With the rapid development of economy in China, more and more people own their private cars. Different people have different opinions. Some people think that too many private cars may cause more traffic jams and pollute the air, while others believe that people should be encouraged to have private cars. As far as I am concerned, I think private cars have more advantages than disadvantages.

随着中国经济的快速发展，越来越多的人们拥有私家车。不同人持不同的意见，有人认为过多的私家车会加重交通拥堵，污染环境；另一些人则认为应该多鼓励人们去购买私家车。就我看来，我认为私家车利大于弊。

First of all, private cars offer people convenience. With your car, you can go to any place at any time. You just don’t have to wait for the bus or taxi. Unlike bus is always full of people and taxi is expensive, private cars is less crowned¹ and more flexible. During the rush hour, you don’t need to worry could not get in a bus or waste too many money on taxi.

首先，私家车给人们带来了便利。有了车，你可以在任何时间去任何地方。不必等公车或是出租车。不像公交车总是人满为患，的士贵得离谱，私家车更舒适也更灵活。在拥堵时段，你不必担心自己挤不上公交车或者花费过多的钱来搭出租车。

Second, traveling by cars is very comfortable. During the Spring Festival, the going-back home tickets are very difficult to get. But if you have a private car, you can go home immediately without worrying there is no ticket any more. What’s more, the private cars reduce the pressure of the public transportation² during the rush hours. When you driving in your own car, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. I guess it’s the greatest advantage of the private car.

其次，开私家车去旅游非常舒适。在春节期间，回家的票总是特别难买。可如果你有了自己的车，你就可以马上回家不用担心买不到票了。更好的是，私家车缓解了高峰期的交通压力。当你开着自己的车，你会感觉更舒服也更放松。我想，这就是私家车最好的地方。

Last but not least, the producing of cars triggers³ the industries of steel and glass production. It provides people lots of job opportunities. And it makes great contribution to the growth of GDP.

最重要的一点是，生产私家车带动了钢铁和玻璃的生产行业。它给人们提供了就业岗位。对GDP的增长做出了很大的贡献。

In conclusion, I think owning a car has more advantages than disadvantages. If you can afford one, then you should have it.

总的来说，我认为私家车利大于弊。如果你能买得起，那就去买一辆吧。
