106. What kind of transportation you would choose?

You need to travel from your home to a place 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. Compare the different kinds

of transportation you could use. Tell which method of travel you would choose. Give specific reasons for

your choice.

『分析』

[36]提供了option，但是不能选飞机(为了64公里的路而乘坐飞机有点ridiculous)。

比较“步行(on foot; walk)”“汽车(automobile; car)”“自行车(bicycle)”。

选择bicycle可能更容易写一些。

『范文』

If I need to travel to a place 40 miles away from my home, there are a number of different modes of

transport I could utilize, namely, I could take the bus, a car, or the train.

The bus is a good choice as the bus system in Beijing has been well-developed. It is possible for me to travel

almost anywhere within 40 miles of my house by bus. While on the bus, I can read a book, or relax, assuming it is

not too full. The problem with taking the bus, however, is that it is often crowded. It is often uncomfortable,

especially during hot summer days.

Taking a car is an excellent option, assuming one can afford a car. Cars are notoriously expensive in China,

and most people do not have this luxury. However, if it is available, a car is very convenient. You can travel to the

exact desired location in record time. A car, especially a personal car, is never crowded. You never have to share

space with anyone. However, one cannot relax while driving a car. There is no opportunity to just take in the sights,

or read a book. One must always be focused on the road.

The train, or the subway, is another option. If the location I am traveling to is on the subway line, then this

option is by far the best. While trains can be congested, they are the fastest method of traveling. Subway trains are

never subject to traffic jams, as they usually run underground. However, the subway system in Beijing does not go

everywhere that I need to. Often, if I take the subway, I then have to either walk for 20 minutes, or take a bus.

Overall, I think that the car is the best option, if it is available. The car is convenient and comfortable.

However, the bus and the train are both good options if a car is not available.
