I. Discuss the following questions.

a) Why are there so many models of cars today?

b) How does the car design influence your choice of cars?

c) A car designer is a very prestigious profession nowadays. Can you explain why?

II. Some students are at the exhibition "History of Cars". Listen to their con­versation with the guide and learn how the first automobiles looked like.

Guide: …If you look to the right you will see the first self-propelled steam-driven vehicle.

Alex: Who was it designed by?

Guide: It was designed by the French military engineer Cugnot in 1763. You see, it had three wheels and could carry only two passengers.

Helen: What was the maximum speed of this vehicle?

Guide: Four miles per hour. And it stopped every 15 minutes in order to make more steam.

Alex: Oh, that's not very comfortable.

Guide: Definitely not. But new motor cars with gasoline and diesel

engines were introduced at the end of the 19th century. Look at that small car without a roof. It was constructed in 1893.

Alex: And where was the engine placed?

Guide: Right under the seat. The drivers always carried large cans of fuel and some spare tyres with them because there were no repair stations to serve them.

Paul: Unbelievable. I wouldn't like to be in these drivers' place. And what about that beautiful car? It seems pretty modern, doesn't it?

Guide: Well, that one is a famous Volkswagen Beetle, one of the world's most loved cars.

Alex: And why has it become so popular?

Guide: I think, mostly because of its design and low cost.

Helen: These cars are still in operation, aren't they?

Guide: Yes, they are. I'm sure they will be produced even in greater numbers in the future.
