of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

English is the language of business and

your English must be good. I also like English
because I like Arabic and I think proficiency
in Arabic leads to proficiency in English. My

it rarely happens. In fact I love English. It is

warming

Global warming
This affects us now and will affect future generations. But what
exactly is global warming. Here‛s a brief explanation. Read the text
and then answer the questions on the adjacent page.
Global warming refers to the rise in the temperature of the earth‛s
atmosphere and oceans.
The earth is naturally warmed by rays from the sun which pass
through the earth‛s atmosphere and are reflected back out to space
again.
The atmosphere is made up of layers of gases, some of which are
called ‘greenhouse gases‛. They are mostly natural and make up a kind
of thermal blanket over the earth. This lets some of the rays back
out of the atmosphere, keeping the earth at the right temperature
for animals, plants and humans to survive.
But if extra greenhouse gases are made, the thermal blanket gets
thicker and too much heat is kept in the earth‛s atmosphere. This
leads to rising temperatures.
Increasing global temperatures will cause sea levels to rise due to
the melting of the glaciers and sea ice. Other effects of global
warming include an increase in the intensity of extreme weather
events, changes in agricultural yields and species extinctions.
There is considerable worldwide debate about the causes and amount
of warming expected in the future. This debate also covers what
action, if any, should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming.
Here‛s a hot
topic . . .
global warming!
29. 3. Animals and plants can survive in all temperatures.
1. Global warming affects everyone. TRUE FALSE
4. The weather will become more extreme. TRUE FALSE

What can I do?
There are ways you can help cut greenhouse gases and help stop
global warming. You can
can make a difference.
□ Re-cycle glass bottles, newspapers and tin cans
□ Re-use plastic shopping bags
□ Use paper on both sides
□ Don‛t leave the TV or video on standby
□ If you get a lift to school in a car, take your friends with you
□ Switch lights off when you‛re not in the room
2. Greenhouse gases are all man-made.

The Queen's Guard
The Queen’s Guard appears on the cover of this month’s magazine.
The Queen’s Guard is the name given to contingents of
soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in
London. Soldiers have guarded the Sovereign and the Royal
Palaces for over 300 years. The regular hand-over of guards
takes place on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, the official
residence of The Queen in London.
Known as Changing the Guard, the process
involves a new guard exchanging duty with the
old guard. The hand-over is accompanied by
a Guard’s band. It is a very colourful and enjoyable
spectacle.
When The Queen is in residence,
there are four sentries at the front
of the building, When The Queen
is away there are only two guards.
The Queen’s Guard usually
consists of Foot Guards in their full
dress uniform of red tunics and
bear-skins.

32. Eid al-Adha and the Hajj
32
32
Eid al-Adha festival
marks the end of the
Hajj or Pilgrimage.
It celebrates the
sacrifice made by
the prophet Ibrahim
when God asked him
to sacrifice his own son,
Ismail. Ibrahim agreed
to do this in order to
show his commitment
and loyalty to his Lord.
As Ibrahim drew his knife to sacrifice his son,
God intervened and Ismail was replaced by
a sheep. God had asked him to sacrifice his son
to test his faith and when Ibrahim proved he
was willing to do it, God did not need him to commit the
slaughter of his own son.
This is why Muslims all over the world sacrifice an animal at
Eid al-Adha, as a reminder of Ibrahim‛s obedience to God.
The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is the
pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah in Saudi Arabia.
The Hajj is a duty for all Muslims who are physically and
financially able to make the pilgrimage. Eid al-Adha takes
place on the 10th day of the last month of the Islamic
calendar.

38. The Sharjah Museums Department has
restored some historical houses and
established museums in the heritage area
of Sharjah. These places are all well worth a
visit for both children and adults.
This month we look at Sharjah
Heritage Museum, which opened its doors
in 2004. This museum is in three
renovated traditional houses that are joined
together. In the museum you will find wonderful displays and mini-exhibitions about
the lifestyle, crafts and traditions of a centuries old society.
Exhibits date back to the time when the population was small and people relied on trade,
pearling, seafaring, fishing and farming to survive. The museum has exhibits to interest
both children and adults covering education, currency, the postal system, traditional
skills and crafts, early medicines, musical instruments, textiles and jewellery.
This is a perfect place for you to visit during
your school holidays later this month. You
can have fun and learn at the same time!

English Language? To find out complete this poem with the
words below.
rings observation quicksand lights

Let’s face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
And neither pine nor apple in the
pineapple
English . . . . . . . were not invented in
England
French . . . . . . . were not invented in
France.
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find
that . . . . . . . takes you down slowly
Boxing . . . . . . . are square.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be
phone beeth?
English was invented by people, not
computers
And it reflects the creativity of the
human race (which of course isn’t
a race at all).
That is why
When the . . . . . . . are out they are
visible
But when the . . . . . . . are out they are
invisible.
And why it is that when I wind up my

But when I wind up this . . . . . . . ,
It ends.

John Logie Baird and the Television
His invention
John Logie Baird
John Logie Baird was born in Helensburgh
in Scotland on 13th August 1888. He was
educated at Larchfield school and the
Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical
College.
He married Margaret Albu in 1931 and
they had two children.
During his life he invented numerous items, including a glass
razor, pneumatic shoes and thermal socks but his most famous
invention was the television.
He died in Bexhill-on-Sea in England on 14th June 1946 at the
age 57.
Although the development of television was the result of work
by many inventors, Baird is one of its foremost pioneers. He is
generally credited with being the first person to produce a live,
moving television image.
In 1925 Baird successfully transmitted in his laboratory the
first television picture.

Scotland, England and Wales are three countries
and together they form Great Britain.

kilometres of telephone
line between London
and Glasgow. He then
set up the Baird
Television Development
Company Ltd, which in
1928 made the first transatlantic
television transmission, from London
to New York.
He demonstrated the world‛s first
colour transmission in 1928.
It is difficult to imagine life without television. TV now
spans the globe and is the world‛s most popular form of
entertainment, offering multiple channels covering all sorts of
subjects.

At school my teacher is from America but our books are from
England. Sometimes I get confused. Should I worry about this?
Melissa, Ras Al Khaimah
Please don't worry. It was the writer George Bernard Shaw who
observed that England and America are two countries divided
by a common language. Although the language is superficially the
same, there are some profound differences in vocabulary, tone,
tense usage and spelling. We will cover some of these differences
in later issues.
