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?

我一般都騎自行車去.你喜歡哪種交通工具?

我覺得蹬自行車的時(shí)候可以看更多的風(fēng)景,但是犯懶的時(shí)候我就開車.

我覺得我們應(yīng)該勸人們盡量少開私家車.汽車制造的污染太嚴(yán)重了!

我同意,不過(guò)我覺得不開車很難做到.開車實(shí)在是太方便了.

開車可能是很方便,但是對(duì)環(huán)境的影響太惡劣了.

你有車嗎?

沒(méi)有.不過(guò),以前有過(guò).后來(lái)開始騎自行車才發(fā)現(xiàn),其實(shí)我并不是特別需要汽車.

沒(méi)準(zhǔn)我現(xiàn)在要是把我的汽車給賣了,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.

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的行列而不是開車,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.

咱們一起去汽車交易行吧.我會(huì)幫你把這輛車賣個(gè)好價(jià)錢的.

聽起來(lái)真不錯(cuò)!走吧!
