Reflection about the Horsemen Police in the UAE Summary

Mr. Hedley’s guidance was effective in terms of finding our way through the piece given to us. As we were told, we went through the title, the introduction and the conclusion to help us in summarizing the paper. 

It was a quite easy task to do. It talked about how the horsemen police do their patrols in the desert of Liwa; as well what kind challenges they face while roaming around, and what kind of violations they deal with. Moreover, we learnt about the procedures that horsemen police follow  in order not to exhaust the horses.  

In the end, my opinion about the piece is that vocabulary was an easy one since it was our first task to do.

About this summary, the vocabulary started to be a bit difficult; I learnt the meaning of some new words using the online dictionary that was recommended by Mr. Hedley.

Reflection about Pearl Diving In the UAE

In this summary, the difficulty of the vocabulary was an issue for me; I was struggling most of the time while summarizing this paper. However, I found my way through it since it was a short piece.

It basically talks about pearl diving in the UAE during the 1950s; and how Emiratis relied on it as a profitable business, till it started to fade away due to the appearance of the artificial pearl farming.

However, Emiratis embraced the idea of reviving the tradition of the UAE by starting a touring educational eco tour for tourists, which attracted the interest of Journalists.

Summary about Pearl Diving In the UAE

The Arabian Gulf was one of the biggest economies in the world. The number of pearl diving boats reached to more than 1000 boat; but after the 1950s pearl diving started to peter out due to the low income of pearls trading.

The Marine Environmental Group and Jumairah Group joined each other and created a touring educational eco for tourists, which hosts 20 guests to live the experience of pearl diving.

Journalists from the Gulf News were invited to the demo launching of the dhow tour, and they learnt how to search for pearls; as well they have been informed that none of the pearl divers got rich, the dhow trips were their main pleasure.

Pearl trading vanished when pearl farmers started their business, which made expensive pearls affordable and available for buyers.

Emirati divers use to spend weeks searching the sea for the pink pearl which was one of the most expensive pearls of all.

During the dhow tour, traditional clothes, fish and rice are being offered to live the authentic experience of the past.

There is a small percentage of children who are tied to child safety – car seats which made officials believe that using car seats made a marked change on the traffic injury and health rate in Dubai. The design of child safety – seats is only for infants and toddlers; and booster seats are for children above the age of four. There are car seats which are made to suit different stages of growth, weight and age; this should be born in mind when choosing the suitable child – car seat.
