Question

    On an online forum （论坛）, some students are having a discussion. They are talking about whether it is better to use bicycles or to drive cars in the city.

I believe that nowadays, it is better to use a bicycle. First, bicycles are safer. A person can't reach a high speed on a bicycle. Secondly, cars damage the environment. They produce a lot of harmful gases. People are building more and more roads. Wildlife habitats（栖息地）are being destroyed.

I don't agree with Matthew. Imagine you have a well-paid job and you choose to ride a bicycle to work. Your nice suit would become dirty and your hair would look messy（凌乱的）. You would not be able to meet your customers.

Nowadays, first impressions are everything. ·Just imagine what would happen if you came on a bicycle to sign a million dollar contract（合同）!

Try to ride a bicycle to work in the middle of February! Good luck getting home!

Today, we should ride a bicycle because there are many problems with cars. First, driving a car is bad for the environment. ·Secondly, there are a lot of traffic jams. People who drive often have to waste lots of time on these jams. In addition, bicycles are much cheaper than cars!

I prefer a bicycle. Riding a bicycle to and from school keeps me fit. I am now running a club to help prevent pollution. Get out of your car and get on a bicycle!
