Did you know that oil is the most internationally traded
good? And did you know that the Middle
East significantly exports more oil than any other region. In fact, the Middle
East has two thirds of the 1trillion barrels of the world’s oil reserves. Besides
oil the Middle East also exports clothing, minerals, iron, chemicals, steel, automotive
parts, and textiles. Also the Middle East imports beef from the U.S . In 2010 the
amount of beef imported by the Middle East went up by 75 percent. If you want

I thought it was interesting that one of the main languages in the Middle East is Arabic. It is spoken by over 220 million people. Not only do they have different words, they have a different alphabet. Since the Middle East has a lot of the world's oil and there are so many political problems in that area, it would be cool and fun to learn the language. It might also lead to a great job! Learning the language would take a long time, but it would be worth it.
