0412 a broken car

Grammar teacher was late this morning because of the broken car.I had an unforgettable experience  of it few months ago. My fiance drove me to sweep tomb.After we finished,he drove me home.When we were on high way,the radiator was broken,which caused lots of smoke to emit from engine. The engine was too hot and we did not have any water in car to cool  the engine down.It was about 12 o'clock and it was extremely hot to stay in the car.There were many cars passing by so it was dangerous for us to go out.Instead of getting out of the car,we had to stay in the car to wait for a trailer.
we waited for a long time because the trailer had to departure from a car repare shop which was 40 kilometers away from the spot we were.Much to my disappointment,the trailer driver over drived so he cannot find us.Two hours later he showed up.At that time,I was about dying because of the hot weather.
After finishing putting our car on the trailer,the trailer drive found an amazing thing-there were too many people there and his car cannot give a ride to all of us.His trailer can only take one more person.At last,we had no choice but to hide in our car which was on the trailer.It was forbidened because passengers may get hurt by doing so.What's more, we had to hide ourselves well.If we were caught,we would be fined.
Though I did not feel good because of the hot weather and my waiting so long,I had to admit that  staying in our car instead of taking the trailer was interesting.It was much higher and we can see the scenery which was far away.
Four hours later,we arrived at home safely and we spent 8000 dollars repairing our car.

  2. Although driving an old car seems to be more vulnerable to this kind of situation, I've learned a lot from tons of car glitches that actually prevents me from experiencing such a serious problem. And I consider myself lucky~
