物品类热点题，新题(part 2&3)
• Describe a vehicle you would like to buy.
You should say
What (kind of) vehicle it is?
What it would look like?
Why you would like to have it?
And explain why you would prefer this means of transport.
Sample answer:
The vehicle that I love to buy is a lovely scooter. It’s faster than bicycle but slower than motor bikes, the power resource is electricity and you have to charge it when the battery is low. The speed of a scooter is ranged from 30 km/ h to 60 km/h, the faster one is more expensive than the slower one so be aware of what type of scooter you really want before you buy it. Well ,the scooter that I fancy is the kind of European style with a curve outline and two adorable rearview mirrors in the front cuz it reminds me of the movie “Roman Holiday” when Peck driving the scooter while Audrey Hepburn sitting on the back seat hold his waist. I love that kind romantic feeling especially with a girl on the back seat. Besides the adorable appearance and romantic atmosphere, there are more reason supporting me to buy a scooter, the major reason is that the traffic condition here in Shanghai is really not very exciting and if you are driving a car, the chance of being stuck in a gridlock is extremely huge. Under this circumstance, the best vehicle turned out to be the smaller and more flexible type, the motor bike is too dangerous, the bicycle is too slower and labor taking, so scooter came out and became the savior in this case. With the help of an agile and portable scooter, you could easily pass through the snail-paced traffic and outrun all of the other mega petrol-burning monster. What are you waiting for, let’s all go to the scooter store and pick up your beloved scooter, let the freeway become the real “free way”, you can make it happen, you can speed up while other are falling back!
• Should it be the responsibility of governments or of individuals to limit the number of cars that are in use?
I think the answer to this question is definitely a “YES”, given the fact that the air pollution and traffic condition here in China is extremely sad, it’s time to awaken the awareness of government and the public to do something to ease the above-mentioned problem, and the best solution to it is to limit the number of cars on the road especially in the rush hours. No matter it’s for government or individuals, to carry this great endeavor alone is too hard and powerless, so we are seeking a common ground and cooperation between them to joint efforts while tackling with this headache issue.
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of public and private transportation?
From my point of views, I think the merit and demerit of public transportation is that it’s costless but the time is uncontrollable cuz you need to waiting for a long time for a bus sometimes. As for the private transportation, the advantage and the disadvantage is that it’s convenient whenever you want it but the petrol and maintenance fee could be a burden for people
• What are the advantages to society of having more people using mass transportation?
The advantages to society of having more people using mass transportation like bus or subway is obvious. First, it will reduce the pressure on the road and enable the drivers to drive freely without spending a long time in the gridlock. Second, it could also save a huge expense of individual and maximize the utility of certain public transportation. Last but not the least, the versatile modern public transportations are also a symbol of the major metropolises in the world, the function of which if deaden, will surely cast a shadow on the overall development and culture preservation of those cities.
