1. Looking back to what life was like two hundred
years ago, it is easy to see that
2. the inventions made during this
time have resulted in incredible progress. The best
3. of these inventions was the computer, while
the worst was the motor car.
4. The main reason for choosing the
computer is that it allows us to do so many
5. things that we could not do before. In
offices, schools and homes around the world,
6. the computer has become such an important
piece of equipment that
most of us
7. would not imagine life without it.
Furthermore, it seems to me that computers will
8. continue to bring us new benefits for hundreds of years to come.

car has brought us more problems than
10. benefits. It is certainly true that the motor
car has made travel much easier.
11. However,
this same invention also causes terrible air pollution which may put the
12. future
of our planet in danger. With the additional problems of traffic jams and
13. road
accidents, the motor car has actually made our lives worse, not better.

ns over the
last two hundred years.
