Bugatti VS Porsche 911 Turbo

Nowadays, many people are interested in owning a sport and fast car according to their speed, power and shape. The Porsche 911 Turbo and the Bugatti Veyron are two of sport cars which are very popular in the world. They have many similarities and differences between each other. In this essay I will talk about the similarities and differences between the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Bugatti Veyron.

The Porsche 911 Turbo and the Bugatti Veyron have many similar things. First of all, both of them are supercars. Next, both of them have a strong and powerful engine. Moreover, both of them are coupe cars which only have two seats. Not only that but also, both of them have a nice and attractive shape which people like because of their design and strong engine.

Although there are many similarities, there are also many differences between these two cars. First, they both cost a lot of money. The Bugatti costs $1.6 m against $140 000 for the Porsche. That tells us nobody can own it because of its price except rich people. Secondly, the maximum speed for the Bugatti is 253mph and it can get from the start to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds while the Porsche is only 192 mph and it takes 3.6 seconds to reach to 60 mph. On the other hand the Bugatti engine is 1001 hp but the Porsche just only has 480 hp .Finally, the weight of the Bugatti is 4339 lbs while the weight of the Porsche is just 3130 lbs.

In the end, we know now the similarities and differences between these two powerful cars. In my opinion I prefer the Porsche 911 Turbo because the Bugatti Veyron is very fast and in our country there are no long highways that we can reach the top speed of it.

Summary for women in China

Summary :

China is the only country in the world where more women commit suicide than men, according to World Health Organization statistics. The suicide rate in rural areas is three times that in the cities. Marriage is a big issue where traditional attitudes still prevail. Most marriages operate like business deals, in which the groom parents buy the bride and she becomes part of their family. For most women, suicide is the only way out of unhappy marriage. The divorce would be a problem for them. They attempt suicide to ask for better treatment from their husbands. In rural areas, sons are preferred to daughters, because only the sons stay in the village to look after elderly parents. When the daughters marry then move to their husband family. It’s become a serious and big problem and they need to solve it immediately.

Mean Idea:

The Chinese women attempt suicide because of the traditional marriage problems. They solve their problems by suicide which makes China the only country in the world where more women commit suicide than men.

My Comment:

In my opinion, the rate of the suicide is increasing and it’s become a serious problem and the Chinese government must find a way to solve this problem.
