Mecca is the city where I was born. It was quite small in terms of area and population. Over the last two decades especially when the country became more wealthy, the city experienced big changes in different fields, such as the transportation , the education , the health and the buildings. In terms of the transportation, Mecca is a mountain city so moving from place to other was taking long time, but now the government digged number of tunnels to make the traffic more smoothly. A high speed train station was built in the middle of the city to help people to avoid the traffic jam. A number of skyscrapers sprang up recently and the most important one is called " Abraj Albait" which is the highest tower in Saudi Arabia. In terms education, A new building of the university of Mecca was constructed in the south of the city and the old building of the university knocked down and replaced by a big public library. As well as this, many schools built in most suburbs of the city. The health care in Mecca was improved dramatically, the construction of the medical city of king Abdullah was one of the huge projects in the country which has all the medical specialisations.
overall, the city experienced a lot of changes over the last twenty years and all these developments occurred after the improvement that occurred on the country's economy.
It's very impressive, Sami. I'd like to visit Meca, especially Abraj Albait.
ReplyDeleteRecently, some Korean soccer players play for a couple of proffessional teams there. I hope we watch the soccer game together :-)

Well done Sami! your description is very inviting.
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice that you also included details as health and education into your comparison and you did a great job using a lot of connectives. If you don't mind I will just say it: The only thing that I would try to avoid is using a word twice in a sentence. It is not a terrible mistake, but perhaps you could say:
ReplyDelete... all these changes occurred du to the prosperity of the country's economy.
I'm not sure if that is what you meant, I hope I didn't annoy you :)

Thank you Patric for your comment. Korea has many professional players and some of them playing in Saudi Arabia and one of them is seol ki heyon who plays in the best team in the country . I hope that we watch the match together.
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased to see your comment Milena. you are right it was a mistake when I repeated the word twice and the sentence which you have written is exactly what I meant.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing your advices in the future
