Bugatti VS Porsch
Cars these days have become one of the most important industries in the world. There are many names fitting in this industry to be on the top. Also there are many companies whose names have become famous these days. In this essay, I will compare between one two biggest names in the world. The Bugatti Veron and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
There are some similarities between these cars. The first one is both have strong engines and move on four wheels. Also there are two seats in them and the motor is located at the back of the car.
There are many differences. In terms of prices and the maximum speed and torque. And the time it takes from zero to sixty miles per hour, and the number of horses and the weight. The Bugatti price is$ 1.7M, the top speed speed is 407KPH and the time it takes from zero to sixty is 2.5 it has 1001 horse power, 1250 torques and the weight is 1888kg.(www.veyronbugatti.com)
The Porsche911Turbo price is $140700, top speed speed is 210mph and the time it takes from zero to sixty is 3.4.It has 500 horse power, 516 Ib-ft torque and the weight is 1570kg.( http://gulfnews.com/life-style/motoring/porsche-911-turbo-best-all-round-supercar-1.594787) And there is a special Porsche 911 turbo. Corralled in the engine bay are 125 extra horses for a total of 480 from the 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Torque is rated at 460 pound-feet from a low 1,950 to 5,000 rpm. The Sport Chrono Package Turbo, which offers an over boost function, further raises the torque to 505 pound-feet at the touch of a button.( http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-911-turbo-convertible.html)
Conclusion. In my opinion the Bugatti is a more interesting car, and it is so fast when you drive it, you feel like a bird in the sky. However, the price is too high and not any one can buy it.
The Porsche 911turbo is a very nice car and not so high price and good quality and anyone can buy it, and I like it because of the shape of the car and the name of the car.

Chinese women
In China, one woman kills herself every year. Some women commit suicide impulsively. A husband and wife may conflict.
Marriage is arranged by parents and it is like a business, buying and selling a product.
Studies agree that many of the women who attempt suicide each year are attempting to gain some dignity - to bring home to others their sense of anger and frustration. Besides traditional attitudes, modern trends also seem set to place China's women under increasing pressure. In rural areas where social security is weak, women will face an even more terrible future in 20 years time. Abduction and trafficking of women will increase. So will prostitution, as well as sexual violence against women and rape. There are vocational courses on cooking, hairdressing and computing, as well as classes on marriage laws, suicide prevention and gender awareness. Since opening in 1998, 4,000 trainees have passed through its doors, typically going on to work as restaurant cashiers or factory clerks.
The move to the city is not without risk. Many young women have been sexually abused by their bosses, and working conditions are often abysmal.
Main Idea
Many women suicide in China because of traditional attitudes, husbands, sense of anger and frustration.
Comment
The government should realizes the extent of the problems that is facing the Chinese women and find some solution for it. In my opinion the government should change the rules about the marriage.
