General instructions: 
1. Read the provided essay. 
2. Create  a  critique  of  the  topic  and  evaluate  whether  or  not  the  text  is  worth  sharing 
with other people. 
 
Life  without  a  car  is  hard, especially when you live in the Philippines. The chaos that people 
have  to  go  through  just  to  go  work  and  get  home  using  public  transportation  is  such  a 
hassle.  It  is  very  time  consuming,  so  instead  of  enjoying  the  hours  left  in  a  day  with  your 
family,  you  spend  them  jostling with other commuters and struggling to find a ride instead. 
But owning a car has its own pros and cons.  
 
On  the  positive  side,  having  a car gives you more time to do what you want, like go on trips 
with  your  friends  and  carpool  with  your  officemates.  You  can  also  travel  to and from work 
in comfort.  
 
As  for the negative, not everyone can afford to buy a car with cold, hard cash, meaning, you 
have  to  pay  for  the  car  in  monthly  installments  on  top  of  your  usual bills. You also have to 
consider  the  fuel  costs,  car  maintenance  costs,  and  toll  fees.  As  for  me?  I  think  a  bit  more 
expense  is  worth  it  if  it  means  I  get  to  spend  more  time  with  my  loved  ones  and  do  the 
things I love.
