Egypt

      Egypt is a great country .It is considered as a pioneer and leader of the whole Arab World. There are great changes in Egypt before and after the revolution .Although there are similarities between the two periods before and after the revolution, there are differences in the social, political and developmental conditions.

      There are similarities between the conditions before and after the revolution. It is obvious that the big problems still exist and cause bad results. For example, in the previous years, there was the problem of poverty. Similarly, this problem does not change because of the daily protests and strikes. Moreover, the various problems of the previous regime such as education, population and security are as the same as in the recent days after the revolution.

      On the other hand, there are differences before and after the revolution. The first difference lies in the social condition. Most of people in Egypt before the revolution were poor. In contrast, they now began to improve their conditions by hard work and strong will. Another example, they were suffering from injustice and they were oppressed. On the contrary, they are now free and they are able to face gradually all the obstacles and harsh situations.

      In addition, the political condition is the second difference. Egypt follows great steps towards success and progress. In the previous years, the elections in Egypt were faked. In contrast, they become more legal. Another example is that some politicians face unfair judgments from the previous regime such as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamist preachers.  On the contrary, they are now able to take political actions such as the Parliament.

Finally, the third difference is the developmental condition. There was no interest in supporting projects due to the unfair and dishonest treatment of the previous regime's men. On the other hand, new projects and investments are increasingly achieved in different areas in   Egypt. Moreover, the previous regime did not care about suggesting real activities to improve the industrial and agricultural fields. Different from the previous years, the recent government attempts to do plans for the reclamations and productions in all aspects of the society.

     In conclusion, it is clear that these conditions change slowly. However, we should admit that Egypt has been changed from bad conditions to better one. The social, political and developmental conditions will lead the country to progress and civilization.

Wonderful Cities

           The world is full of wonderful cities. For examples, Pairs, Beijing , Stockholm. These cities lead their countries to civilization and development. They are the most famous cities around the world. Although Pairs, Beijing, Stockholm have something in common , there are differences such as location , size , population , temperature and weather.

          There are similarities between Pairs, Beijing, Stockholm. To begin with, they all considered capitals of the most famous countries in the world. Pairs is the capital of Franc; Beijing is the capital of China; Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. In addition, all of them have an ancient history. To explain, Pairs was founded by the Romans and called it Lutetia, but at the end of the Roman empire, the city was named Pairs. Similarly, Beijing was founded over 2,000 years old and it has been the heart of China's history for centuries. Likewise, Stockholm dates from the 13^th century but it did not become the capital of the country until the 16^th century. Last but not least, they all depend on tourism for most of their income. To illustrate, Pairs is the most visited city in the world as it has lots of interesting places to visit such as Notre Dame Centre, the Louver museum, Effile Tower and lots of nice cafes and restaurants. Similarly, Beijing is famous of its great palaces, temples, and huge stone walls and gates. Like Pairs and Beijing, Stockholm is one of the most crowded museum-cities in the world about 100 museums visited by millions of people every year.

        On the other hand there are differences between the three cities. First of all, their location is different. Pairs is located on the River Seiene in the north of the country. Unlike Pairs, Beijing is located in the north of the country. Different from Pairs and Beijing, Stockholm is located by the Lake Malaren on the east coast of Sweden.

In addition, the second difference lies in their size .For example, Pairs occupies 1.2000 square kilometer. Different from Pairs and Stockholm, Beijing has an area of 1,377 square kilometer. On the contrary, Stockholm has an area of 375.25 square kilometer. In other words, Stockholm is bigger in size than Pairs and Beijing.

                                                                                                                    

       Moreover, the population rates of the three cities are not the same. To illustrate, Pairs has a population of 9.93 million people in its urban area while Beijing has 8.5 million inhabitants in its urban area. In contrast, Stockholm's population is 1.2 million people.

       Nevertheless, weather is different from one country to another. Pairs's climate can be described as mild and moderately wet. Summer days are usually warm and rain falls all the year. . In contrast, Beijing has a humid continental climate influenced by the monsoon and summer is the rainy season. Unlike the formers, Stockholm's winters are quite cold and summers are much warmer.

       Finally, the last difference is temperature. In Pairs, the average lowest  temperature is 24c in July and August; the city's average yearly precipitation is 641.6mm. Unlike Pairs, Beijing's lowest temperature is -7c in January while the highest temperature is 26c in July; the annual precipitation is over 600 mm . In contrast, Stockholm's temperature is as low as -7c .The highest temperature is25c; the annual precipitation is539mm.

       In conclusion, Pairs, Beijing  , Stockholm are interesting and modern  in the world. It is clear that their differences in location, size, population, temperature and weather give each city its own advantages. They also are similar in some points.
