England is one of the first countries that has developed the car industry in the world. "Englishmen

thought before buying a car. Each kind of cars has its advantages and disadvantages.
A modern car is enjoyed. It is comfortable and economical but it is rather expensive. Only the rich
can afford to buy it. A large car can carry many people at the same time. It is very good for a big family.
However, it uses a lot of petrol to start the engine and run. It is also difficult to get a space for parking. A
large car is forbidden in some streets. A driver can drive his small car to any place. It uses less petrol and
it is easy for the drive to park. But it is only for a small family and it can't run fast.

Typescript
My name’s Maurizio Celi. I come from Bologna, a city in the north of Italy. I’m a student at the
University of Bologna. I’m studying modern languages - English and Russia. I also know a little Spanish,
so I can speak four languages. I’m enjoying the course a lot, but it’s really hard work. The course started 3
years ago.
I live at home with my parents and my sister. My brother went to work in the United States last year.
After I graduate, I’m going to work as a translator. I hope so, anyway.
