How do you write an effective essay exam?
1- Read through all the questions carefully.
2- Budget your time and decide which question(s) you will answer first.
3- Underline the key word(s) which tell you what to do for each question.
4- Choose an organizational pattern appropriate for each key word and plan your answers on scratch paper or in the margins.
5- Write your answers as quickly and as legibly as you can; do not take the time to recopy.
6- Begin each answer with one or two sentence thesis which summarizes your answer. If possible, phrase the statement so that it rephrases the question's essential terms into a statement (which therefore directly answers the essay question).
7- Support your thesis with specific references to the material you have studied.
8- Proofread your answer and correct errors in spelling and mechanics.

Another major different is the job.In the past the people didn’t have many opportunity for the job . For example ,they only have two or three jobs they must for them chose one to work .While , in these days there are many jobs and people can chose any job they wont with high salary .
However ,there are some similarities in life style in the UAE between past and present .The major similarity is clothes .The people in the past and present wear similar clothes.
