Describing something

Well, I have a car. My car is small. It is only

for two passengers. It is like a sport car. The
brand is Ford. The color is red. It is made in
America. I bought it 3 months ago in Jakarta.
It is very expensive. I usually drive it to go
around my town. I like my car very much.
