maybe because the english students r used to writing with 'the' while the arabs r more meticulous in their use of the language so they use it properly and don't miss out the article 'the '

I think that it is because it is spoken with each noun in Arabic. The same is true in Spanish and French, so when you hear people speak who are learning English they sometimes do what they are used to doing in their own language.

Because "The" in Arabic is used commonly in Arabic language. and when they speak in English, they tend to interpret it in there minds in there own language. They lose this when they start thinking in English.
