Hi,

To compare between THE choice of going on vacation or a buying a car, I would choose buying a car. Since childhood, I HAVE OFTEN (usually) dreamed of driving a car. Whenever my parents bought me a new troy?? car, I fantasised myself/IMAGINED driving and sitting in a/THE driver'S seat and turning itsTHE steeringWHEEL. Whenever, I see a car parked in a market, I can't resist touching and peeking through the windows. As a teenageR, I bought many books and posters of differentLY designed cars. I AM particularLY ( take) more interestED in A sportS car with those shinny/SHINY colours.
Today, whenever I go (for) shopping, I make it a point to visit car show rooms and spend many hours there. I become so passionate with/ABOUT the car that I feel, every one should own a car. I even consider that car and vacations are synonymous to each other. If you have a car you do not need to spend huge amountS of money on vacation. For me going on (for) A long vacation to some alien/FOREIGN land is more tiresome than enjoyment/ENJOYABLE. Besides, even if there is some enjoyment, it is only for the limited period of time; a week, a month or a year and then it just becomeS A past memory.
However, when we have a car, our lives become more flexible and more independent. We can enjoy every moment of our life. We do not need TO depend on someone else. Whenever you think you need some break from the daily hectic life, a long drive with (a) soft/GENTLE music inside is a perfect WAY TO RELAX (rejuvenating). There is no need for us to spent/SPEND huge amountS of money on booking your train or bus ticket.
Therefore, if my friend asked me which one to choose between buying a car or going on holiday. I would definitely, advice/ADVISE BUYING to buy a car. |
