范文
With the living standards rising rapidly, more and more Beijing residents have cars of their own. Statistics show that in Beijing alone, there are 2500,000 cars, among which private cars add up to(=number) 1700,000. The increase in the number of cars brings about a lot of gydjdsj.org.cn problems, such as air pollution, noise, traffic congestion and gas shortage. Then a controversy arises: whether private cars should be encouraged in Beijing? People differ in their opinions on it.
Many residents are against owning cars. According to them, private cars have to be limited in Beijing. The reasons for it are obvious. To begin with, cars contribute to air pollution. Beijing is now plagued by serious air pollution. If people are to have cars of their own, the already contaminated atmosphere will get even dirtier. Secondly, private cars can be a terrible threat to the already gydjdsj.org.cn heavy traffic in the city. If more cars are allowed onto busy streets, there will be more traffic jams, which is really a public hazard to all of us. Finally, cars consume a large amount of fuel. Though China is rich in its oil resources, they are running out rapidly. All these facts allow of only one solution: to limit the ever growing number of cars.
In my opinion, private cars should be discouraged in Beijing. In order to leave clean air, wide and safe roads and abundant energy resources to our descendants, we have to say "No" to private cars. As far as the great demand for means of transport is concerned, we can develop mass transit to take the place of private cars. In short, Beijing does not need private cars.
參考作文地帶譯文：
隨著生活水平的迅速提高，越來越多的北京居民擁有自己的汽車。統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字表明，北京有250萬輛汽車，其中私家車達(dá)到170萬輛。汽車數(shù)量的增加產(chǎn)生了一系列問題，如空氣污染、噪音、交通堵塞和汽油短缺。這樣就引起了一場爭論：北京是否應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)私家車?人們對(duì)這個(gè)問題有不同的想法。
許多人反對(duì)擁有汽車。在他們看來，北京必須限制私家車。原因很明顯。首先，汽車加劇了空氣污染。北京的空氣嚴(yán)重污染。如果人們都要擁有私家車醫(yī)學(xué)全在,線gydjdsj.org.cn，已經(jīng)污染的大氣將變得更臟。其次，私家車可能對(duì)北京業(yè)已擁擠的交通狀況是一個(gè)可怕的威脅。如果更多的汽車開上繁華的街道，交通堵塞將會(huì)更嚴(yán)重。這對(duì)我們大家來說確是公害。最后，汽車消耗大量燃料。雖然中國擁有豐富的石油資源，但是它們正在日趨減少。所有這些事實(shí)只能有一種解決辦法：限止日益增長的汽車數(shù)量。
我的看法是北京不應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)私家車。為把清潔的空氣、寬闊安全的道路和富饒的石油資源留給子孫后代，我們對(duì)私家車只能說"不"。至于對(duì)交通工具的巨大需求，我們可以發(fā)展公交系統(tǒng)來代替私家車�？偠灾�，北京不需要私家車。
