Bugatti and Porsche 911



Nowadays, no one can deny that cars are playing a vital role in our daily lives. Most people are not sure what type of car is better, the Bugatti or the Porsche 911 Turbo. So in this essay I will compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

There are some distinct similarities between the two. The first similarity is they both have a unique design and style. Each car has grand sport shape, screen TV and GPS. We can see they both have two seats and the seats are more comfortable and are made from the skin of animals and have a beautiful style. The second similarity is that they are both consistent in their twists and turns and also both have a brake system SIP. So they are both not for drifting.

Although there are a number of similarities there are several differences between the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The first and greatest difference is that the Bugatti is more expensive than the Porsche 911 Turbo. The Bugatti costs $ 1,400,000; on the other hand, the Porsche costs about $130,000. It is more expensive because it has more facilities, more comfort and has excellent safety. The second difference is the top speed. The Bugatti is the world's fastest production car, with a top speed of 407 km/h but for the Porsche the top speed is only 312 km/h (Dr. Ing. H, 2010) .Also we can see the acceleration from 0 to 60 mph. The Porsche takes 3.6 s and for the Bugatti it is 2.5 s. Also we can see the Bugatti accelerates from 0 to 186mph (300km/h) in less than 17sec (Chris Chilton , 22 July 2009) . The other difference is the weight. As we know the Porsche looks smaller than the Bugatti. Although the weight of the Porsche is 3481 the Bugatti is 4,100 lbs(Alex Nunez, 26 June 2006).

In conclusion, from what I have mentioned above we can see that the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 Turbo are similar in many ways but very different in others. In my opinion the Bugatti is better than the Porsche 911 Turbo because it is more beautiful and it is faster than the Porsche. Also the Bugatti has 1001 horsepower which makes it more powerful.

Summary of traditions weigh on China's woman

Summary of traditions weigh on China's woman
Christopher Allen wrote this article in June, 2006. He wrote it because he saw that the traditions affecting women in China increase the number of suicides there and there are a lot of statistics which confirmed it. The first reason is easy access to toxins from agricultural areas. The traditional marriages are a big issue and they have become like business deals . Xu says that conflicts between the wives and husbands caused 70-80% of suicides . If women get an unhappy marriage they think to commit suicide because it is difficult to get out of it. Probably after 20 years there will be fewer women in China, around 40 million deficit, because they will face many difficulties in their lives. Xu's organisation mentioned there are projects and attempts to prevent suicide, to find out what is happening to Chinese women and to sensitize them and to teach them skills in various areas of their lives to be able to live . The writer believes that it is better that women go away to work in the city to get the confidence and realize the value of the individual and their capabilities.

Main Idea
The writer wanted to show that rural Chinese women face many problems and difficulties because of the traditions which lead to suicide and there are huge numbers who commit suicide.

My opinion
In my opinion the government must provide for them work in the cities and cancel the tradition of rural marriage and they have to choose themselves the personal freedom for anything .
