Hi there, Grace! Here are the two photos I've picked for our "Tastes differ" project. In the first, a young woman is driving her own car, both hands on the wheel. In the second, a young woman is standing on the street, waving her hand to stop a yellow taxi, so unlike the driver in the first photo, she doesn't own a car and has to flag one down instead. Driving your own car gives you total freedom to go wherever you like, whenever you like. Taking a taxi, on the other hand, means you don't have to drive yourself or stress about finding a parking spot. Of course, owning a car isn't cheap once you add up fuel, parking and traffic jams. Taxis can work out expensive too, and sometimes you're left waiting ages for one to turn up. If it were up to me, I'd choose driving my own car every time. It's just a far more flexible and independent way to get around. You're never stuck waiting on anyone else's schedule. Anyway, that's my honest opinion. I'd love to know what you think. Speak soon, Grace!
