Portfolio Task 4

There are two different methods that parents use to teach their children, such as competition and cooperation. Some families think competition is important for their children success and they need to compete their rivals to win and reach their goals. Other parents think cooperation is the useful way for their children to reach their goals and to thrive. Competition and cooperation are important skills that all children need in their life.

Teaching children how to compete is an important aspect that they need which pushes them to do well. It also lets them be more creative and to draw their unique way of thinking. Teaching children to compete prepares them for the world. In the competition, children will learn how to accept to lose and to learn from their mistakes. To be competitive children will try their best to be excellent in different ways. It also, teaches them how to be perfect in all their work.

Children who learn to be cooperative with their colleagues tend to be successful in teamwork. They learn how to overcome their weakness. They learn how to handle any problems they face with their peers. As is known people in the work need to have the cooperation skills to finish their job and they need other people idea to end up with great jobs. Therefore, it is important to teach children to cooperate with their peers.

To sum up, competition and cooperation are important skills that a family needs to teach to their children. Parents need to encourage their children to be competitive in some special situation and to cooperate with their peer in teamwork. I think if parents need their children to be different and achieve success they have to teach them the importance of both competition and cooperation. Moreover, they need to define the difference between these two skills.

Portfolio Task 3

A balanced diet is the way to have a healthy life and to reduce the obesity in many countries. Many people in the UAE suffer from obesity and the percentage is increasing every year. The main reason is the bad food diet and another reason is people do not do exercise and their typical daily jobs are in front of the computers, leading them to have an unhealthy life. Balanced diet and other important factors can contribute to a healthy life style.

A balanced diet means to have healthy food not just one meal but the regular meal that maintain proteins, fats, vitamins and carbohydrates.  It also means to eat fresh or organic food that dose not include hormones. However, if people mix all these types of food without control it might lead people to have unhealthy diet so, people need to eat the right amount of food to have a good balance diet. In addition, they need to eat their three meals on the right time and to have healthy appetizer such as fruit, vegetable, nuts and fresh juice.

A balance diet with other important life style will reduce the obesity and lead you to reach the healthy life that most people look for. With eating balance food people need to do exercise and to avoid the unhealthy lifestyle habits. There are different types of exercise people can do such as walking, joining a gym and playing some sports such as swimming, playing football, and any types of physical sport.

To conclude, it is not hard to have a healthy balanced diet, which is the key factor to have a healthy life.  People need to choose food from different group and to eat the three regular meals a day. Moreover, doing exercise with eating balance healthy foods leads to a healthy life style and reduce the percentage of obese people in the world.

Mobile Phone

Many people these days die in car accidents because of using a phone while driving and that is considered dangerous and might affect people is life negatively. It is a big issue because nowaday’s people are not just talking on phones while driving. With the advance of technology people are texting each other while driving which makes the issue worse. Many governments pass laws to regulate the use of phones while driving. Banning using phones while driving is a positive way to save many peoples life but it should have some exception.

Passing laws to eliminate using phone while driving will increase the awareness between people to stop using phones. People will be more aware about the impact of using mobiles for their safety and other road users safety. This step will reduce the number of accidents because of the common sense of responsibility between people. If the government passes some fine if, the driver is caught while they are using phones it will be another positive point to reduce the amount of illegal use of phone while driving.

The government should have police ban the negative using of phone while driving but they should have some exception of using the phone while driving. If the people who drive use the headphone or Bluetooth headset, it will not disturb them from driving so they will be with the legal side of using phone while driving.

Overall, using mobile phones while driving should be banned with allowing some exception of using the phones while driving. Illegal using phones while driving impact many peoples life and it is a big issue that governments face these days.

There are two graphs whice show the main reasons between study according to the age of students and employer support, by age group, in the UK.

The first graph show there is a gradual decrease in study for career. Under 26 age group is 80% for career; also there are only 10% of under 26  year olds studying out of interest. The percentage for interest grows dramatically in late adulthood. Nearly the same number of 40-49 years old study for career as for interest. The over 49 years old get 70% for interest., but 18% are studying for career reasons in that age group.

The second graph shows that employer support is maximum 60% for the under 26 years old. The percentage for the other ages drops rapidly between 26-39 years old and then increases 40-49 age group to 43%.

In conclusion, the number of students who study for career decreases with age. However when the people get older they study for interest.
