Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury
of owning a private car
- if he or she
can afford it.
Having a car of your own
means no more traveling to work on crowded buses
or subway trains,
and you can drop off
the children at school on the way. Moreover, it
also means that you can enjoy
the
weekends and holidays better, because with a car
you can go to places where the regular buses
and trains do not go, and so you can
find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds.
However, there
are drawbacks to owning a car.
For one
thing, with the increase in car ownership
in recent years, the roads are becoming
more and more crowded, often making the journey to

more of a nightmare
than a
dream. For another, it is not
cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and
repairs are constantly
rising, not to
mention the prices you have to pay for a licence
and insurance coverage.
Having considered both sides of the
argument, I have come to the conclusion that the
advantages
of owning a car outweigh the
disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that
China should increase
its output of
automobiles and enlarge the private car market.
The result would be that cars would
become cheaper, while at the same time
the extra demand would encourage the auto industry
to
produce more efficient and family-
oriented vehicles.
爱情,婚姻与家庭
(Love,
Marriage and Family)
Love
is
an
essential
human
attribute, which
matures
as
individual
matures.
Marriage
is
a
natural and
extremely effective milieu for the development of
love. So the love between a man and
a
woman leads to a marriage. Marriage brings about a
family. The family provides a framework
for each family member to grow as a
person in love and security. So it is reasonable
to say that
marriage is a bridge of
love and family.
Love is the base of
marriage, and marriage is the development of love.
In the past, people
used to marry
without their own consent, that is, without their
own experience of love, the parents
arranged
the
marriage.
Two
persons,
a
man
and
a
woman,
who
were
entirely
strangers,
were
united in wedlock, and became husband
and wife. They had known nothing of each other
before,
and of course, love was a
sealed book to both. This type of marriage often
leads to unhappiness.
Tragic stories
about ill-matched couples were often heard. So
love is the foundation of marriage,
and
a
marriage
without
love
won’t
be
a
happy
one.
And
nowadays,
with
the
development
of
society,
love
becomes
more
noble,
rich,
fine
and
subtle.
Therefore,
love
is
sometimes
romantic;
the lovers don’t
pay too much attention to the trivial of daily
life. Some people fall in love at first
sight
and
rush
into
marriage.
They
usually
neglect
the commitment
a
marriage
demands.
They
may
come
across with some
problems
in
their
marriage
that
is
likely
to
end
up with
a
divorce.
This
seems
to
prove
that
love
in
a
marriage
is
not
so
romantic
as
one
often
imagines,
but
as
practical as mutual respect and
compromise in the common life of a family.
Family in this sense is the extension
of marriage. A
family based on a
marriage may last if
it
fulfills
the
function
of reproduction.
However,
nothing can
be
more
effective
for
a
family
to
fulfill
its
function
than
love.
Love
between
a
husband
and
a
wife,
love
between
parents
