Interesting question, because it’s always been a lifelong ambition for me to have my own private car, you know, because I’ve never had it. Nowadays, recently, I was employed as a researcher and I could have my own army and I had the opportunity to collect my budget to purchase my dream car. I mean, because as an independent woman, I want to have my own car to reach my destinations and drive my car by myself. And, you know, it’s a kind of sense of possession if I had the chance to purchase my car. And in that way, I could save my time and money because to be perfectly honest, it is really time consuming and sometimes to use a public transport and sometimes they are really costly, even more than having my own car. So, I prefer to have my own and, you know, I’m afraid these days because of economic corruption, it would be really difficult for me to be able to gather adequate amount of money to be able to buy my dream car. Maybe I could just purchase an ordinary one at first and then I could change it with a more expensive one. And it’s okay, I would be satisfied with it.

Interesting question, because it's always been a lifelong ambition for me to have my own private car, you know, because I've never had one. Recently, I was employed as a researcher, and I had the opportunity to collect my budget to purchase my dream car. As an independent woman, I want to have my own car to reach my destinations and drive it myself. It's a kind of sense of possession if I had the chance to purchase my car. In that way, I could save time and money because, to be perfectly honest, it is really time-consuming to use public transport, and sometimes it can be really costly, even more than having my own car. So, I prefer to have my own. I'm concerned these days because of economic corruption; it would be really difficult for me to gather an adequate amount of money to buy my dream car. Maybe I could just purchase an ordinary one at first, and then I could change it for a more expensive one. It's okay; I would be satisfied with it.
