As the years went by, cars and petrol become cheaper. People could buy second- hand cars, too. These days, there are well over three million cars in New Zealand.
1. Cars make it easier to carry things.
2. In New Zealand, hundreds of people are badly hurt or killed in car crashes every year.
3. Cars helps us to get to places more quickly.
4. Cars can make us lazy. We stop walking and cycling and become unfit and unhealthy.
5. Cars help us travel long distances.
Lots of New Zealanders own a car. Many people rely on their cars, especially if they have to travel long distances. Cars are useful, but they have their down side too.
1. Some cars are expensive to run and maintain.
2. Cars give us shelter from the weather while we travel.
3. Exhaust fumes from some cars can pollute the air.
4. Electric cars are cleaner to run than petrol cars.
5. If there are more cars, we have to build more roads.
Cars are important in our daily life's, but there are other options for getting around. Maybe we don't need to use cars as much as we do.

Hey Jabal
ReplyDeleteYou should be very proud of the work that you have done with this topic. I agree that cars have changed the world and New Zealand in particular. I think that during lockdown, most of us have had an opportunity to explore those other alternatives for getting to places like walking and cycling.
Way to finish it off properly, Jabal!
