Elephants Culling


In this article, the author discusses an issue that is in S.Africa. Nowadays, S. Africa is culling the elephants. The reason for that decision is because the population of the elephants has grown from eight thousands to eighteen thousands. "People living close to elephants complained that elephants are dangerous, eat crops and compete with people for water". This decision was the last resort for the government and they are aware that by this decision, they will anger many animal right campaigners. It may sound awful, but this is the last resort that the government is doing.

The Trip to the Future

Last week on Wednesday I went to the Emirates Palace with my class mates and our instructor Frankie. We went there to see the Masdar Zero-Carbon city model, Saadiyat Island model and the Arts of Islam.

The first thing that we did there when we arrived is waiting in the lobby for the rest of the students. Masdar Zero-Carbon city model. My first impression was that it was big and advanced. There were lights that showed us the places and the locations of the facilitates like mosques, hotels, universities, and the method of transportation in the model. My favorite thing in the model was the style of the buildings; the buildings were very artistic and creative. Another thing that I liked about the model was the method of transportation. People will actually have to move and walk from one place to another rather than using cars. The most impressive thing about this project is that there will be Zero carbon, and zero waste.

After seeing the Masdar city model, we went to see Saadiyat island model. To be honest, when I saw the model, I was shocked because it was gigantic and unique. This project has many new and advanced facilities the will put UAE, Abu Dhabi to be specific, in the spotlight. Having a lot of known museums like the Louver, and the Nottingham. I was amazed when our instructor, Frankie, told us that there is going to be an entertaining center where big artists and performers will come and perform. This island will be for tourism. I loved the designs of the buildings because they were unique.

Later on, we went the Art of Islam; I really loved everything in it. I loved the armory there. There were swords, knives, and daggers. Over all, I loved the gallery.
In conclusion, I enjoyed the trip because Frankie explained while we saw. I t was very educating and enjoying
