Youths puts skills ahead of money

Youths puts skills ahead of money

I will write in this mini report about youths&vacancies. The message was they focus on the skills over salaries.  Although the skills are very important the salary is the most important. From young people who attended the Emirati Youth Forum 30% of students said they will take opportunity for growth and promotion to be the most important. The growth and promotion include growth in the job. For example, step by step until where they decide to be so this is related for their planning when they find job.

Nowadays, the fresh graduates prefer working in the government sector because all faculties and promotion available are better than the private sector. ‘’ Employers tell me they can't hire Emiratis because they can't give them the salaries and working hours they demand. Hopefully this will prove them wrong’’, said Sulaf Saleh Al Zu'bi, the chief executive of INJAZ UAE. Recently, the government made planning which called Emiratisation  to increase the number of Emiratis in the private sector held on  Summit in Abu Dhabi to educate and make aware the people about the importance of the private sector and encourage them to join in it . Also, there are many strategies such as Tawdheef Recruitment Show. This showed many Vacancies in both sectors.

 Unfortunately, there is no balance between the public and private sector and this will not motivate the Emirati youth to work in the private sector. Working hours are very long in the private sectors and this is one of the reasons. I hope everybody and all sectors unit to solve this problem.

 

Report About Falconers

 

Report About Falconers

 

I will write in this report about falconers and the target for breeding Asian Houbara which was exceeded. The International Fund for Houbara Conservation (IFHC) bred 13,105 young houbara and this will keep the species alive. Also, they want to keep the wild population. There are two centres outside the UAE where chicks are bred in Morocco and Kazakhstan.

Falcons must be trained to hunt houbara. This sport spread very fast in the GCC. Although, it’s prohibited some people are doing it and some people are overhunting in some places. They are using weapons to hunt. ‘’ We have to educate people and give them advice before they think like this’’ said Mr Al Baidani.

 The best place to see everything about falcons and hunting is the hunting exhibition which is located in Abu Dhabi. In the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition . During this event the IFHC distributed surveys for hunters and falconers to know and measure how many houbara birds will be needed to be bred. The big issue about the black market is nobody knows from where these come houbara or who is selling and buying them. Also this exhibition is a chance for all ages to take knowledge about animals, hunting equipment and lectures. 



New pearl Museum opens in RAK

New pearl Museum opens in RAK

In this summary, I will write about pearls and the pearl museum. In the past the life was hard so the people were working to get something to live. The most dangerous job was diving to try to get pearls. The divers used many tools in their journey such as ‘Al Kabt (  finger gloves), nose clips and white cotton diver suits. Also, they had rubbed oil all over their bodies to protect their bodies form illness, blindness and deafness.’’ Who doesn’t have the past, doesn’t have the future’’ said Sheikh Zayed. Form this idiom we have to keep our job and tradition as before.

There are many types of pearl. For example, Bint Al Matar daughter of the rain. The second type is called Bint Al Qamar which means daughter of moon. Recently the pearl Museume opened in RAK, where you can see the precious pearls in different shapes, sizes and colours. RAK was the capital of pearl trading. In 1930,the pearling industry came down because of the Japanese invention of cultured pearl. This fate did not stop Emirati women using natural pearls and they have many names, such as Dana, Hessa and Moza.

On the second floor, there are the most famous pearls around the world. There is some information showing us how to distinguish natural and cultured pearl. There are small and large, white, beige and black. China and Japan have 95%of the world total production of freshwater pearls.

First reflective statement

First Reflective Statement

 

This course is an academic reading and writing course. It will help us to improve our skills in reading and writing. Also it includes a final project and profile. About the final project, it will consist of an essay 700-800 words on a topic we will choose with the teacher. In portfolios, it should be all practice summaries and handouts.

The first week, I made a blog for myself and I posted one writing about the Hajj. I learnt how I can summarize many long paragraphs to a short passage. This is what I did in the topic on the Hajj. I learnt much vocabulary about how the UK can cope with solar superstorms. This is one paragraph with a summary and we will write a summary next class.

My goals from this course: I will work hard and I will learn from small information. I  have to do all duties on time. Learn from my mistakes. I expect I will improve my skills in writing and reading. I will do my best.

Mr.Hedley was my teacher in 2007. He is from the UK. He had many experiences teaching and education. He was in England, KSA, Qatar and Brunei. He has many interests such as rugby, squash and tennis. I will be thankful for everything he gives us.
