where is egypt from cotton now ? from number one to zero !!!!!

Cotton has been one of Egypt’s major industries since the beginning of the nineteenth century . it is very succesful as an export. The reason for its value is the excellent quality of Egyptian cotton . it is very strong and the plants live longer than other varieties of cotton . it sometimes produces three or four crops a year.
However, the farmer’s job is not an easy one . the plants last a long time without being renewed, so they are easily attacked by insects and diseases . among these are insects, white fly and type of black fungus which covers the leaves. These can be controlled by pesticides
Recently , farmers have decided to try to solve their problems by using biological methods. This involves destroying the pests by using natural , rather than chemical means . for instance , if this crop is attacked by white fly a farmer may introduce into since most of the land in Egypt is desert , there is only a small area where cotton can be grown for this reason , farmers and scientists are constantly trying to improve farming methods so that they can produce as high yields as possible. The cotton must also be picked quickly when it is ready so that another crop can be planted immediately .
Much  Egyptian cotton is sold before the crop is planted ! in 1989 the Japanese bought all of the “giza 45”variety before the season had begun. It proved to be one of the best types of Egyptian cotton.

Tuk Tuk function for those who do not post it

A tuk-tuk  is a type of taxi with three wheels . the driver sits at the front .and behind him is a seat for three passengers. Sometimes four passengers can fit into the tuk-tuk , but it is very uncomfortable ! they are called tuk-tuk  because of the funny sound of their small engines. There are thousands of tuk - tuk in Bangkok , Thailand.
One tuk-tuk driver is pom sanniwat . pom is fifty – two years old, and has been driving his tuk –tuk  for almost twenty-five years . like many tuk – tuk drivers pom comes from the north of Thailand. Pom’s village was very poor . there was no work on the farms, so pom came to bangkok . HE decided to become a tuk –tuk driver because it looked like fun.
Pom likes being a tuk-tuk driver because he can speak to many people everyday .He can also earn over 400$ a month . Almost any one can become atuk - tuk driver. Tuk-tuks are very easy to drive . but driving a tuk-tuk has its disadvantages, too. When pomm started  driving his tuk-tuk , he often got lost! Pom also has  along day. He works from six o’clock at night . there are many cars and buses in Bangkok , so there is a lot of pollution . the pollution is bad for pom’s health.

the bicycle from generation to generation will continue to be environmentally friendly

Many things we use every day to go from place to place move on wheels , for example . the bus . the motor bike . the car and many others move on wheels , One of the things that move on wheels is the bicycle . bicycles are important for both young people and grown-ups . people use them for fun and for work all over the world.
the history of the bike is interesting. in 1818 . the bicycle had no pedals . the pedals were added in 1839 the pedals made them move faster than the old ones . more speed was possible by making the front wheel very large . but such bicycles were dangerous to ride .
BY 1900 , MOST of the bicycle parts that we know today were developed  . They include equal - sized wheels , brakes to stop the bike , a chain connecting the pedals to the rear wheels . and various speeds . bicycling is now an exciting sport and a means of transport . using the bike to go to school or work is  a clean an easy of moving around . Unlike other means of transport , the bike does not use petrol . this means that the bike keeps the enviroment from another good thing about the bike is that it does not need a big space to park . this is why in some big cities in the world . people can only ride bicycles
