The private car has greatly improved individual freedom of movement and has become a status symbol for many people. Yet the use of private cars has contributed to some of today's most serious problems. How can the use of private cars be reduced? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, private vehicles have become more common in society. It allows us to travel from one place to another conveniently,

also

show our financial position. At the same

time

, as we

use

them frequently, private

cars

have produced a lot of negative influences on our life and environment. The environment shows us a need to reduce its

use

to ensure our environment’s safety.

First

, for ourselves, we should

use

public transport if our destination is near our home. We should only

use

the private car when we are going far from our homes, or the location is not convenient. As there are fewer vehicles on the road, the number of traffic jams will

also

decrease. It benefits both ourselves and society. All of us can spend less

time

on the transport, and arrive at our location earlier.

Therefore

, using public transport as much as we can is the way to reduce the

use

of private

cars

. At the same

time

, we can benefit from it.

Second

,

fuel

sellers

can increase the price of

fuel

. It is essential to purchasing

fuel

if we are driving. So, the

fuel

’s price is one of the factors that we need to consider when running and buying a vehicle. If the fee of

fuel

increases, it means that the cost of driving increases. People will

therefore

think clearly if they need to ride. A portion of people will stop driving as it may be cheaper for them to

use

public transports. At the same

time

, the

fuel

sellers

can

also

encourage their customers to run their

cars

fewer. It will be convincing, as the

fuel

sellers

will have negative impacts if they decide not to buy

fuel

from them.

Although

it may decrease the revenues of the

fuel

sellers

, it can build up their brand reputation positively. The need for us to decrease the

use

of private

cars

is obvious. Our environment is damaged. If we do not try to solve it now, the consequences will be more serious. There are ways in front of us to change the situation. Let start together.
