Final reflection

Omar started the presentation by introducing himself and he gave brief information about water shortage in India and explained the meaning of the water shortage.

Then he said that there are many causes of the shortage problem in India and there are two types, natural causes and human made. He mentioned that global warming is a natural cause and Mr. Hedley disagreed with that. “Careless consumers, industrial waste and bad management is human made” Omar said. 

He talked about the consequences of water shortage which are famine and he showed some pictures of the consequences. 

After that he talked about the solutions to reduce the shortage water which are purification by using some purification machines and reusing water. In the last slide he showed the steps of the recycling process of water. Finally Abdulla Ahmed asked Omar the presenter a question about natural causes.

I learned from Omar’s presentation that human are careless in using water and we must be careful in using it.  

He made a good presentation and his vocabulary was perfect but it seemed that he didn’t prepare for the presentation.

Causes of Air pollution:

d- Melting the North Pole: which means that the sea level gets higher every year, which could damage some peninsulas and coastal cities.

e- Lung diseases and breathing problems due to increase in CO2 gas.

Agenda:

- Convince people to use hybrid vehicles.

- Using buses instead of cars for people who live in the city.

- Underground metro.

- Issuance of rules that limit the industries.

- Recycling & re-use of newspapers and plastic bags.

 

1. Convince people to use hybrid vehicles.

Abdulla Jaber said it is a good idea to reduce the pollution in the air but there is a problem which is hybrid cars are expensive and the spare parts of these vehicles are not available.

Abdulla Hussain said it is a good idea.

2. Using buses instead of cars for people who live in the city.

Mohammed Abdulla said using the buses is a very good idea to reduce the CO2 in the air by reducing using cars.

Abdulziz said it is a good idea but the problem is that buses are not comfortable.

Abdulla Jabber and Abdulla Hussein agreed with Mohammed Abdulla.

3. Underground metro.

Abdulla Hussein said it is not a good idea because a metro still issued smoke, was expensive and it requires years to be built.

Abdulla Jaber said it was to solve and reduce the traffic not air pollution.

4. Issuance of rules that limit the industries.

Abdulla Jabber said that factories must obey the rules because factories are the biggest source of toxics gases.

Mohammed Abdulla mentioned that acid rain comes from toxics gases and industrial waste.

Abdulla Hussein agreed with what they said.

5. Recycling and re-use of newspaper and plastic bags.

Abdulla Husain said recycling is a good method because instead of burning materials that cause damage to the environment we recycle them and use them again; also Abdulla Jabber agreed with that.

All the members of the group agreed that some of these solutions are successful to reduce the pollution in the air:

1- Recycling used materials.

2- Using buses instead of cars for people who live in the city.

3- Making strict rules to limit the pollution of the chemical waste that results from the factories.

Also, spread the awareness in the society by advertisements and telling them the effects of air pollution.

Reflection No.4

Interviewee: Abdulla Hussian

The interview was in Higher College of Technology in a room called Independent Research Centre at 8:00 in the morning. The interviews were Mr. Hedley, Yousif and Abdulla Ahmed. He studied Civil Engineering in Higher College of Technology and he is looking for a sponsor to continue to get Master Degree. In the first part of the interview Abdulla hussain introduced him to the interviewers and shared them some information about him like place of birth, the college that he studied in and qualifications. Abdulla was little bit confused and he didn’t answered the interviewers question in correct way, it seems that he didn’t prepared well for the interview. The questions that Abdulla asked are what the job title?, and another question to know more about the company.
