Life styles





In Italy, soccer is the most popular sport. Fans go to stadiums or watch the matches on television. Italy’s national team has won the World Cup four times. To relax, Italians like to go to the beach, dances, or sporting events. The Italian food is tasty; who doesn’t like pizza? The Italian pizza has a thin crust and fewer toppings. Also, there is the delicious pasta with many kinds or the mostheight="25" popular food, the risotto and gnocchi.  The Italian people are crazy  about cheese; they have more than 500 kinds.  For the Italian kids, the schools are well prepared; in primary school they learn 2 languages, Italian and English. In junior high they learn another one , and education is taken very seriosly so they work hard.

Like the whole world, Egyptians like soccer and go to stadiums or watch it on TV and because they love it crazily it’s played everywhere, on sand or stone, it doesn’t matter. Foul, the popular daily meal in Egypt is made from lemon, spices and fava beans, People eat it by using pieces of bread. Meat is also important in their life, but it’s very expensive so they prefer vegetables and rice.
The poverty is a big obstacle in education. Although it is free, 50% of Egyptians can’t read or write. If they are from the countryside they work on their own farm. If they are poor and from the city, they work in low paying jobs. Rich people prefer to send kids to private school.( http://0-online.culturegrams.com.library.hct.ac.ae/kids/kids_country.php?contid=1&wmn=Africa&cid=15&cn=Egyp )






In contrast, play cricket in India and you’ll have takers. People play cricket all over the country. And they like to watch it. When India defeats its rival Pakistan, there are big celebrations with fireworks and music. Because of religion Hindus don’t eat beef; also Muslims don’t eat pork, and in the north most meals include roti and lentils. In the south they eat rice and it’s very spicy. Indian schools have uniforms; teachers are always called sir or madam, and also they study one more language. Many girls can’t attend school because they are expected to earn money for their families.( http://0-online.culturegrams.com.library.hct.ac.ae/kids/kids_country.php?contid=3&wmn=Asia&cid=58&cn=India )

The SLS looks like an elegant grand tourer



Having a car with doors which open upwards, you will be attractive in the street . However you need to keep the doors opened if you are a midget or you should pay more to get a new option to get them closed.
This is the only disadvantage which the writer talks about. Now let's discuss the advantages. First of all, ride; compared to the CLK the ride is extremely smooth. The writer experienced the road with both cars. Unlike other cars of the same type,the SLS is designed in a way that makes it better to isolate the driver from the working of the engine using rubber,fur, and lightweight materials .
In addition leather and other luxuries make the SLS more like a grand tourer . Talking about the size, it’s 2 meters wide, making your passenger far away from you. Like other AMG cars the SLS is considered a very noisy car especailly on the angle and the colour. For example, from the back it looks rather wide.The SLS would cost at least €157,000 .This is for the basic car without a lot of options. The car which the writer drove cost €194,000 and that’s crazy because it’s the same price as an Aston Martin.
