　　篇一：鼓励公共交通

We are now really ambivalent about private cars because they, despite contributing greatly to our life, are also the root causes for chains of aftermaths: intensification of congestion, worsening air quality, and even the decrease of public physique. Being afraid that the situation will go further, we are now putting public transportation again in our sights. However, because of some subtle reasons, instancing vanity or self-esteem, some of us turn their backs to accepting short-distance buses or interstate coaches. Thus, several approaches should be adopted to encourage them.

The re-organization of bus routes and improvement of infrastructure should come first. Local authorities always focus their attention on some “hot spots”, such as downtown, prestige neighborhoods, and the districts with dense population but are deaf to the strong demands from those “less important” areas, including suburb areas and the ones of complicated geographical conditions, where eventually become “blind spots”. Failing the access to public transportation, the grass-roots in these places have perforce to choose private cars. If bettered roads and reformed traffic arrangement allow buses to reach these people and they will not shrug this way off because it is so environmentally-friendly and, more importantly, can also ease their economic burden.

Another strategy for stirring the public to use public transportation should be related to governmental propaganda and some special services should also be provided aboard. The practice of France can teach us a lot. The local authorities of Paris organize an activity called “Busing Your Dream”, the mileages of a passenger will be exchanged to his credit and this credit will be very helpful for a passenger to apply for personal loan or jobs because banks and companies believe that the citizen loving environment is trustworthy, and vice versa. Meanwhile, bus companies also provide weather forecast and exclusive news. It is obvious that the carrot and stick approach is also powerful in this aspect.

In conclusion, the popularity of public transportation can only be fulfilled by the government and public, thus, the key to this problem is that the two parties must spend collective efforts, both in hardware and awareness.

　　篇二：私家车的利与弊

Advantages and disadvantages of private cars.

With the fantastic spur both in industry and in economy in China, the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Some people have bought cars of their own, and others are planning to buy cars. But there have been two quite different views on this phenomenon.

Some claim that there are many advantages brought about by cars. First, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers and strong support for other industries. Second, if conditions permit, owning a car can make us work more efficiently. Finally, life will become more convenient. A car allows one to move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.

However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. Next, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration caused by traffic jams. The last problem is the increasing number of car accidents that have killed and will kill a lot of people in a friction of a second.

In my opinion, although automobiles have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of our society, they also bring us numerous troubles such as more serious environmental pollution, more traffic accidents and more energy consumption. They drink up huge amounts of fuel and throw out huge amounts of pollutants. Traffic accidents kill thousands and thousands of people each year and cripple more. Jams waste our precious time. Therefore I am against developing private cars.
