There are many kinds of cars in the world. My grandfather thinks this is because cars are like their drivers. He says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don’t agree with him.

My neighbor, Mrs Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday to the bank. She never drives more than 30 kilometers an hour. Do you think Mrs Hill has a very old and small car? No! Her car is new. It’s very large, and it can go 200 kilometers an hour!

My friend Mike is an artist. He paints beautiful pictures with lots of colors. But his car is black. Mrs Bates has a very, very old car. It often has some trouble.

Every Sunday, he drives to the country with his wife, his three children, his mother and his dog.
