初中英語作文:Why Are Bicycles So Commonly Used in China

Why Are Bicycles So Commonly Used in China

   Bicycle is a convinient means of transporation. It has been very popular in China. During the rush hours, particularly in big cities, you can often see a sea of bicycle riders in the streets. People can ride bicycles to their working places, to schools, to shopping centers and so on. In a word, bicycles play an important role in daily life.
   Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. Firstly, they are not so expensive as cars and almost every family can afford to buy and repair them. Secondly, riding bicycle is a healthy form of exercise. They do good to our health. Thirdly, bicycles can save energy and does not cause any pollution, while cars will cause serious air pollution, which makes the air in our living place very dirty and makes a lot of people suffer from lung cancer. As we  all know, China is a country with a large population. Ifeach family has a car, a large amount of energy would be wasted and air pollution would become more and more serious. Finally, most Chinese people don’ t live far away from where they work or study, it is convenient to ride bicycles. I think that is why bicycles are used so much.
   Bicycles are so popular in China that China is often referred to as the kingdom of bicycles. I hope more and more people can ride bicycles in order to make our planet better and cleaner.

為什么中國大量使用自行車

   自行車是一種便利的交通工具，在中國一直很受歡迎。在交通高峰期，特別是在大城市，你會看到街道上一片自行車的海洋。人們可以騎自行車上班、上學、購物等等。總之，自行車在日常生活中發(fā)揮著重要的作用。
   和汽車相比，自行車有許多優(yōu)點。首先，自行車不像汽車那么貴，每個家庭都買得起，也負擔得起修理費。騎自行車是一種有益的鍛煉方式，對身體有益。第三，自行車能夠節(jié)省能源，不會造成污染。而汽車卻會造成嚴重的空氣污染，使得我們生活的地方的空氣變得非常臟，許多人都患了肺癌。眾所周知，中國人口眾多。如果每個家庭都有一輛汽車，就會浪費掉大量的能源，而且空氣污染會越來越嚴重。最后，大多數(shù)中國人居住的地方離上班、上學的地方不遠，騎自行車很方便。我想這些就是自行車在中國大量使用的原因。
   自行車在中國如此受歡迎，因此中國被稱做自行車王國。我希望能有越來越多的人騎自行車，從而使我們居住的星球變得更美好更清潔。
