How Does a Car Work?

A car runs because of its engine. The engine is a machine that transforms fuel or
gasoline into heat energy, making the car’s wheels turn.
First, gasoline flows into the carburetor where it evaporates and mixes with air. Then,
the fuel-air mixture is compressed inside the cylinder as the piston moves up. A spark is
produced by the spark plug and ignites the mixture. This drives the -piston down to
make way as the burning fuel expands. The downward movement of the piston pushes
other parts of the car. The energy released by the gasoline is transmitted to the wheels.
Used gas is then expelled into the air as the exhaust valves open.

22. This 21st century, cities have grown so large that now about fifty percent of the

areas because of perhaps a better material life. Another reason is that many big schools,
colleges, and universities are to be found in the cities, even in newly created ones.
Parents are lured to send their children to these institutions due to the promise of better
education. Still another reason is that as cities grow, people put up places of leisure,
entertainment, and culture. For rural folks, these facilities make city life appear more
interesting and exciting than life on the farm.
