The table gives us information about the differences between hurricanes and tornadoes.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes are very dangerous and they cause big damage on the places they hit. Hurricanes have a minimum wind speed of 74 MPH whereas tornadoes have minimum wind speed of 40 MPH. Tornadoes usually start over land but hurricanes start over warm oceans. The duration is different between hurricanes and tornadoes because hurricanes duration is 1 week average whereas tornadoes duration is about 20 minutes or less. Another big difference is the width of storms. Hurricanes have an average width of 300 miles whereas tornadoes have an average of 1.5km.
In conclusion, hurricanes are more dangerous than tornadoes because of their wind speed and storm width.

The UK budget in 1996.
The pie chart gives information about how the UK government was spending £315 billion in 1996.
The biggest expenditure was on social security which was £ 100 billion and it is almost double the amount that was spent on health and personal social services which was £ 53 billion. Another huge expenditure was in education and it was probably an annual increase in the schools and colleges equipment. The next category is debt interest with £25 billion. After that comes the other expenditure and the defense expenditure was £ 1 billion less that the other expenditure. Three more costs industry, agriculture and employment. The lowest spending was on transport with £ 9 billion.
The pie chart shows that social security and health and personal social services comprised almost half of the UK government budget in 1996.

How to make Olives Oil
Producing olive oil takes long time and it is difficult process but if you follow the steps it would be fairly easy and you will make a very good quality oil.
First, olives harvesting need to be between September or December becuase it's the best season for it and the harvesting need to be done by hands or with sticks and rakes to give a better quality oil becuase if you used a machine or any other minor the olives could get bruised . After that, the olives are collected in nets beneath the trees next the leaves and small stones and sand are removed from the olives and then the olives are, run though a washer to remove any impurities befor crushing. then, within 24-36 hours of picking the olives are crushing by granite millstones. The olives paste obtained by layered on mats which are put under pressure from the screw or hydraulic press. After that, the liquid oil is collected and put though a centrifugal separator to separate the water and the impurities from the oil that we produced. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

The UAE & Brunei
In this essay I am going to compare and contrast two countries, Brunei and the UAE.
First of all let's talk about the similarites. Both Brunei and UAE are Islamic countries and they both have hereditary monarchies. In addition, Both countries are very rich becuase of the large-scale natural resources of oil and gas. One more similarity is that both countries have national airlines, modern airports and well-developed infrastructures.
Now it's time to discuss the differences between UAE and Brunei. First and most obvious is geographical location. The UAE is in the Middle East whereas Brunei is a tropical country in the Far East. Another difference is climate. The UAE has winter and summer, but in Brunei the weather is largely the same all year round. It also rains a lot more in Brunei and , as a result the tradition is to build houses on stilts. Another difference is the currency, dirhams in the UAE and ringgits in Brunei. Furthermore, people drive on the right in the UAE but on the left in Brunei. Secondary education in single-sex in the UAE but co-educational in Brunei. A final difference is dress; people in Brunei do not wear dishdashas or ubayas.
I think I prefer UAE to Brunei because it's where I grow up, but from what I heard Brunei is as good as UAE.
