Advantages and disadvantages of private cars. 小汽车的利与弊。
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 contr123te 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 123rgy
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.
