  1. Masdar may use US waste technology

    Masdar is one of the industrial city in Abu Dhabi, which has a lot of sewage sludge (industrial solid waste),so the government decided to use Ener Tech which is Technology that has been used in the U.S that changes the sewage sludge into almost 0% carbon fuel . It is really interesting because the UAE is thinking in positive side towards the environment and that will help to get rid of sewage sludge and get a good stuff of fuel. However, this Technology has been used in the USA since 1992, where the built the first power plant near Los Angles and this power plant produces a lot of 0% fuel .I feel that this article is connected to me because it is related to the engineering and it has a lot of good information.

  2. Ga Ga for Genji

    The Tale of Genji is a very old famous Japanese novel, inspired by an imperial lady. There had been a special celebration for the novel. The first animated television series of The Tale of Genji has been launched this month by Fuji Television.
    The article first talked about the author, an imperial lady, and how did she thought of it and how it’s been discovered after 1000 years. The article also mentioned some events happened through the story.
    Approximately, all of the Japanese people love this novel. What’s more interesting is that they will make many big celebrations; special actors will perform on a stage in front of 700 people and cooperation from a Japanese university.

  7. Hi...
    I have read an article from The National sport news paper which about Raul Gonzalez a famous player in Real Madrid. He is the only striker in this team. The title of this article is (Raul proves he is still Real deal) because he is scored the second Real Madrid goal at Numancia and he record 307 goals from 1994. The most interesting thing he is scored his first goal when he was 17 years old in Atletico Madrid and he supported as a boy and who rereleased him as a youngster. By the way, I don’t like this club because I’m fan of Barcelona.

  8. The title of the article that I read is mixed doubles fortune for Mirza. The main idea of the article was about Sania Mirza’s life in the tennis court. Her start was in India she was the best tennis player in India and she scored all the trophies. After a short time she started to compete in international events like the grand slam and the WTA event and she got the first place in them. The interesting point in the article was when she got injured and she left the tennis court for a long time and that led to take her down from the best ten tennis players in the world, but after that, she came back strongly to challenge the second best player Nadia Petrova from Russia. A topic that is related to the article is ‘Serene Serena feels like she can go on forever’. About the last question the article doesn’t connect to me.

  12. The title of the article was “Independent taxi drivers feel hounded”. I choose it from The National the emirates. The main ideas of the article talk about how the white and yellow independent taxi drivers are suffering from the finance and the private companies. The interesting point in the article is the number of events that the drivers face and how they feel unfairly treated. But RAK officials say that most operators only get warnings for violations but that drivers should sign on with new private cap firms. They will let the privet taxi drivers to join the privet companies like Al Hamra and Al Arabiya. On the other side the privet taxi drivers refuse to sign with them saying that they will decrease the money they earn from their privet work. The article is connected to me because it is a social issue and I think the old taxi is better than the new one because they know the area and they have more experience.

  14. Hi again,

    Yesterday, I read a very interesting article which is about “Under the Microscope”. The microscope is a great machine and the best of the amplifiers. People use this machine to see very tiny things or alive creatures that we cannot see by eye. It is a group of different types of Lenses. Small creatures, such as bacteria and viruses can be seen by using a microscope. Students use it in science subjects in the schools, colleges, and universities. “In 1609, Galileo, father of modern physics and astronomy, heard of these early experiments, worked out the principles of lenses, and made a much better instrument with a focusing device” (About.com/Inventors). The microscope has some types like the eyepiece lens, the tube, the arm, the base, and the Illuminator. In this developed world, we need a microscope very much. This article make me interesting because it is about biology science. A microscope related to the science inventions.

The new Downtown Burj district, which has been plagued by limited access and poor road signs, is finally coming to life, residents and retailers claim. They say less-confusing road signs, improved transportation and roads, and clearer access to its attractions are helping the district draw new residents and shoppers. Retailers at the souq bahar say business has improved since October and the Dubai shopping festival led to a spike in interests in the new Dubai Mall.
