2. 启 One of the controversial issues today is whether we should encourage private cars or public transportation. Though some people believe the quick development of private cars is the symbol of the prosperous economy, in this essay, I will argue priorities should be given to the development of public transportation.

3. 承1承1承1承1 One reason for this is that China is a country with the largest population in the world. If only 10 % of its population possess a car, this will make the roads overcrowded and congested while giving priorities to the development of public transportation will not only help ease the traffic jams, but also improve the living environment.

5. 承3承3承3承3 The most important reason for my argument is that public transportation system can carry more passengers, which fits the situation in the country where what we need is not more cars but cars with more people.
