范文与解析
[1]The private motor vehicle has given people a freedom to travel freely, swiftly and comfortably in the world. [2]However, the car has also brought serious problems while improving people's life. [3]They pollute the air and cause road congestion. [4]And many people are injured or killed in the road accidents every year. [5]Therefore, it is high time that the use of private motor vehicles was reduced.
[6]There are mainly two ways to reduce the use of private cars. [7]First, we should develop efficient public transport systems to help reduce dependence on private cars. [8]Many people prefer to drive their cars to work because they think cars are quicker and more convenient. [9]If the quality and availability of public transport could be improved and the fare is reasonable, surely quite a lot of people will turn to buses, trains or subways. Second, the government should try to encourage people to walk or ride a bicycle to travel short distances. [10]Meanwhile, cars need to be banned in some parts of the city to ensure the safety of the foot passengers.
[11]I believe with quick, safe and easy access to their destinations many people may turn to public transport and give up the idea of using their own cars.
[1] freely，swiftly，comfortably三词并列，这是常用的修辞方式，也是本文的亮点。
[2] 用转折词However将话锋一转，指出虽然私家车改善了人们的生活，但同时也带来了诸多严重的问题。
[3][4] 说明问题的严重性。
[5] 用it is high time that…句型说明解决问题的必要性。
[6] 提出两三条合理建议即可，切勿罗列太多条。
[7] 用形容词efficient使表达更准确。
[8] prefer to是语言亮点。
[9] 使用buses，trains，subways来表达public transport，避免了重复。
