Cars make our lives more convenient.

Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world’s largest EV market.
In 2016, 40% of the 753, 000 EVs sold worldwide were sold in China, about twice as many as the number sold in the United States. Chinese drivers are already big fans of EVs.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014, China had 31, 000 charging stations, according to Xinhua. Now China has the world’s largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging stations in total.

Life skills are important to us. What life skills should we teenagers develop? And how? Here is my opinion.
First, we should do our best to keep healthy. It’s a good idea to keep a balanced diet and take daily exercise. And be happy every day. Second, working with others is important. Very often we need to work as a team. We should try to understand each other when communicating with others. Third, solve problems in different ways. We should be able to find out the solutions alone or with others. Besides, learn to manage time efficiently. We can make a list of things we should do every day. Finally, learn some basic skills, such as cooking and keeping safe. We can ask our family for help or search the Internet.
All in all, if we try our best to improve these life skills, we will live a happier and healthier life.
