Exercise 2:
There have been many changes in the automobile since the introduction of the first horseless carriage. Among other things, we have seen the addition of power steering, power windows, air conditioning, anti-lock brake system (ABS), and air bags to protect the driver and passenger in case of an accident. A car can even have a telephone if the buyer can afford it.
Today, automobile companies are trying to develop cars that use less gasoline-and cause less pollution. The state of California passed a law which says that by the year 2003, ten percent of the cars sold in that state should make no exhaust pollution. Consequently, there is a great of interest in developing a good electric car. Models of these cars-cars that make no noise and run on batteries-already exist.
Main Idea: Automobile companies are trying to develop cars that use less gasoline-and cause less pollution.
Spanish translation:
Ha habido muchos cambios en los automóviles desde la introducción del carro sin caballos de fuerza en primer lugar. Entre otras cosas, hemos visto la adición de dirección asistida, ventanas eléctricas, aire acondicionado, sistema de frenos antibloqueo (SFB) y bolsas de aire para proteger al conductor y al pasajero en caso de accidente. Un coche puede incluso tener un teléfono si el comprador lo desea.
Hoy en día, las compañías de automóviles están tratando de desarrollar coches que consuman menos gasolina y menos contaminantes. El estado de California aprobó una ley que dice que para el año 2003, el diez por ciento de los coches vendidos en ese estado no deberían hacer de escape de la contaminación. En consecuencia, hay un gran interés en el desarrollo de un coche eléctrico adecuado. Los modelos de estos coches, coches que no hacen ruido y funcionan con baterías, que ya existen.
