ENG 264/CLX

                   In these days many people use a mobile phone to be connected with each other but some people don’t know how to use it safely. Some of them are using the phone while they are driving. In this essay I will write whether I agree or disagree with this subject.

                   There are two sides to any argument. I agree to have a mobile phone with you in the car because it is important. For example if you have an accident you should call the police. Another example is that if you are in the desert here in UAE and your car broken you should use your phone because your life could depend on it. A further argument is that if you get lost on the road you can call some body to lead you to your destination.

                    Having said all this, there is no reason why you should use your phone while actually driving. I disagree with people who are using mobile phones while they are driving, because they put themselves in danger, they should stop in a car park because it is safer. Another argument is that if they must use the phone while they are driving they should put a speaker in their cars because it is a safer way. Finally they should use a mobile phone only for emergency calls.
                   In conclusion, as you can see, there are two sides any argument and I hope the people use the phones in a positive way and not to use their phones while they are driving.

            These charts below show us the main reasons for study among students of different age groups and the amount of support they received from employers in the UK. In this essay I will describe the information in the bar graphs.

            The first graph shows us that the number of students who are under 26 years old mostly study for career which is 80% and those who study for interest is 10%. For students who are 26-29 years old 70% study for career and 15% for interest. The number of students equaled for the students who are between 40 to 49 years old which is 40%. For the students who are over 49 years old most study for interest which is 70% and some of them for career which is 20%.

            The second graph shows the highest employer support is 65% for the people who are under 26 years old. The amount of employer support has decreased to 50% for the people who are between 26-29 years old. The lowest number was 35% for the people who are between 30 to 39 years old.

            In conclusion people under 26 studied for career most while people over 49 studied for interest the most.
