Question

为了缓解交通压力，减少废气排放，保护环境，9月22日我国108个城市参加了“无车日”活动。你们学校要举行以“Is ‘No Cars Day’ worthwhile?”为题的讨论会。请你就此用英语写一篇120—150词的短文，发表自己的看法。

Answer 1

    I think No Cars Day (No – car Day) is a good idea that will lead many others.

    As we know, with the development of the economy in our country, the number of private cars is increasing very quickly. In many cities at rush hour the roads are crowded with cars, causing traffic jams. What’s more, the car is one of the major problems resulting in global warming. So many European countries have already set the day, September 22^nd, No Cars Day.

In our country, about 108 cities participated in this campaign. Although a one – day campaign can hardly generate enough long – term influence to change people’s behavior, at the very least, it is start. If people are convinced they are contributing to a worthy cause, they will gradually change their behavior, and it is the goal of this campaign. So I think least this campaign can raise people’s awareness, encouraging more people to travel by bicycle or public transport.
