I think everyone has the right to enjoy a better life. The private car gives us a much greater degree of comfort and mobility in our life. With a car of our own, we can avoid going to work by crowded buses or subways. Moreover, having a car also means that we can enjoy the weekends and holidays better. With a car we can go wherever we like, even to places where the regular buses and trains do not reach. Therefore, owning a private car should be encouraged by our society.

每個人都有權利追求更高品質的生活。私家車給我們的生活帶來了更大程度的舒適性和靈活性。如果擁有屬于自己的車，我們就可以不必上班時去擠擁擠的公交車或者地鐵。而且，車可以使我

們的周末和假期過得更加愉快。你可以駕車去任何你喜歡的地方，尤其是那些不通公交車和火車的地方。因此，我們的社會應該鼓勵擁有私家車。
