Americans with small families own 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 and they will buy a van (住房汽车) . A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded
(拥挤的) .
A van can 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 Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell their second car and buy a van. Their children are usually asked to sit in the back seats behind them. The sixth and the seventh seats are used to put other things,for a family of five must carry many suitcases (箱子) when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents' home,the suitcases are brought into the home and 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 travelling to the mountains or to the seaside,they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of the big family can enjoy a happier life when they are travelling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. InAmerica, there are many parks for motor homes.
