Bugatti VS Porch 911 Turbo
Nowadays, you can see many kinds of car in the world which are the sport and super sport type. According to the Gulf Newspaper, the majority of young people prefer to drive super sport cars because they like to challenge time and live the adventure, however there are the Bugatti and the Porsche 911 turbo and I have decided to write an essay to explain the similarities and differences between these two super sport vehicles.

First of all, let's talk about the similarities in the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Bugatti. They are both super sport cars with a super engine which can produce torque and high performance. Also they are both manufactured in Germany. Another similar point is the engine is located in the back of the car to reduce the air resistance. Next the Porsche 911 Turbo is a four wheel vehicle, as the same as the Bugatti. In addition they are both two door cars and come with advanced features like body kit color and spoilers. Next to that they are both having an air condition system to cool the air down while driving in the summer season and heater to warm the temperature in winter. Finally they are both expensive cars because they are sport and luxurious car.

Not only are the cars are expensive, but the difference between them is huge because 'the price of the Porsche 911 Turbo is $130,000 but the Bugatti is $1,400,000' (www.leftlanenews.com/bugatti-veyron-16.4.html). Therefore, it is definitely not fair to compare them. Another difference of owning the Bugatti is you can reach up to 407 km per hour with torque 922 N. On the other hand owning the 'Porsche 911 Turbo you can reach up to 312 km per hour with torque 650 N'(www.veyronbugatti.com). Another difference is that the Porsche 911 Turbo's weight is 3481 lbs and the Bugatti weight is 4162 lbs. Also the Bugatti Horse Power is 1001 double the Porsche 911 Turbo which is 500 HP. Finally the acceleration from 0 to 60MPH : 'the Bugatti reach it within 2.5 seconds and the Porsche 911 Turbo in 3.7 seconds according to Top Speed website(www.topspeed.com).

The interesting point of the Bugatti is the spare parts are very expensive comparing with the Porsche. Also the history of Buggati was to make super sport cars. Finally the Porsche is popular with luxury features.

In my opinion the Bugatti is much better because it is the fastest and the best in the world but it is too expensive. So I will choose the Porsche 911 Turbo because it is a super sport car and easy buy compared to the Bugatti.

2011 Mustang Car

This article is a motoring review of the 2011 Ford Mustang. Also it has a five litre engine, unofficially code named Coyote. On the other hand it is a 4 passenger with 2 doors coupe car. And according to the article, its power and ratio should be the best sport car because the top speed will be 149mph with in 35.3 second.
Variable valve timing which is exists in a new system of an exhaust system. The company also tried to improve the automatic gearbox to keep it smooth without shacking in the gear. Although the new sealing around the radiator to allow the air to be passed to the engine from the front cover and under body. Next they car improved the brake system and they altered the shape of the wheel and introdused new-style spokes. There are some optional wheels with red callipers and 19 inch spokes.

Main Idea:

Michael Austin describes the new Mustang sport cars which the company has improved the car design with high torque of the engine. Also he describes some about an optional part.



My comments:

In my opinion if they make the new Mustang car with an optional body to be a family car or larger from inside it will be better. But if the reader is going for a sport cart absolutely he will be looking in the improvements on the Mustang car.

Traditions Weigh On China's Women

Traditions Weigh On China's Women
Christopher Allen wrote this article in 2006. He wrote it because 150000 women commit suicide every year, because it is easy to find poisons in agricultural areas, specially after having a bitter fight between a husband and wife .
In rural areas many traditional marriages are arranged like business deals in which the groom buys the bride and she becomes part of his family so this leads to emotional problems and an unwilling feeling leading to arguments and fighting.
Because of strict birth policies, the studies show that many young men won’t be able to find wives in 2020 because China will have a shortage of 40 million woman by 2020.
Xu Rong says the best way to solve this problem is by doing a small project and discussing the social problems with women and trying to increase the level of education especially in agricultural areas.
Women going to work are helping to decrease the number of suicides because they will be far away from the farms. On the other hand working could be dangerous because of the dangers of being sexually abused.

Main Idea
The huge number of women suicides in China could affect China’s population. Also how to increase the level of education in people in the agricultural areas and let them solve problems by taking an effective action.

Comment
The government of China should solve the problem by putting active solutions not only by making rules like the number of children in each family.
