Cars (I)

Cars (1) It was about 1672. A European man from Belgium was visiting a Chinese emperor. As a gift to the Emperor, the man made a toy. The toy was powered by steam. It had wheels. It was about 65 centimetres long. This toy might have been the very first model car. Of course, the car was too small for a person. But, many people think that this was the beginning of trains, cars and even steam-powered boats.

Today, cars are everywhere. We all know that they pollute a lot. They also crowd our roads. And they can be very unsafe if people aren't careful when they drive them. But why do people still like cars?Because cars are good in a lot of ways too.
