Some people think that the best way to reduce the time spent in travelling to work is to replace parks and gardens close to the city center with apartment buildings for commuters. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays,

spending on commute has been increased from past years. While there are some arguments in replacing the park and garden in the

centre with apartment buildings, I totally disagree with

opinion and the commute

can be deducted in several ways. On the one hand,

city

parks

and gardens play a vital role in both the environment and urban culture. It's doubtless that afforestation can improve the living condition and provide a relaxing spot for all the residents living around. Without the

parks

, workers may feel depressed when they can only see the "concrete jungles". Meanwhile,

can be the landmark of the

For instance

who

On the other hand

, I think there are other ways to tackle the problem.

First

can

work

could save tons of commute

Secondly

, government and train operating companies can set more express lines for

. It can hugely cut down the travelling

by stopping in fewer stops.

Thirdly

, companies can move away from the

this

way, it would not only benefit the local economy and provide employment, but

also
