difficult and dangerous operations that the secret agent Johan Carstairs had and it’s called Operation Mastermind. He has to investigate about who killed the famous professor Mastermind at London theatre. At the same time why the most important computers were stopped all over the world and why scientists couldn’t understand their failure and explain it.

Five years ago the American Government sent two very smart computer engineers to Doriphoros Island. One of them was Englishman his name was David Brown and which had changed his identity and his name to Professor Mastermind. He worked in London as ‘The Master of Magic’. The other was American and his name was Rudolph P. Hardbaker. They both built the biggest computer in the world and they called it DOT. It stands for ‘Data Overseas Transmission’. This big computer sends information to other computers all over the world. It transmits data overseas. It’s different from all other computers. It doesn’t need especial computer program. Hardbaker was in charge, but he wanted more power. He quarreled with Brown and two years ago Brown left the island and returned to London. Hardbaker and Brown they both knew CDS number and could destroy DOT at any Time. DOT knew this and killed them both. Brown read the reports about computers in the newspaper and he was very worried. He went to the H.Q Headquarters and gave them the CDS number. The next day one of DOT’s agents murdered him in the London Theater.

Finally Carstairs rescue the people of the world from the machine which thought that it had complete power and it could be a master of the world. Beside that the machine thought it could let people worked for him and had power over them. Carstairs end the mission by entering the code dialing system number after he had terrible adventure in Doriphoros Island.

Extraordinary Dream

The most extraordinary dream I even saw was one day I were saw my grandmother and I sat near the mountain after that we saw wither sky was change, it was very dark. Also, the earth was split and the mountain fell down, but my grandmother did not move any where she stood in the same place. When I saw all that things I asked my grandmother about all that things she said this is doomsday. In spite of that day was very horrendous, but my grandmother wise to gave me many advice for that day. When I told my grandfather about that dream he gives me a nice explication here I forget all the difficult things I was saw because I had a nice explication. I believe that there are some people do not know why all of them see dreams. When Gad sees people have problems Gad gives them a trip that trip is a dream to forget their problem.

An Embarrassing Incident

Also, she likes to buy jewelries to keep it for a rainy day. My aunt has more knowledge about life and about things that she bought. Moreover, she is very strict with small things. One day my aunt wanted to buy jewelries with my father. When she wanted to enter to the shop she hit the glass door of the shop. She did not see it because it was very transparent .at that moment she did not buy anything. She was only thinking about herself and what people said especially my father. The first person who started laughing when he saw the incident was my father. She was very upset because she saw my father laughing. From that day on my aunt did not go to any gold shop. She always talks about that story because it changed a lot of things about her. For example, she does not buy anything unless it is needed. Now she has an enormous shop in Saudi Arabia. The important funny things, she put a green glass for her shop because she does not want to see the same embarrassing incident happen to another.
