- 1. All of the college courses were learned by myself. In other words, I am a self-taught student. (While grammatically correct, it is usually best to avoid starting a sentence with "But". This is especially true if it is the first sentence in a list.) 2. I think this item should be first, but I really don't understand what you are saying. These terms vary a lot by country. In the US, children first go to elementary or primary schools, then they go high school or secondary school, and lastly college or university. There can be a middle school between elementary school and high school. 3. By study alone, I met various difficulties (possibly change to "I faced various challenges"). When I encountered problems, I usually read or thought about these problems over and over again until I arrived at a solution.0 votedMarch 8, 20161
<em>I have corrected the grammar and changed some of the wording. It still sounds like it was written by someone who is learning English, but I didn't want to change too much or you wouldn't understand why I made the changes. Overall, your entry was easy to understand even with the grammatical errors. Also, I agree with the premise that cars can enslave us.</em>
Cars enslave us rather than free us
It may be a common knowledge that everything in this world can be percieved in oppositions. It means that everything can have two sides, either advantages or disadvantages. No doubt, it also can be related to the use of cars for several reasons.
A person who is going to buy a car often is driven by its benefits such as an easy way of locomotion, which is, of course, perfect, because you can go where you want when you want. You do not have to wait for or depend on any city transport. It brings a feeling of freedom.
However, there is another point of view. This freedom may not really be the freedom which was expected. It is imporatant to recognise that a car requires a lot of money for fuel, for the yearly technical survey (<em>I don't know what you are referring to, maybe annual license renewal</em>), for fines, for insurance, and for buying new parts if something is wrong with the previous ones. It comes to mind, that it is necessary not only to earn money to buy a car, but also to earn additional money to support it all the time.(We ususally don't think of fines as part of the cost of owning a car. So I would just remove fines unless you meant fees, such as license fees or tollway fares.)
Of course, an additional disadvantage that cannot be ignored is that cars damage our environment by the gases they produce. Nowadays the number of cars is increasing and the most important consequence is the alarming rise in the levels of pollution.
Taking all things into consideration. it might be said that cars enslave us rather than free us.0 votedNovember 21, 20151
