summarizing & referencig

I enjoyed learning summarizing & referencing because it will help me in my academic life. It will help me to convert the long sentences to few words. It is important to use the references to reserve the copy rights of the writer and tells us who wrote this information and one day if I wrote something and publishes it to the public I would like to see my name when someone’s copy my work or else I will sue them.

In my opinion, the reference part is the easiest due to the fact it takes few minutes and the methods we learnt are easy, simple and smooth. On the other hand, the summery  takes  a lot of time because you to read the entire article, the method is a bit long and there are many steps like rephrasing and finding the main idea and its depended on how much I understand the text.

This information will help my in the future, if I was asked at work to do a research or a report I would use the methods and the skills I learnt in summarizing and referencing to do what I was told. Also, when doing a presentation I would summarize my ideas and be as brief as possible so the audience won’t get bored.

I would like to learn another class like 1103 in the future, because I consider this class very important and useful for my future and it will help in doing my work in a professional way and improve my skills in English.

Preserving Emirati Traditions

The sports in the UAE, like falconry and Arabian Saluki hunting are an important part of the UAE culture and the working to protect the traditional sports like horse, camel and dhow racing. These sports affect the process of attracting tourists. In these days there is a lack of awareness among the UAE community about UAE culture and we must try to change their thinking about their culture because it is considered part of their identity and their country tourism. In the past, the UAE's population use animals in their living to hunt and for transportation. Parents and schools have responsibility of teaching the children the meaning of culture and traditional. The wild life hunting is controlled in a certain time a year so, it’s changed from hunting to racing. Abu Dhabi focuses on heritage and culture, as a part of UAE tradition is important as much as anything else.
