Bugatti and Porsche 911 turbo





The comparing


The sports cars are very fast and expensive. There are two cars which I will compare. The first one is the Bugatti and the second car is the Porsche 911 turbo. They are both famous.
The super cars have some similarities and differences. The first similarity is they are coupes (two passengers only) and they are used for the race. The other thing is that have a nice balance in the street, and they have also comfortable seats so that the passenger can be more relaxed while he drives.
There are some similarities as we know and there are also some differences. The first difference is the price. The Bugatti price is $1.6 M(www.rsportscars.com/bugatti) and the Porsche 911 price is $500,000. The second difference is the horse power. The Bugatti is 1001hp and the Porsche 911 is 480hp. Another difference is the top speed. The Bugatti top speed is 253 mph(www.rsportscars.com/bugatti/2009) and the Porsche 911 is 200mph. The final difference is the weight. The Porsche is lighter than the Bugatti which is 3750lb for the Porsche 911 and 5000lb for the Bugatti.
There are some interesting points. One of the points is the Bugatti engine has carbon parts and they use special wheels to avoid blowing up of tyres. The interesting point about the Porsche is that they used a turbo for the gasoline engine(http:www.autos.aol.com/cars-Porsche-911-2009)and it’s something new for the Porsche to use it and it gives the same power of a petrol engine. Also they use a high performance brake which can stop in seconds from a high speed.
The two supercars are made for the rich people who have money and can buy them. Not all of the sports cars are for races. Some of them are made for pride.

Bahrain park splashes out

The Bahrain water park is the one that is built on top of the biggest mall in the country(Bahrain). The water park covers over 15000 sq m and it has a lot of interesting areas; it has a restaurant, large party room, wave pro, and an outlet selling swimming apparel. The water park can be accessed directly from the mall. The water park has two areas; one is the outdoor and the other is indoor; the outdoor is more fun; it has more than 10 different rides and slides with varied levels of intensity. It can be accessed by adults and children. The water park uses a lot of water: about 24,000 liters per day. The water park will be exciting and good for the country to make money, but at the same time it’s harmful for the environment because it uses a lot of water which causes a lot of problems.

summary of natural paradise gets protection

There are many natural places and we must save them. One of these places is the Hajar Mountains and it is the home of many plants and animals. The area was established in Fujairah. It has been a long time since the country protected the mountains. The government has banned hunting in this area and dropping the trash. Wadi Warayah has a scenic waterfall and it is a place that attracts tourists. The Wadi is also home to freshwater fish. The project must be run by the local people and they must work like rangers to catch whoever will break the law. The UAE has a plan to protect these areas like Wadi Wurayah and they are in contact with the WWF. If we protect this place then we can protect other places and it will be a nice place to visit and to sit there and see the natural view.

Main idea: 1: It's important to save natural areas.
2: Natural areas are like paradise; we must protect them.

My opinion:
1- This article is very good because it has a lot of words that I learnt and it is new for me.
2- I didn't know before the Hajar mountains are beautiful like that, as the article says.
