Around the college
We are all students at Abu Dhabi Men's College.
We have to be in the classroom on time.
Physics and chemistry lessons take place in a laboratory.
There are no healthy food outlets in our canteen/cafeteria.
I read books and magazines and also do IELTS practice in our college library, which is large and well-stocked.
Student services organise activities for us.
The academic office performs many administrative tasks, such as issuing ID cards and arranging exam schedules.
There is a special learning centre in our library, called the Active Learning Zone, to provide students with extra help with their English.
Conferences and large meetings are often held in the college auditorium, which is also where we do our progress tests.

Different Models Of Cars
This table shows the specification of four popular medium – sized saloon cars. In this essay I will analyze this information.
The Toyota Corolla and the Nissan Micra are both produced in Japan. Although they cost similar, they are different in engine size. The Nissan Micra does 52 miles per gallon consumption, while the Toyota Corolla does 48 miles per gallon fuel consumption. The Ford Focus is made in America; on the other hand the Volkswagen Golf is made in Germany. The Volkswagen Golf costs more money than the Ford Focus.
The table shows the similarities and differences between these cars. It shows that the Volkswagen Golf has the biggest engine size and the Nissan Micra has the smallest engine size.

Top Date Producing Countries
This chart shows the top ten date – producing countries and their annual production in tonnes in 2002.
The biggest producer of dates is the country of Egypt with nearly 1,100,000 tonnes yearly. In second place is Iran with nearly 900,000 tonnes of dates yearly; however it has less than Egypt. The combined production of Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E is about 2,800,000 tonnes but in the Gulf region the U.A.E tops all the countries with an average of 700,000 tonnes of dates annually with Saudi Arabia not far behind. Algeria’s production is about one half of the U.A.E’s output. Libya and Sudan each accounted for less than 200,000 tonnes. Oman’s production of dates is about 20% of Egypt’s figure which is about 250,000 tonnes annually.
In summary, there are 6 countries which produce more than half a million tonnes and the leading country is Egypt.

The UK Government Budget
The UK government budget in 1996 was £315 billion. This pie chart shows what the government spent the money on, divided into ten categories.
The government spent most, by far, on social security, £100 billion. This was almost twice as much as the next category, health, which cost £53 billion. Also, the most striking feature of the chart is that social security and health expenditure combined account for almost a half of the UK budget in 1996. Approximately £30 billion goes to law and order with housing, heritage and environment together. At the bottom end was transportation with less than £ 10 billion.
In summary, the chart shows obviously that more than a quarter of the budget in 1996 went on social security while the transportation is last.The UK government cares about into citizens by allocating £138 billion for them.
