cars and bicycles－小轿车与自行车 英语作文网收集整理 论文网 lunwen5.comcars and bicycles
cars and bicycles are similar in that they are both privately owned means of transport.
however, there are a lot of differences between them. a car costs a lot more to buy than a bicycle. in addition, it is far more epensive to run. for eample, a car has to be insured,
and must be served regularly; further more, spare parts for a car cost a lot of money. a car uses petrol which is epensive, where as a bicycle uses only human energy.
on the other hand, as far as comfort is concerned, a car is better than a bicycle. in a car you are protected from the weather, and have comfortable seats and plenty of room to carry people and luggage.
a car is not only more comfortable than a bicycle, it is faster as well.
with respect to convenience, it is difficult to say which one is better. a bicycle is certainly easier to park!
so it is difficult to make a choice. in my opinion, if you can afford it, youd better buy both a car and a bicycle. it will be very convenient.
[点评]
文章主要用对比的手法罗列了小轿车与自行车的不同之处，但却难说谁好谁坏。作者很会折中：若能买得起还是都买上。论述有条有理，结尾观点巧妙。

小轿车与自行车
小轿车和自行车相同的地方在于它们都是私人拥有的交通工具。
不过，它们也有许多不同之处。买一辆小轿车比买一辆自行车要贵得多，而使用它要花的钱则更多。比如，小轿车要上保险，还必须时常护理，加之，小轿车的零部件也相当费钱。小轿车要用昂贵的汽油，而自行车只用人的体力。
从另一方面来讲，就舒服程度而言，小轿车比自行车要好得多。在小轿车里，你可以躲避风吹日晒，你有舒适的座位，充足的地方载人带物。
小轿车不仅比自行车舒服，而且也快得多。
就方便来说，很难说哪个更好。当然自行车停放要容易些!
所以，很难做一选择。依我看，若能买得起，最好把小轿车和自行车都买上。这样会非常方便的。
