　　【范文】 Improving Public Transportation

　　Good transportation is very important to the success of both individuals and a city. Without efficient means of transportation, people will waste a great deal of time going to and from work. This will make them tired and less productive in their jobs. People may rely on either private or public transportation to get them to and from work. If a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads for private vehicles or improving public transportation, I would choose the latter for the following reasons.

　　First of all, better public transportation systems, including buses, trains and subways, will encourage more people to use them rather than drive their own cars. This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for everyone. Second, using public transportation saves energy. A bus which carries 60 people is a far more efficient use of fuel than 60 individual cars driving the same route. And last but not least, greater use of public transportation causes less pollution and will keep the environment cleaner. There are many reasons to support spending money on public transportation. Good transportation systems make a city cleaner, more efficient and more convenient. This improves everyone’s quality of life and can make the city more prosperous. Therefore, I support spending money on public transportation systems rather than improving roads.

　　【譯文】

　　好的交通工具對于個人和整個城市的成功都非常重要。如果沒有有效率的交通工具，人們上下班會浪費很多時間。這會使人們疲倦，因而降低工作效率。人們上下班可以依賴私人或公共交通工具。如果要在花錢為私人車輛改善道路和花錢改善公共交通工具之間做選擇，我會選擇后者，原因如下。

　　首先，較好的公共交通系統，包括公共汽車、火車和地下鐵，會鼓勵更多人去乘坐而不會自己開車，如此便能減少道路上整體的交能流量，讓人們往來的速度更快。其次，使用公共交通工具可節省能源。一輛公車搭載60個人比60輛私人汽車行駛相同的路線更能充分、有效率地使用燃
