Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think it has changed people’s lives. (1) automobiles (2) bicycles (3) airplanes Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 汽车: 1.旅游更加舒适 2.促进城市建设 3.环境污染 As the years go by, more and more vehicles were invented by human, which arouses a question,”which transportation vehicle has changed people’s lives most?” many people declare that airplane has changed lives most, for it is faster and allow people fly in the sky. However, others hold the opinion towards the controversy; they believe it is automobile. I argue for the latter viewpoint, as I deem that automobile is more influencing than airplane. I would like to explain it in my following article.
Firstly, I want to talk about its benefits. The merits of automobile are numberless as the sand. To begin with, please allow me to state a truth. Last time, my brother and I drove our car from Beijing to hangzhou, and the distance is about 1000 miles. We drove it across many counties and villages. It’s impressing because every time when we arrived a new county or village, we stayed there for 2 days, visited the people there , talked with them, enjoyed the special food there and viewed beautiful places. What does this mean? We can utilize the car to make our journey convenient, funny and comfortable. I really can’t imagine what would happen if we rode our bicycles? Maybe one year is a must to do the same thing. In a word, automobile changes our lives because of its convenience.
Furthermore, the development of automobile promotes city planning. It is obviously that more roads are constructed to satisfy the development of automobile. As the automobile is cheaper than before, more people own at least a car, which spurs automobile manufacturers to accelerate the speed of products. Recently, I noticed some pictures which showed the situation of Beijing in 1988 and it’s amazing that the old city changed so much. I have to say it is the feat of automobile. Somebody would ask, “isn’t it too congested in many cities if there are so many cars?” actually, under the control of government, it will never be too congested in any city. Anyway, automobile changes people’s lives because of the feat in city planning.
The last point I want to say is the harm to people. As we all know, automobiles cause the pollution, especially the environment pollution. Automobiles produce exhausted gas which is quite harmful to people’s lives, because many diseases such as cancers are caused by such gas. Also automobiles produce too much noise which affects our hearing function and our normal life. Imagining if when people are sleeping in the evening, suddenly a big automobile shouts loudly, I bet that it will drive some people crazy. So I am sure automobile affects people not only on the good side, but also on the bad one.
In conclusion, I persevere that automobile has changed people’s lives most, in spite of the benefits or losses. And also I agree with the opinion that we should notice the bad effects caused by automobiles. So if we invest more efforts on protecting the environment, we will own a beautiful Earth, our homestead. |
