Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He p 1 didnt know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels (轮子). And it helped to make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons that the car has become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is huge and Americans like to move around in it. The car o 2 the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation (交通). People can go any place w 3 spending a lot of money. The second reason is that the United States doesnt have a good and cheap form of public transportation. Long distance trains arent as c 4 in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. In fact, there is a good s 5 of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive.

Or they always say that, dont they? = They always say that, innit.)Instead of saying very, really or completely, people use well (e.g., Im well tired or You got it well wrong!).Hes fine or Hes fit both mean Hes good-looking.
