Supercars

 A lot of people like them and some of them are crazy to drive them.
We can’t blame them because once you drive a strong sport car you feel like flying on the streets. In this assignment I will write about two of the strongest sport cars ever made. The fastest car in the world so far which is Bugatti  Veron. And the 911 turbo Porsche.There are a lot of similarities and differences between these 2 powerful cars. 
( Eric Adams,Joe Brown,Dan Lienert, 2006)

There are a few similarities between the Bugatti and the 911 turbo. The most common similarity is that both of the cars are sport cars, as well as both cars have 2 doors which make it faster and more powerful.The Bugatti and the 911 turbo are basically made to race.
Differences between these 2 cars is like when someone looks to the earth and the sky.
The Bugatti is much more powerful than the 911 turbo;it has 2 engines in the back, each engine is V8 bi turbo which gives the car an incredible power with a 1001 hp. On the other hand, the 911 turbo has an  V6 engine with a small turbo and 500 hp. The top speed of the Bugatti is something beyond imagination where it can reach to 431.07 km/h and that is the speed of an aircraft takeoff. While the top speed of the 911 turbo is 320 km/h which makes it slower than Bugatti. Another difference is that the Bugatti can takeoff from 0 – 60 MPH in 2.46 seconds only while the 911 turbo goes on 3.4 seconds at the same distance. If you are rich and you wish to get an expensive and powerful car, Bugatti is your choice no doubt  its price can reach to $ 2,600,000 and you will be enjoying a car that u can’t see on the streets every day, the 911 turbo is not a bad choice as well, its price is good where it can reach to $ 133,750. However the weight is different between the Bugatti which weights 1888 Kg, whereas the 911 turbo weights 1595 Kg.
(Jethro Bovingdon 2010, P60)

For your information , when anyone buys the Bugatti if he wants the car with full power he have to order a key that unlocks the second engine and the customer have to sign in a paper that makes the company not responsible on anything will happen.

Finally, I prefer to take Bugatti because it’s a very unique car and gives a very good look with a very powerful engine. On the other hands I also don’t like a thing in Bugatti which is: you can’t drive Bugatti every day because it’s not a daily use car.

Gold Caves in Chile


Aladino Olivares ,is a man who found a cave of gold and became one of the richest men in Chile.

He was crawling down  inside a mountain in north Chile when he got stuck inside a cave. He tried to survive with just a basic tool when he noticed gold in the rocks. He filled his bag with gold and got out after climbing the rocks with difficulty.
Olivares started to sell the gold every month on the black market because of the low salary the Chilean miners were getting every month.
The man started to make his own business and he made a lot of money. After knowing of what he did, the president of Chile Sebastian Pinera employed 140,000 miners in a company which secures the caves in Chile.
despite all the regulations that have been made in Chile. The theft of gold never stopped. The government even stopped letting visitors come to the caves, because of the stealing that was happening, to protect the gold that exists in the caves.
