Original:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can drive cars, but I have driven cars by myself. I have got my driving license for almost ten years, but I’m scared of driving on the road. My father always pushes me to practice driving, but I’m not addicted to driving cars. I think if needed for my work I will practice driving. I think cars is a good vehicle to cars, that’s because it’s very convenient, but at the same time it brings a lot of environment pollutions and other problems. Sometimes the traffic is very crowded, so that it’ll waste a lot of time in the road. The government has announced some strategies to solve the problems. They set some laws to limit the quantity of cars and adjust the crowded time.<\/p>\n
