參考范文：

With the development of economy and technology, private cars are affordable to more families. So the debate of the cars contribution to individuals and the disadvantages of cars to environment is also presented.

I believe the benefits the cars brought to us is more than the harm they make to the environment. Although we can’t deny that cars actually indeed made some air pollutions (due to the greenhouse emission) and maybe also some noise pollution. We can’t ignore the value of the cars in our daily life. The reasons are listed below.

First of all, with private cars, people enjoy more flexible going –out schedule, we don’t need to passively rely on the public transportation. For example, we can determine the time to set out to work every morning without concerning the public bus time.

Additionally, cars also bring us more enjoyment and flexibility to our life. We can plan a longer distanced car trip with private cars since many worth visiting places have poor public transportation access.

Last but not least, cars assists us to take more care of our families. When you have children or elderly people, concerning the safety and comfort issue, it is better to drive them by private cars since the public buses are always crowed and chaotic. The further example is when our family members have emergencies to hospital, we don’t need to wait the taxi or the ambulance, and we can drive them to hospital immediately for in time treatment.

All in all, having private cars is very important to individuals in terms of the conveniences, enjoyments and flexibility the cars brought to us. Compare to those benefits, I think the environment issue the cars made can be neglected.
