Step 6 Sample writing appreciation
Nowadays, more and more families have private cars. These widely used cars bring advantages and disadvantages as well to our daily life.
There is no denying that private cars play an important role in our daily life as they bring people comfort and convenience and save much time. Moreover, private cars can promote the development of economy.
However, every coin has two sides, and we can’t ignore the fact that the waste gas piped by private cars pollutes the air, which is harmful to people’s health. What’s worse, more and more private cars may lead to more traffic jam and cause more traffic accidents.
From the comparison between these positive and negative effects of private cars, we should take it reasonably and do it according to the circumstances we are in. For example, measures should be taken to reduce the environmental problems the cars have brought. Only in this way can we enjoy a more wonderful life in a better environment tomorrow.
