5) WRITE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING TOPIC USING BETWEEN 120-150 WORDS (4 POINTS). What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars? Justify your answer.

Solución: Composición de entre 120 y 150 palabras sobre las ventajas y desventajas de los coches eléctricos. Ejemplo de respuesta: In recent years, electric cars have become increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles. However, they come with both benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, electric vehicles are much more environmentally friendly because they produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping to reduce air pollution and fight climate change. Furthermore, they are quiet, smooth to drive, and usually cheaper to run and maintain in the long term, as electricity is generally less costly than fuel. On the other hand, there are still notable disadvantages. The initial purchase price remains quite high for many families. In addition, charging infrastructure is not yet fully developed in all areas, and batteries can take a long time to recharge compared to filling up a tank of fuel. Finally, long journeys require careful planning due to limited driving range. In conclusion, while electric cars are definitely the future of sustainable transportation, their high cost and limited charging networks are still significant challenges.
