Antti / Finland
Do you have a car?
Hello everybody. This is Antti from Finland. I'm from Central Finland. My question for elllo.org today is, do you have a car?
And my answer is, yes, I do. I do have a car, and my car is a Hyundai I-20. It's blue, and I need to drive my car every day because I need to go to school by car. And my school is about 15 kilometers from my home, and there are no bus connections from my home to my school. I also have a bike, and I ride my bike only in summer, and it's more like a hobby.
So what about you?
Do you have a car or would you like to have a car or do you have a bike?
Okay, bye-bye.
