Maya: how do you usually get to school?
Anthony: I usually ride my bike. Which form of transport do you prefer to use?
M: I feel that I can see more when I pedal a bicycle, but when I feel lazy, I drive my car.
A: I think we should discourage people from using their private cars. They produce too much pollution!
M: I agree, but I would find it difficult to stop using my car. It's just so convenient.
A: cars might be convenient, but they're so bad for the environment.
M: do you have a car?
A: no. I used to have one though. Once I started using my bicycle to get around, I found that I didn't really need it.
M: maybe if I sold my car now, I wouldn't be so tempted to use it.
A: you could try. It would save you a lot of money.
M: that's true. Every month, I spend hunderds of dollars on gas, insurance, and repairs.
A: if you got to class by riding a bicycle every day instead of driving, you will get lots of exercise, too!
M: I could stand to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking anywhere!
A: let's go to a car dealership. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.
M: sounds good! Let's go!
你一般怎么去學(xué)校?
我一般都騎自行車(chē)去.你喜歡哪種交通工具?
我覺(jué)得蹬自行車(chē)的時(shí)候可以看更多的風(fēng)景,但是犯懶的時(shí)候我就開(kāi)車(chē).
我覺(jué)得我們應(yīng)該勸人們盡量少開(kāi)私家車(chē).汽車(chē)制造的污染太嚴(yán)重了!
我同意,不過(guò)我覺(jué)得不開(kāi)車(chē)很難做到.開(kāi)車(chē)實(shí)在是太方便了.
開(kāi)車(chē)可能是很方便,但是對(duì)環(huán)境的影響太惡劣了.
你有車(chē)嗎?
沒(méi)有.不過(guò),以前有過(guò).后來(lái)開(kāi)始騎自行車(chē)才發(fā)現(xiàn),其實(shí)我并不是特別需要汽車(chē).
沒(méi)準(zhǔn)我現(xiàn)在要是把我的汽車(chē)給賣(mài)了,也就不會(huì)非用它不可了.
你可以試試看.那樣還可以幫你省下一大筆錢(qián).
沒(méi)錯(cuò).我每個(gè)月都要付上百美元付那些汽油費(fèi),保險(xiǎn)和修理費(fèi).
如果你要是加入騎自行車(chē)的行列而不是開(kāi)車(chē),你還能得到很多鍛煉呢!
我應(yīng)該堅(jiān)持鍛煉減掉幾磅體重.有輛車(chē)都讓我變懶了.我現(xiàn)在去哪兒都不走路了.
咱們一起去汽車(chē)交易行吧.我會(huì)幫你把這輛車(chē)賣(mài)個(gè)好價(jià)錢(qián)的.
聽(tīng)起來(lái)真不錯(cuò)!走吧!
