Paragraph:

The first motor car arrived in New zealand. Willam decided to take the mayor out on a ride but they crashed and that was the first new zealand crash. Nicholas oates got his first traffic ticket because he was speeding and because he scared some horses.  

Plus Minus 

Carry heavy loads		Pollutes air
Faster than walking		Could break down
More comfortable than horses		Could have an accident
Faster that a bike		Expensive to buy

“Cars made it even easier to move around and keep in contact , but they were very expensive . Only wealthy people can afford it”.

Vehicles make it really easy for people to get around like go for a 2 hour drive. But they can be very pricey. People that have good jobs and are wealthy can afford to buy one.

I would not but a motor car because you could get into a car crash and some people cant afford a car.
