　　Should Private Cars Be Encouraged in China？

　　With the rapid development of economy in China， the number of people who own private cars is rising day after day. Quite different views exist as to this phenomenon.

　　There is no doubt that private cars have been playing an important part in the daily activities of our society. To start with， cars can save time for people when they go out. Second， cars can help parents take their children to school. Moreover， owning a car is a fashion and represents the high quality of life. Of course， others strongly object to developing private cars because automobiles have given rise to a series of problems， such as air pollution， traffic jams and energy consumption. Besides， it causes actual harm to the health of people.

　　In my opinion it is impractical to encourage private cars in China. I sincerely believe that private cars should be discouraged in China. At present， we should raise the price of gasoline to the prohibitive level to make car-driving expensive enough. All in all， the development of private cars should be restricted in China.
