Should cars be banned (禁止) in cities
How do you travel around your town or city Some people walk, ride a bike or use public (公共) transportation. But most people get by car. This might be convenient (方便的), but having too cars on the road brings problems; It brings heavy traffic and the air. So should cars be banned in cities
Andres Gonzalez, 11
I cities should be car-free because air pollution is harmful to the Earth. Driving keeps us from and makes us lazy. Some people overuse cars. They drive or take car like DiDi to places near home. In fact, we can use different ways of transportation, as bicycles and buses.
Juliet Simon, 10
Cars should not be banned in cities. You can't make a big city stop using cars. That would make people want to use them more. There are better ways to save the Earth. I believe that we should limit (限制) people's use of cars. We should use the public transportation. Solar power (太阳能) can play a big in the future of public transportation. And car can make eco-friendly (生态友好的) cars.
