Summary of "An Inconvenient Truth"
Al Gore, the host was the vice-president of the United States in Clinton Administration . He has been interested in climate issues since grade school and has continued to take an interest in this subject as a politician. In the documentary he highlights some very important points regarding global warming in his discussion. We will take a look of some these highlights.





Some very important effects include illustrations of the impact of global warming. He does this by first pointing out the relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and corresponding temperature over a 650,000 years period. For example the amount of carbon before 20 years is less than the amount of carbon in 2006 and the last statistics show that the temperature now is hotter than before. Another significant result we can see due to climate change is regard to natural disasters. To clarify, when the iceberg is melting in Antarctica because the rise of temperature and another factors it can cause the increase of sea level and the amount of water will evaporate more and it can cause more powerfully Hurricanes and strong storms. Another point to consider is with Diseases. To illustrate, Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level. Another result to consider is with the Animal migration. To clarify, At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.




To sum up, Al Gore says that although the situation regarding global warming appears dire, he does speak passionately looking forward to the future with hope. His presentation concludes with parting nuggets of practical advice as to how man can play role in curbing climate change.

Hi there my name is Salem Abdulla and I have a lot of things to tell you about myself.First thing, let me introduce you to myself.

As I said my name is Salem. I live in Al-Ain. I am 24 years old. I studied in Al-ain Men’s college last year in the HD Foundation program. I work at the same time and I don’t have sponsor. It is really tiring especially when you are study and work at the same time, but what else I can do?, At this moment I have transferred to study in ADMC because the major that I wanted to study is not available in Al-Ain.Now let me tell you about the things that I love a lot. I prefer to live in a rural area because I like the simple life. That’s why I am living in Al-ain. It’s a quite place and there are a lot of natural places. I also like to walk a long distance every week. I usually walk from five to eight hours on a week. I also like to write poems. One thing I forgot to mention, I really love cars, especially the mechanical stuff. Another point that I want to add is that my favorite colors are black and white.Now let me talk about other things. I live in a big villa there are twelve rooms and seven bathrooms. I have a quite big family with five brothers and three sisters. I am in the middle between my brothers. My father is a business man. He used to work for the government sector but now he is retired. Sometimes we set together and talk with each other. He really is a good guy. I am really proud to be his son. In addition, my father has a farm and it really near my home. At holidays we go together and spend it on the farm.I have a lot of future plans. Let me tell you about it. First of all, I want to finish my studies with a good grade and I really hope from deep inside of my heart that I graduate from ADMC. Of course after a long period of studying, I would like to take a long vacation so that I can spend more time with my family and my friends. After that I want to buy a house and get married so I can live there. I also want to buy a new car because mine is so old. Finally I would like to visit places that I never been.Everyone has good time. Like others I have been to many places and countries. I love to travel a lot because I want to see different places and cultural. I went to Oman and visited many tourist places. In Muscat there are a lot of mountains and I love to see the sunset and sunrise over there. That’s why I love nature. I went also to see old forts and historic places. I just want to know how the people lived in the past. It really hard, don’t you think? There are also other countries that I visited such as Bahrain, Ksa, Syria and Kuwait. I think Bahrain is a good country even it is small because the people there were very nice and kindly. I hope that I can visit these countries again.Now I will talk about what I do in my free time. Sometimes I watch T.V because I am interested in breaking news. However, I don’t have enough time to see the T.V nowadays. I also like to set with my friends on the sand around my house and talk about a lot of things. In Ramadan we play volleyball at the weekend. I also go to my father’s farm when I have got nothing to do.


In conclusion, I hope that you really enjoyed reading this article and I am looking forward to do my best in my life.
