Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo

Most people nowadays like to drive cars. There are several famous companies that produce cars such as Bugatti, Porsche and Nissan. Cars are known everywhere in the world. A long time ago people used to go from one place to another by walking but today everything has changed. In my essay I am going to write about important similarities and differences between the Bugatti and Porsche 911 Turbo cars.

The first similarity is that both cars are famous cars. Those two cars are ranked top cars and are designed as fashionable cars. Another similarity is that both cars are expensive. This means many people cannot afford those cars. The Bugatti costs $1.6 million while the Porsche 911 Turbo costs $137,360 to 140,780. The last similarity is that both cars are made in Europe. The Veyron and the Porsche 911 Turbo are made in Germany.Although there are similarities between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo, there are also differences. (http://www.rsportscars.com/bugatti).

The first difference is that the Bugatti top speed is much faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo. This means the top speed of the Bugatti can reach 253 mph while the Porsche 911 Turbo can only reach 192mph. Another difference is that Bugatti's horse power is much more powerful as opposed to the Porsche 911 Turbo which is the weaker. The Bugatti's horse power is 1001 hp while the Porsche 911 Turbo is only 180 hp. The final difference is that the Bugatti weight is more than the Porsche 911 turbo. The weight of the Bugatti is 5000 lbs but Porsche 911 turbo weighs 3650 to 370 lbs.(http://www.porsche.com/)

In my opinion, I like the Bugatti car because it's the fastest and most expensive car. In addition the Bugatti car has higher features of horse power, weight and top speed. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Veyron.

Nature Paradise gets Protection

In the Hagar Mountains there are more than 100 species of animals. It's been a short time since the country's first protected mountain area in Fujairah. The Emirates wildlife society works in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature (EWS-WWF). The Wadi is also home to fresh water fish and people can enjoy camping areas, nature trails and having barbecues. The only problem that prevents the success of the Wadi project is local tribes. Another issue to the success of the project is sponsorship. Managing will help the Wadi avoid the fate of other picturesque spots and will increase the number of natural beauty spots in the UAE. Dibba Rock is considered one of the most beautiful natural areas which has a large number of visitors. The increasing number of visitors can damage the environment.


Main Idea:


1)Wadi Warayah is a rugged beautiful place which is considered a natural paradise.

2)Emirates Wildlife Society works in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature (EWS-WWF).

3)Another issue to the success of the project is sponsor ship.



In my opinion, "Natural paradise gets protection" article is one of the best articles I have read because it shows how people protect and manage the environment.

fast food

Junk food these days is considered unhealthy but is there a difference between the meals and what is good and bad for us?
Junk food is fast food which has a lot of fat and it's considered unhealthy. McDonald's and Domino's pizza are labeled as junk food and the two most popular chicken restaurants are Nando's and KFC. Many people think that pizza is a healthy meal but in reality pizza is junk food except Italian pizza while KFC and Nando's are considered to have the highest fat contents. Most junk food are popular because they are trendy and fashionable.

Overall, junk food has different kinds of contents such as, nutrition, carbohydrates, fats .By exercise you can change your meal from unhealthy to healthy food. I prefer to eat in the house rather than a restaurant because I think that all junk food is unhealthy and I don’t like it.

Main Idea:
1) People these days do not know the reality of junk food and its nutrition.
2) You can make your food and cook it in a unhealthy to healthy meal.

my opinion :

I like junk food article because it showed me how to cook in right way and change your meal from unhealthy to healthy.
