初中英语作文: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.

为什么中国大量使用自行车

   自行车是一种便利的交通工具，在中国一直很受欢迎。在交通高峰期，特别是在大城市，你会看到街道上一片自行车的海洋。人们可以骑自行车上班、上学、购物等等。总之，自行车在日常生活中发挥着重要的作用。
   和汽车相比，自行车有许多优点。首先，自行车不像汽车那么贵，每个家庭都买得起，也负担得起修理费。骑自行车是一种有益的锻炼方式，对身体有益。第三，自行车能够节省能源，不会造成污染。而汽车却会造成严重的空气污染，使得我们生活的地方的空气变得非常脏，许多人都患了肺癌。众所周知，中国人口众多。如果每个家庭都有一辆汽车，就会浪费掉大量的能源，而且空气污染会越来越严重。最后，大多数中国人居住的地方离上班、上学的地方不远，骑自行车很方便。我想这些就是自行车在中国大量使用的原因。
   自行车在中国如此受欢迎，因此中国被称做自行车王国。我希望能有越来越多的人骑自行车，从而使我们居住的星球变得更美好更清洁。
