我还没开始大作文的学习,整体结构和逻辑就不评论了,其他的班门弄斧一下。
Traffic congestion and air pollution are some (two) of (the) problems that emerging (grammar) from urbanization. People are involved in the heated debate over whether rising petrol price can address above problems. From my point of view, there are other measures far more effective than increasing petrol price to deal with relevant problems. (I prefer adding the before above and relevant, probably, here such is better than relevant)
It is understandable that economic incentives are easily and firstly adopted method(s) to tackle traffic and pollution problems, especially in big cities. Since cars become necessities to convey residence (residents) between different locations, such as schools, offices, supermarkets, and so forth (such as means etc, repeated here), simply rising petrol price would not add (not sure whether add is fine, preferably increase) considerable burden for common families (这里有问题?不会增加负担?是不是想说由于汽车是必需品,所以加价会增加普通家庭的负担?那后面还要说一句,resulting in less usage of private cars). The top priority, however, is the convenience of transportation, rather than (the increase of) petrol price (modified: the top priority is convenient transportation, rather than increasing petrol price, FYI), which occupy (grammar, preferably account for) a relectively (misspelling) small amount (not sure whether amount is OK, proportion is suitable) of daily spendings (this probably is not right). For this reason, the effectiveness of increasing petrol price is questionable.
It should be worth mentioning that some other ways of eliminating (don't use such word which makes a 100% result, use relieve or others) traffic congestion and mitigating air pollution are available. The foremost measurement (measure) is increasing government investments in (on) public transportation, such as trains, trams, (and) buses. With the productive public transportation network, people are more likely to reduce the use of private cars, thereby controlling the main source of air pollution in central areas. At the same time, the government should encourage people to adopt home office and mobile working, thus minimum (minimizing) unnecessary commuting. Also, scientists should make an effort to reduce car's fuel consumption (and emission) and promote this technology to the market (the latter is not the responsibility of scientists alone, and the former is a just a proposal, so cannot be promoted until it appears). If eco-friendly vechcles (misspelling) are available at a (grammar) affordable price, it is conceivable that people will show a preference to purchase (delete purchase) them.
In summary, boosting petrol price is an option among the solutions toward addressing traffic and pollution dilemma (something probably went wrong here), but it is not the most effective way. Other measures include introducing (not introduce, should be improve, etc.) public transportation, developing fuel-efficient cars and change (changing) people's life patterns. |
