ID number: H00227715

The problem: water shortage

Venue: research and innovation center

Date and time: Sunday, 22^nd May 2012, at 8:30

     First of all, Omar began his presentation by defining the meaning of water shortage, which means the lack of water. Then he discussed the causes of water shortage which are divided into two categories, human made and natural causes. The human made is industrial waste. The natural causes are global warming and annual floods. Furthermore, he talked about the consequences of the water shortage, which are agriculture, economy and famine. Moreover, he discussed the solutions for this problem and he mentioned three solutions. The solutions are water conservation, purification, recycling and reusing water. Water conservation means reducing the use of water and to avoid waste when using it. That can be done by preventing people from wasting water by giving them a warning and then cutting off the water. Also, let them pay a tax based on the amount of water they used, so they will control the amount of water they will use. He understood the topic that he was presenting and answered all the questions asked to him in a correct way. He was looking at all listeners and acting with them in a good way.

Reflection on the presentation

The presenter: Abdulla Ahmed

Abdulla made a presentation about the history of fireworks, the developments in fireworks and the modern use of fireworks. He presented the subject clearly and in an organized way. Also he provided the listener with new and useful information such as those fireworks/flares were used to ask for help when a ship had a problem. Moreover, he told us about the story of the Titanic when they fired the fireworks to ask for help but the people thought that they were celebrating. So, no one went to help them and see what happened to them. Also, he talked about the different types and colors of fireworks. Furthermore, he talked about the science that developed the fireworks, so they have different shapes when they are fired in the air. He was confident and he was looking to the listeners to attract their attention. Also, to make sure if anyone wanted to ask any question as he mentioned when he started the presentation.

Mohammed Abdulla started the meeting by introducing the problem we’ll discuss in the meeting which is the air pollution. Also, he introduced each member in the group to each other. Then he asked the participants to tell him the solution for the problem. He controlled the interview in a good way.

Abdulla Jaber started with the first solution which is using hybrid vehicles and he said that it will reduce the air pollution. Abdulla Hussein said it is a good idea but he thought that hybrid vehicles cost too much money, so it is difficult for all people to buy them. Mohammed Abdulla said I agree with Abdulla Hussein.

Mohammed Abdulla asked the participants about their idea of using buses instead of cars for people who live in the city. Abdulaziz said that is a good idea, because using buses will reduce using cars which will reduce harmful gases such as carbon dioxide. Abdulla Hussein and Abdulla Jaber agreed with that solution.

Abdulla Hussein said using underground metro is a good solution to reduce the pollution. Abdulla Jaber said it is a good idea but it will cost too much to build it and Abdulaziz added it will take a long time to build. Mohammed agreed with both Abdulla Jaber and Abdulaziz.

Mohammed asked them about their idea of recycling newspapers and plastic bags. Abdulla Hussein said it is a good idea because plastic bags have harmful compounds. Abdulla Jaber said recycling is essentially done by the government.

Abdulla Jaber said that there should be rules for factories to reduce the use of harmful gases. Abdulla Hussein agreed about that point and said that factories should be in areas away from cities. Mohammed said it is a big problem because it causes something called acid rain which can destroy the environment.

The participants were so active and they have the ability of answering anything that was asked by the chairman. Also, they gave the chairman good ideas and they supported their ideas with good explanations.

1)      Using buses instead of cars for people who live in cities.

2)      Putting rules that limit the factories from using harmful gases.

3)      Recycling the newspapers and plastic bags.
