      Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working,they usually have two cans. When the family is large,one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van (住房汽車(chē)) .

      A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded (擁擠的) .A van holds seven persons easily,so a family with three children can ask their grandparents to travel together.

      Mr King and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell the second car and buy a vaa There are seven seats in the van,and two of them are used to put things on,for a family of five must carry many suitcases (手提箱) when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home,the suitcases are put under the two seats. And then they can carry their grandparents.
