      Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van (住房汽车).
       A small car can hold (容纳) four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded(拥挤). A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.
      Mr Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and bought a van. The sixth and seventh seat are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases(衣箱) when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents' home, the suitcases are brought into the home and the two seats can then carry the grandparents.
       Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks.

When we talk about our grandparents, the first word we can remember is "old". Super Grandmother and Super Grandfather contest (比赛) gives old people a chance to show their talents to us. What is this contest like?

Every year, people aged over seventy, from all over Georgia, come to Tbilisi to take part in Super Grandmother and Super Grandfather contest. Some play the piano, some dance, some sing and some perform plays. Although they are very old, they perform very carefully. In fact, some of their programmes are good and they are even invited to television shows.

In this year's contest, 80-year- old Tsuri Kakabadze got the title of "Super Grandmother" because she had a beautiful voice. And 77-year-old Yuri Merabov got the title of "Super Grandfather" because he played the piano well.

But the results do not really matter. These old people just come to have some fun. I hope this kind of contest should be all over world. Don't you?
