29. Writing Test

Think about your favorite kind of car. What is special about this car? Why do
you like it? Write at least four sentences.

Actually, my favorite kind of car is the tesla because it is a different car because, they are electric
cars that do not use gasoline and take more care of the environment.
I like the tesla as it has two motors. one forward and one back and also counts as a technology that
you can place the car to drive alone. And finally, it has a system that takes care of your animals
when they stay inside the car.
