Diamonds

Diamond is the hardest material and the most precious stones in the world. At the same time, diamond is an important factor to burn the fire war. I will talk about the value and history of diamond.

Diamond is a carbon and it's turned when there are two conditions extreme pressure and temperatures of about 1000C. Magma Via is the substance that transports diamonds from 150 km (90 miles) underground to the surface. Erosion is the process that leads to diamonds being exposed on the surface.

There many countries produce diamonds like Canada, Brazil, India and Russia. Africa is responsible for producing most of the world's diamonds. De Beers Consolidate Mines Ltd is the name of the biggest diamond mining company in the world and they mine most of their diamonds in South Africa. They control two-thirds of the world rough diamonds trade. In the early 20th century this company keeps the price of diamonds high by restricting the amount of diamonds on the market. On the other hand Antwerp, Belgium has been a diamond centre for 600 years. Indian family and Lebanese are associated with the diamond trade in this city. Today 1500 polishers and cutters are left in this city. %80of the world rough diamonds pass through the city. Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3000 years. %90 of the world's rough diamonds are cut and polished in India. The rough diamonds come from two places Antwerp (Belgium) and Tel Aviv (Israel). Indian workers get 40 cent for each cut and polished gem. Dubai is a city has growing Reputation as a diamond hub. The government in Dubai is trying to attract diamond traders to the city by putting an n incentive. The special deal is no tax or zero tax for 50 years. Nearly ₤ 1 billion the business worth in Dubai.


In conclusion, pop stars or hip hop stars buy a lot of diamonds. In my opinion diamond is not for showoff. I think we have to focus first at how to buy conflict-free diamonds.

My Profile

Shakespeare talks about seven periods of time but I'm going to talk about my three periods of time childhood, teenager and the last scene of all. Also I will explain about my future and what I will do on my future.

My name is Ibrahim Almarzouqi and I'm nineteen years old. My father worked in Abu Dhabi Media before he retired. I have four brothers and I'm the third of them. First I will describe my life before I went to school. I didn't remember that period very well but I have enough memories to talk about them. I remember when I was a child I entered daycare and played football with my friends. Also I remembered my uncle's face when he was seventy years old before thirteen years ago an I'm sad because he is not with me now but I know that his soul and his body rests in peace. I entered primary school when I was eight years old and I remembered that I wasn't comfortable because this way the first time I entered school.

Life as a teenager, this period is what I'm now living in but this period maybe began at thirteen. This period is a wonderful period and the same time it's a difficult because you will face changing in your life and these changing will show you two ways, the first one is the true way and this way learn you many things about life and how you can make a success of it and learn about the true behaviors. The second way is exactly as a hell way because from this way you learn wrong ideas about life. However when I was sixteen years old I was naughty. I remember that I cut my hair with scissor and I lied and told my father that my brother cut my hair. Until now my father remembers what happened and he blames him. When I was seventeen years old I left his behavior and tried to prove myself by education and religion. At this moment I'm now a student in the common year in ADMC. I'm trying hard to get a high GPA by studying and learning everyday.

To be a successful person you have to relax after you finish your work to refresh your mind. I refresh my mind by traveling in the summer vacation. Last summer vacation I traveled to India. India is a wonderful place where you find a nice weather, big elephants, old civilization, green lands, good people and excellent tasty food, I traveled there with my family and went to Madras where we have a house. We spent one month in India and I enjoyed my time. I would like to say that India is a magic country.

"The time is sword, if you aren't cut him, it will cut you" wise men said that to people and I remember this sentence when I have a free time. In my free time I love to go outside and visit my friends or play football with my brothers. If I stay in my home, I watch TV and my favorite film is Harry Poter because it's an adventure film and I like this kind of film.

The pursuit of Happyness is a movie inspired by a true story which affected and changed my thinking about my life. The movie is about a father (Chris Gardner) who is doing everything to make special features for him and for his son (Christopher). I surprised and shocked when I saw this movie because Chris had 36$ just without house, car and without salary when he was in stockbroker-training. With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son he becomes a millionaire. This film is my flagship and it's a one of my references. Now I'm doing my best to get my ambitions and happiness. By this movie everything changes in my life.

My ambition and my future need some factors to get them. After I pass in ADMC, I would like to be an Electrical engineer because my brother works there and the UAE government's needs national engineers. Also my ambitions are buying a villa for my family, live in peace and I want to see my country in the ten top develop countries. Finally, although it's easy to say I want, it's hard to do.
