Compare



Nowadays, there are many fast cars in this world. I’m sure it is the Bugatti Veyron that is the fastest car in the world. Now, I’m going to compare between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 turbo and I will show the similarities and differences of each car.

All sport cars have similarities and differences, but now I’m going to show a few similarities between the Porsche and the Bugatti. The first thing is the number of passengers. These two cars are only for two passengers and that means both cars are coupes. The second similarity is the type of the two cars. Both cars are sport type and they are very expensive. Also they are very fast and very safe. The third similarity is where they are made. Both cars are made in Germany.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti )

But there are more differences then similarities and I would like to write about some of the differences between each car. The first difference is the number of horse power. The Bugatti has 1001 hp but the Porsche only has 480 hp.( http://www.leftlanenews.com/bugatti-veyron-16.4.html
) The second difference is the size of the engine of each car. The engine of the Bugatti is 8.0L with 16v that can give speed of more than 410km/h but the engine of the Porsche 911 turbo is 3.6L with 6v and can speed 310km/h. The last difference is the price of each car. The Bugatti costs more than $1,400,000 while the Porsche 911 turbo costs $140,700. ( http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-911-turbo-convertible.html )

As you see from what I have written, the Bugatti is better than the Porsche because it has more features . I hope to buy one as soon as I can because I want to drive my car at high speed in Yas Marina Circuit which is in Abu Dhabi

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.

The Hajar Mountains are home to the Wadi Wurayah protected area which has more than 100 of birds and other animals. The most important thing is to save this area because the country wants to attract tourists. The ruler of Fujairah a decree issued that the area is off limits for development. This wadi is recommended as a must see in UAE off road and tourist guides. The wadi is also home to garra barreimiae which lives only in the Hajar Mountains. There are more than 300 species of plants including a species of wild orchid unique to the UAE. There are many rangers to catch poachers targeting the rare animals. Dibba Rock was protected and it attracts hundreds of divers so if we protect this big area, we can protect any area in the Emirates.
