也贴一片作文吧，又超时了一分多钟，还是思路的问题

Should people pay for public transportation?

 

This is an era of chaos. People come and go, claim for rights. It’s foolish to deny that equality has a very significance in our life. However, when people state that public transportation should be free for all people, I can hardly agree. Pay for public transportation benefits not only the people themselves, but the whole country.

 

To begin with, in order to maintain and develop the transportation system, it requires a large amount of money. As a public transportation, it provides convenience for nearly everyone. Students take bus to school, also the people who go to walk. Even the retired people may need it to go to the parks, or markets. Thus, the system would keep 100 thousands or even more buses to serve the public. The cost of repairing and renewing these vehicles is quite high. Not to mention the subways, trains and even the roads! If people would not pay for the public transportation, they finally had to bear the old, fragile, and out-dated ones.

 

Another reason I claim that people should pay for public transportation that it will also help to extend this service to the remote sides. Building new roads are such big projects that the government couldn’t handle it by itself. As my country declared, fees pay for the public transportation will be paid back. It will results in adding the vehicles, building new roads and also raising salaries of the staff. With the spread of roads, it will contribute much more to raise the equality because people who live far away from the cities now can also enjoy the pleasure of the service. What’s more, it’s also a desirable result that the increasing salaries will attract people to work in this field. Thus, it provides more staff to work on the surplus vehicles.

 

Some people criticize that the government does nothing about improving the public service, and just concerns about the money. What’s worse, the great money may lead to the corruption. However, it involves nothing about the necessities of paying for the public transportation, but the government inefficiency. If the government doesn’t change, all is in vain.

 

As the facts mentioned above, I suppose that paying for the public transportation is much more desirable.

几天没有练习打字,觉得速度已经下来了.所以还是决定每天打一会儿字.把我打字的内容贴上来吧.ISSUE中表达法变换的一些内容.我也从来都用不上，不过应该有些启发，人家的词汇用得并不复杂，但用得就是恰当.

表达法变换

1) The personal computer revolution happened and it has affected millions of lives. It has led us to places we had barely imagined. We are all beginning another great journey. We aren’t sure where this one will lead us either, but again I am sure this revolution will touch
                even more lives and take us all father…. The benefits and problems arising from this upcoming communications revolution will be much greater than those brought about by the PC revolution.

----Bill Gates

 

2) Indeed, as one imagine the underground world to become increasingly elaborate, one can visualize much of the food supply eventually deriving from hydroponic growth in artificially illuminated areas underground.  ----Issac Asimov

 

3) The principal of a great Philadelphia high school is driven to cry for help in combating the notion that it is undemocratic to run a special program of studies for outstanding boys and girls. Again, when a good independent school in Memphis recently closed, some thoughtful citizens urged that it be taken over by the public school system and used for boys and girls of high ability, that it have entrance requirements and given an advanced program of studies to superior students who were interested and able to take it. ------Seymour
            St. John: The Fifth Freedom

 

4) The press and television keep showing us the faults of the public figures, until we lose faith and start looking for defects in any person who seems worthy of respect. In a neighbor or a statesman, we try to discover the weaknesses or ugly motives that are surely hiding behind his noble actions. ----A Changing Scene

 

5) Retirement often brings many
                problems surrounding the “What do I do with myself today?” question, even though there may be no financial cares. Large numbers of
                people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don’t have their jobs to go to, and must fend for themselves. It has been observed that unemployment, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals deteriorate rapidly when jobless. -----Leonard R. Sayles

 

6) Is the sole aim of most Americans to make money and posses luxuries which would be called excessive? The majority of Americans would certainly deny this, though most feel proud to amass wealth and possessions through hard work. ---The American Character

 

7) What was it that enabled them to become great? Were they born with
                something special? Or did their greatness have more to do with timing, devotion and, perhaps, an uncompromising personality? …A never surrender attitude. If great achieves share anything, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. There is a tendency to think that they are endowed with
                something super-normal.

---Michael Ryan

 

8) As a child, Einstein became fascinated with the way magnets are drawn to metal. “He couldn’t stop thinking about this stuff”, Simonton pointed out. “He became obsessed with problems in physics by the time he was 16, and he never stopped working out them.” ---Michael Ryan

 

9) Hard work isn’t the whole story either. Some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. The students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of A Students.

---Edwin Kiester: Secrets of A Students

 

10) A typical example of this ability is the case of woman who claims that her intuition prevented each of her five children from serious misshapes. Another interesting illustration of this six sense involves the famous escape artist.

11) When parents urge their children to study hard and get good grades, the children know that the payoff will not be social acceptance by their schoolmates. The rewards are not consistent with values taught at home.

 

12) Beyond checking the report for clarity and accuracy in the presentation of the result, you should also review it for basic grammatical and mechanical accuracy.

 

13) This new civilization brings with it new family styles; changed ways of working, loving, and living; a new economy; new political conflicts; and beyond all this an altered consciousness as well.

 

14) The question of what is to be done to regulate and control exploitation of the seabeds is no longer a theoretical matter. It is a problem of international concern.

 

15) Foreigners who understand the degree to which Americans are imbued with the notion that the free, self-reliant individual is the ideal kind of human being will be able to understand many aspects of American behavior and thinking….Having one’s own bedroom, even as an infant, inculcates in a person the notion that she is entitled to a place of her own where she can be by herself.

 

16) Our great ignorance about the distant past also makes it difficult to identify great men. For example, no one knows who invented the wheel or discovered the productive use of fire. Little is known about the invention of writing and of numbers.

 

17) It provides a large portion of our food supply. It is a bounteous source of beauty in our homes, cities, rural landscapes, parks, campuses, gardens. It furnishes the setting for many recreational events.

 

18) Because of their intelligence and refusal to conform to society’s and intellectual values, many are deprived of a chance of learn
                adequate social skills and acquire
                good communication tools.

 

19) In the ‘80s, aerobics classes boomed, and exercises were urged to go for the burn. In the early ‘90s, exercise machines exploded in popularity, and it seemed essential to join a gym to shape up.

 

20) There was a constant reassuring tone that told them they would do well, very well. The children picked up these signals and reacted positively to them….They absorbed all the messages and performed accordingly.
