2. Imagine that you asked your parents or guardians for a car. They said, “Yes, but. . . .”

Your responsibility will be to pay for insurance, gas, and maintenance if they buy this car for you. In an informal proposal:

a. Explain the type of car you want and why you want it.

b. Describe how you will pay for the car’s expenses if you do not have money and your parents or guardians do not want you to work more than ten hours a week, as would be required at a restaurant, grocery store, or department store. Identify your problem and consider alternative solutions.

Be creative. Think of ways you can earn money other than by holding a regular job.

List as many options as you can.

c. Write the solution you would propose to your parents or guardians.
