Emma's Students Stories, Cars by Jerry

Cars, as a product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of human society. Industries need automobiles for farming as well as for transportation. Every day, cars drive people to and from work. On weekends, cars take families for joy outings. Even during holiday seasons, cars fill the streets everywhere, even in remote areas. It could be said that the wheels of cars move society forward. Cars have also given rise to a series of problems. For example, cities are overcrowded with cars. They create a lot of noise and traffic accidents which disable or kill many people each year. Worst of all perhaps is the air pollution caused by the exhaust gases produced by cars. Some of the gases are highly toxic and a serious health hazard.
