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 1 a bicycle, but when I feel lazy, I drive my car.


A: I think we should discourage 2 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 3.


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 4 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 5. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.


M: sounds good! Let's go!

你一般怎么去学校?

我一般都骑自行车去.你喜欢哪种交通工具?

我觉得蹬自行车的时候可以看更多的风景,但是犯懒的时候我就开车.

我觉得我们应该劝人们尽量少开私家车.汽车制造的污染太严重了!

我同意,不过我觉得不开车很难做到.开车实在是太方便了.

开车可能是很方便,但是对环境的影响太恶劣了.

你有车吗?

没有.不过,以前有过.后来开始骑自行车才发现,其实我并不是特别需要汽车.

没准我现在要是把我的汽车给卖了,也就不会非用它不可了.

你可以试试看.那样还可以帮你省下一大笔钱.

没错.我每个月都要付上百美元付那些汽油费,保险和修理费.

如果你要是加入骑自行车的行列而不是开车,你还能得到很多锻炼呢!

我应该坚持锻炼减掉几磅体重.有辆车都让我变懒了.我现在去哪儿都不走路了.

咱们一起去汽车交易行吧.我会帮你把这辆车卖个好价钱的.

听起来真不错!走吧!
