Iran is a country in the Middle East. It is bordered by Iraq to the west. The Caspian Sea borders Iran to the North. The Persian Gulf borders Iran to the South. Afghanistan borders Iran to the East. Iran is 636,296 square mile. 65.8 million people live in Iran.

Life expectancy is the average number of years a member of a population is expected to live. In Iran the average number of years a person is expected to live is 69-70 years old. Compared to other country's, Iran and Iraq are tied for the second smallest life expectancy and Yemen is the smallest life expectancy.

Population density is the average number of people per square mile. As I said in the first paragraph, Iran has 65.8 million people that live there. Compared to other country's, Iran is the third biggest population in the Middle East.

Urbanization is the industrialized areas in a country. Iran and Kuwait are tied for have the biggest urbanization. Yemen has the lowest urbanization. Compared to other county's Iran has one of the biggest urbanization.

Ethnicity- Ethnicity is a grouping based on common culture narative distinguished by customs nationalitie or race. The order of most common ehnicity in Iran are persian, Azerbaijani, Other, Kurd, Arab. The most common ethnic group in Iran is Persian. But the most common ethnic group in the middle east is Arab. Arab is also the most diverse with 100%, 95%, 97%, 80%, 17%,5%. I think that the number of ethnic groups in Iran are low but there are many people in each group.

language-The vocal sounds and words common to a particular nation or group of people.Persian is the general language in Iran. None of the other countries in the middle east speak persian but all of the countries speak arabic. If you are planning to go to Iran be sure to know your persian, at least that way you will be able to speak to most pepl there.

religion- a system of beleif and worship often involving a code of ethics or philosophy. Islam/Muslim is the main religion in Iran. All of the countries exept Egypt and Turkey have Islam/Muslim as a religion. I think it is very amazing that in these countries they have few religions but in America we have all of them.

conclusion- Iran like many other countries has very similar things to the other countries in the midde east. They all have the language arab. They also have islam/muslim. In conclusion Iran is a very generic country in the middle east.

Your lead paragraph flows very well, and gives a great description of your country. Also, I did not notice any spelling errors. The body paragraphs contain definitions and accurate information on the demographic categories, as well as data. There are numerous comparisons to other countries' data. The personal observation: "I think that the number of ethnic groups in Iran are low but there are many people in each group." is very good. Also, the sentences flow very well. You did say that Iran is similar to other countries, and said why. Your concluding sentence wraps it up very well. Nicely done! -Travis

Very good! I liked that you were able to write the introduction in a way that didn't make it sound like you were just listing facts. I noticed that when telling the life expectancy, pop. density, ethnicity, etc;, you also included those of other countries as well. And, like Travis said, the sentences flow very well;). Also, i like how you chose to use a simple black font that's easy to read and not bright. -nora<3
