With the rapid development of Chinese economic and the improvement of living standards of ordinary people, more and more private cars are on road. Some people think private cars can bring great convenience to the owners while others argue that government should put a limit on private cars. In my humble opinion, we should put a limit on private cars.
随着中国经济的快速增长和普通人民生活水平的提高，人们拥有了越来越多的私家车。一些人认为私家车给车主提供了极大的便利，其他人则认为政府应该限制私家车的数量。在我看来，我们应该限制私家车。
First of all, the more private cars, the more traffic jams. If people stuck on a traffic jam, it will cost them a lot of time, some people even late for work. What’s more, nowadays finding a parking spot is much harder than before because there are too many cars on streets. Sometimes you just arrive at the destination, but you just cannot find a place to park your car. The place is so crowded that you have to park in other place which may be far away from your destination.
首先，私家车越多，交通越拥堵。如果人们被堵住了，就会浪费掉很多时间。一些人甚至上班迟到。更糟糕的是，现如今要找个停车位比之前难了很多，因为有太多的私家车。有时候你开车到了目的地，却找不到一个合适的停车位，你不得不停到一个离目的地较远的地方。
Secondly, the price of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the prices for the insurance and the fear of being stolen. If you do not make enough money, you can barely pay for the fees of the cars. This can cause great burden to your daily life.
其次，汽油和维护的费用经常上涨，更不用说保险费和担心车子被偷的风险了。如果你赚的钱不够多，你很难维持车子所需的费用。这可能会对你的生活造成负担。
Last but not least, the cars produce tens of thousands of carbon dioxide, which will create greenhouse effect and other serious environmental pollution. Some environmentalists predict that in the next few years, the ozone layer will fully disappear and will increase the rate of getting skin cancer. And the air we breathe in is not as pure as before, do we really need to sacrifice our future to enjoy the so called convenience?
最后，汽车会排放成千上万顿的二氧化碳。这会造成温室效应和其他更为严重的环境污染。有些环境学家预测在未来几年内，臭氧层将会全部消失，并导致人们得皮肤癌的几率增加。我们吸入的空气也不像之前那么纯净，我们真的要牺牲未来去享受所谓的“方便”么？
Due to these reason, I think people should think twice before they buy a private car. We should not only consider the increasing cost of owning a car, but also should think about the future we have. It’s not only a personal thing, but also the whole country, the whole world.
通过这些原因，我认为人们在买私家车之前理应三思。我们不应该只考虑养车的费用，还有我们所拥有的未来。这不仅仅是个人问题，也是我们国家、全世界的问题。
