-Reword sentence-

"Now that the cost of petrol has risen over the years, and the air is becoming polluted with fumes, a steam powered car could be the car of the future."

“Now that the prices for petrol have gone up through the years, and our air is becoming toxic with the fumes, a car powered by steam may be a car for the future.”

Would you buy one?

Maybe, if they were to be selling at this point i feel they'd still be not as safe as other cars.

What are the pluses and minuses of a steam powered car?

Pluses

-it doesn't damage the environment as much

4-*i didn't really understand that sentence. I'm guessing I’m meant to review the article?-*

The steam powered car would be a good idea if it was to have some tweaks and better safety. Now the article itself was good. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a steam powered car. The article enlightened me in this.

How cars changed the world

Replace words

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

Cars made it much easier to drive around and keep close to friends. Yet they cost a lot of money. Only rich people could buy them.

4-The stories of all different experiences of cars before today are very interesting. The article itself is really good and has a nice way of describing everything and i find it quite cool that they decided to create a story and inform people about this :).

My favorite part of this work was answering the questions! :)
