Besidescongestion,accidents and fastfuel consumptionare responsible for agood part of airpollution in bigcities. All the time,they are pumpinghuge amounts ofwaste gases into theatmosphere. Thesegases are veryharmful, causingdisease and evendeath. Last winter,car fumes formedheavy smog overBeijing, making thesky gloomy forweeks anddeterioratingpeople's health.One possiblesolution is to designand develop cleancars and clean fuels.In TsinghuaUniversity, campusbuses are driven byelectricity. InBeijing some of thepublic buses beginto run on natural gas,which does not giveoff as much carbondioxide as the petrol.But it may takedecades for the newmodels of clean carsto completelyreplace thetraditional ones.Another solution isto develop modernpublic transportationsystems and restrictthe use of privatecars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the environments. This problem will be solved only with the help of science and technology.1.

Some peoplehave bought cars oftheir own, andothers are planningto buy cars. Butthere have been twoquite different viewson this phenomenon.Some claim thatthere are manyadvantages broughtabout by cars. First,the automobileindustry providesjobs for countlessworkers and strongsupport for otherindustries. Second,if conditions permit,owning a car canmake us work moreefficiently. Finally,life will becomemore convenient. Acar allows one tomove freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. Next, private cars contribute to traffic congestion so greatly that the advantages gainedin comfort andfreedom areoften cancelled outby the frustrationcaused by trafficjams. The lastproblem is theincreasing numberof car accidents thathave killed and willkill a lot of people ina friction of asecond.In my opinion,althoughautomobiles havebeen playing a vitalpart in the dailyactivities of oursociety, they alsobring us numeroustroubles such asmore seriousenvironmentalpollution, moretraffic accidents andmore energyconsumption.
