Cities growth from 1950 to 2015

This bar graph shows the growth of population in different cities in the world from 1950-2015.
The three highest cities in population in 2015 are predicted to be Tokyo, Bombay and Lagos. They are above 20 millions. The lowest cities in the same year are New York, Cairo and London. In 1950 London’s population was 8 million and it will fall in 2015 to 7 million. Cairo in 1950 was below 5 million but in 2015 will increase to about 13million.New York was a steady rise in 1970, 2000, 2015.Shanghi has growth of 10 million from 1950-2015.Between 1950 and 2015 Mexico City increase from less than 5 million to 18 million. The smallest cities in population in 1950 were Lagos, Bombay, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, Cairo and Shanghai; they were below 4 million. The city of Tokyo will have the same population from 2000 to 2015.
All in all, I think the city of Lagos has increased more than 22 times; that means the largest increase in population.

Traffic in Abu Dhabi

Nowadays, traffic is the main problem for a lot of countries. The city of Abu Dhabi suffers from traffic congestion. I am going to write some causes and solutions for traffic congestion in Abu Dhabi.
Traffic in Abu Dhabi now is the main problem so the main reason for this problem is the growing population, because of men marrying more than one woman, and the number of cars per household. This means that traffic will increase more in the future if they don’t solve it. The next cause is drivers don’t follow the rules of driving; also they cause accidents and block the roads and streets. Another cause is lack of parking and that affects the traffic. An additional problem is construction projects and commercial concerns that are located on the Island of Abu Dhabi.
One solution is to improve the existing system or start to build skyline for now and the future. Another solution is education for drivers on the TV or by newspaper, so they can be aware of the rules, and stiffer tests to pass the driving test. The next solution is to stagger hours of colleges, schools and works. The last solution is to limit the number of cars per household and to relocate living areas out of Abu Dhabi so the people can came to work and college only.
All in all, I think the most viable is to relocate people. It will solve traffic problems and also a lot of other problems. I think the least viable is staggered hours because all people want to finish early.

Overweight in UAE

Nowadays people like fast food a lot and don’t check their health. They have everything they need from food, sport etc.
The UAE people have a problem with being overweight. The main reason for this problem is fast food. This means that food is mainly fat and it will increase the weight fast. The next problem is that people don’t do exercise at all. An additional problem is eating more than they need so they feel relaxed and don’t do any job. With the increased number of restaurants in the UAE,such as McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC and Dunkin’ Donuts, there is more chance to eat unhealthy food.
One solution is to have your meals at home or research for health food restaurants so that means that you reduce the fast food. The second solution is doing some exercise or choosing any sport that you like so it can help to reduce weight. Another solution is that you can eat what you need not overload,so that means the body can absorb what it needs from food. The next solution is to increase the number of health food restaurants or increase the price of the fast food meals so people can avoid the fast food. The final solution is that people must read a lot about avoiding fat and sugar to keep the health good and safe.
All in all, I think the best way to avoid being overweight is to do exercise at a gym or have a walk every day for one hour. Also you must control your food for the whole day so your weight will be at least the same.
