答案 Improving Roads or Improving Public Transportation? Roads and public transportation are both important in the public life. However, if a choice has to be made between spending money on improving the roads or improving public transportation, I would choose the--latter because it has some advantages over the former. Since most people in China do not have private vehicles, good public transportation, buses, trains and subways, is very important for 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. Good public transportation will encourage more people to use it rather than drive private cars. This will reduce the total amount of traffic on the roads and make travel quicker for every one. Good transportation saves energy and reduces pollution. A bus which carries 60 people is a far more efficient use of energy and less emission of waste gases than 60 individual cars driving on the same route. In one word, good public transportation makes a city cleaner, more efficient and more convenient. I think the above reasons are sufficient to prove that public transportation is worthy of every penny spent on it.
解析 这是一篇关于交通的对比选择型论说文，主要要求在投资修路还是投资改善公共交通工具二者择一并说明理由。无论选择哪种，都应该理由充分，所以重点不在于选择，而在于将理由说清楚。如果选择改善道路，理由可以是“要致富，先修路”；还可以从反面说路况不好，车辆的行驶速度和舒适感就会降低；还有，路况不好容易产生交通事故。如果选择改善公共交通工具，理由可以是，多数人都要利用公共交通工具，改善了它们，也就改善了多数人的生活质量；还可以从能源的利用和环境保护方面去谈；也可以谈它们给人们出行带来便利等等。
