Americans with small families have a small car or a large one. If both parents are working they usually have
two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold (卖) and they will buy a van.
A small car can hold (容纳) four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowed (拥挤).
A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday
travel. They could all travel together.
Mr. Green and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. The
sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they
travel. When they arrived at their grandparents' home, the suitcases are brought into the room, the two seats can
then carry the grandparents.
Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling
to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days. All the members of a big
family can enjoy a happy life when they are traveling together.
That is why motor homes have become popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.
