motorcycles and city traffic
nowadays, we can see more and more motorcycles on the
streets in big cities.
you never know what you can do till you try.
不试不知道，一试方知道。
some people ride motorcycles to go to work. others use them
like taxis as tra
nsportation tools. they make a living by carrying passengers
between short dista
nces. some people regard motorcycles as the symbol of the
quick improvement of
people’s living standards. but some people dislike them. i think the
motorcy
cle has both its advantages and disadvantages.
its advantages are, that first of all, it is not so expensive as a
car, bu
t it runs as fast as a car. second, since it can take people to
their destinatio
n along a narrow path or lane, people like to ride or take it. it
provides conve
nient service. furthermore, it occupies much less parking space
than a car. what
is more, traffic jam has no effect on motorcycles.
however, due to its high speed, a motorcycle is more likely to
cause a ser
ious traffic accident. the riders often run the risk of losing their
lives. comp
ared with taxis, they are more dangerous both to the riders and
the pedestrians.
besides, it produces loud noises and pollutes the air compared
with bikes.
in spite of its shortcomings, the motorcycle offers people
much convenienc
e. i think it has a bright future, and it will become popular as a
common transp
ortation means in cities in a few years.
