compare living in a city and a village

I like to live in a big city; on the other hand I think living in a small village is more comfortable.  Nowadays most people want to live in a big city, because they feel that life there is more successful. The village life is wonderful, but city life has its good point also. Now I am going to compare and contrast living in a big city and living in a small village.
There are many similarities between a small village and a big city.  The first similarity is that village and city having people and houses. Second thing is that a big city and a small village have school for teaching their children. Third, in a small village and a big city you find roads, schools, hospitals, shops and garages.
Although, there are many similarities the first several differences between a small village and a big city. Fist difference is that a city has more buildings whereas the village has small ones. The second is that the city is bigger than the village. The third is that the city has an airport but there is no airport in the village. Another thing is the city is so noisy and crowded; on the other hand a village is quiet and empty. Next, people in the city seem less friendly but in the village people are friendlier. Also in the city there are many shops, malls, hospitals and universities. In addition, the city has many facilities such as public libraries, parks, clubs, and restaurants. Living in a village is boring compared to life in a big city.
  All in all, living in the city is better nowadays. A city has many advantages over a village because the city is modern life facilities are easily available. Also you can get good education for your children.

UAE in the Past & Present


UAE in the past & present
The United Arab Emirates is the most developed country in the Gulf in all areas. Now I’m going to compare and contrast life in the UAE in the past and in the present.
There are many similarities. The first similarity is that the weather is still the same, hot with humidity in the summer and moderate in winter. The second similarity is that people are still using the same language which is Arabic. Also they use the same currency which is the dirham.
However, there are several differences from thirty years ago. Firstly, in the past people only studied the Holy Quran and some math. Also they had only one teacher. Whereas, in the education nowadays the students have a big school with many classes and many activities rooms .Also, they study many subjects such as, Arabic, History, Math and English. Secondly, in the past the people didn’t have transport to travel. But today in the UAE they have roads to use and travel by cars, planes and trains.
In conclusion, there are many similarities and differences between the past and the present. In my opinion, the present is much better than the past. I hope my country will keep developing.
