Text 2: Explanation

All planes need air to presure under their wings to stay up in the air. As they move

forward. The higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them

lift.

The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flows easily over its surface.

This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to

move rapidly through the air.

Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward

keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, theplanes will begin

to descend very quickly.

The air above the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.

The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher

pressure than the air above the wing.

outside there household sphere. Many woman, however, have some difficulties deciding

wheter they will pursue a career or not. Some of them stay at their offices, while at the same

time they act as a housewives. But, the other choose to concentrate their attention to their

household only.

Being career women offers the advantage of a wider chance of self-actuallization.

They can widen their knowledge and develop their capacity. For example, many women do

not know exactly what is their talent before they start a career. But then, after they have a

career they know which field they can do best and which one they can’t. This will help them

to refocus their life goal.

Another big advantage is that they can help supporting their household ‘s finance so

that men do not become the single fighter in financing their families. For example, if a wife

works, she can help her husband financing their children’s educational budget, so that their

children can have the best education.

Being career women, on the other hand has some significant disadvantages too. They

have more burdens in their life, as they have to manage their job as well as their household.

the same time she has to think about how to handle her naughty son.

have to spend their time in their career as it grows more challenging, so they have only

limited time left for their family, resulting in their lack of care and attention for their

household and children. The extreme impact of this situation is the broken home.

In the end, the decision that each woman makes will depend on their own personal values, as

well as their readliness for taking on the considerable consequences of each choices.
