I think it is hard for a teenager to live in the modern society. For example, how to go to
school is a problem I often worry about. Every afternoon, my father picks me up at the gate of the
school. Many parents pick up their children, too. Most of them drive private cars. Of all the cars,
Tracy’s father’s car is the best. Tracy seems to have a very rich father. She always has beautiful
dresses, shoes, and bags. Besides these, she is also very beautiful. But she has no friends in
school. When other students are playing, she never joins them. I don’t like her because she is too
perfect. It makes me uncomfortable to make friends with her. She seems to have everything.

four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop
wherever you wish—where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you
can enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for
