Soccer and
Basketball
There
are many sports in this world, many of them are popular in the United
States. My favorite
sports are soccer and basketball.
Soccer
is
mostly
popular in European and South America, however
basketball is more popular in the
North
America. Both
of
the
two sports have famous
matches
that is world wide known. For example
the National Basketball Association which
is abbreviated as NBA and
the Soccer World Cup. Even
though soccer and basketball are both sports,
there
are
many differences
and similarities
among the two.
Both of them have
many similar ideas
and role.
First, they are all requiring
teamwork
sports. There are many players in each basketball game and
soccer game. The players need to cooperate to win each game, whether
basketball or soccer. Also, both of these
sports last very long in timing.
This requires player in in a good physical condition for long term
game. Last,
because they are long time games, they are both high strength games.
These
players need to keep running in the whole game,
both to the audiences and the players
are
very intense.
Both of them have
many
differences
in gaming.
One example is the field for sports. For soccer, the field size is
90-120 meter in length and 40-90 meter in width. While the field size
of basketball is 28 meters in length and 15 meters in width. In
contrast, soccer field is bigger than basketball field. Another
example is in the soccer field, there is a midfield line and two
forbidden zone line in each side. In the field of basketball, there
is a 3 point lane and a free-throw line of each sides. Last example
is in soccer, the soccer field has a goal in the middle of each
edge,but for the basketball field is the basket.
Both
of the two sports have different rules. First, there are two teams in
a soccer match, and 11 players in each team. For the basketball
match, there are two teams as same as the soccer match, but each
basketball team just has 5 players.When soccer players score, it is
only 1 point whereas for basketball, the goals can be worth 3 points
when player shots out of 3 point lane; or 2 points when player shots
inside of 3 point lane. Moreover, basketball free throws could get 1
point. In soccer matches, the players can use anywhere to touch the
ball except hands. In basketball matches, the players just can use
their hands to play.
In
conclusion, there are many differences and similarities between both
of them. Both of them have similarities in ways of playing and roles.
They both are a type of sports and need strenuous exercises. However,
they have different places to play at and different requirement of a
match. Furthermore, they have a lot of different details and
cooperation of players. Even though they are more differences and
similarities, I still like playing both of them.

Nowadays,
there are so many brand of cars in the world. And there are different
kinds of cars in every brand. Such as Lexus IS250 and Porsche
Cayenne. Although Lexus and Porsche Cayenne have some similarities,
the differences between them are more important.
The Lexus IS250 is
powered by 2.5L V6. One time, when I drive this car to mountain, I
feels like there is not enough power to climb up. The suspension of
Lexus is very low. For example, yesterday I scratch the suspension
when I leave my home. Transmissions feature of Lexus IS250 are Sport,
Normal and Eco modes. When I go to I10 freeway, I can change the mode
to eco, so it can save more gas for me.
The Porsche Cayenne
is powered by 3.6L V6. One time, when I drive this car to mountain, I
feels like the car effortlessly when climbing the mountain. The
suspension of Porsche Cayenne is high. For example, everytime I go
out from home I won’t scratch the car anyway. Transmission of
Porsche Cayenne is 8-speed shiftable automatic .I can easily overtake
cars on the freeway.
Lexus IS250 and
Porsche Cayenne both are four door car .But they also have too many
differences. Lexus IS250 is 185 ft-lb of torque, but Porsche Cayenne
is 295 ft-lbs. Lexus IS250 is rear-wheel drive; however, Porsche
Cayenne is all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is a type of four wheel
drive system that continuously modulates torque distributions,
allowing all four wheels to be powered at all times. Rear wheel drive
allows the rear wheels to move at all times. Rear wheel drive is just
live two wheel drive and all-wheel drive is a type of four wheel
drive system. Typically all wheel drives are better on snowy and
rainy road conditions. Lexus IS250 is204 hp at 6400 rpm; nonetheless,
Porsche Cayenne is 300 hp at 6300 rpm.
Both of Lexus IS250
and Porsche Cayenne are luxury cars, different cars have different
benefits. There is many difference between Lexus IS250 and Porsche
Cayenne. The performance of the two cars are fine. Porsche Cayenne is
more practicability and comfortable but Lexus IS250 is more useful
for families.
