1. Do you think that cars and gasoline are necessities?

Sample answer:
Yes, cars and gasoline are part of man’s necessities. Transportation makes our life easier. We can
reach our destinations the fastest and easiest way, but if we do not have our own car, there are
other several means of transportation. We can use the bus, taxicab and train, not to mention
the airplane or ship. Bicycles and boats are also on the list since the price of gasoline is too high,
nowadays.

2. Do you think that the increase on the price of gasoline greatly affects the
market today?
