Which kinds of people own cars in your country?
Up to a few years ago, only wealthy people owned cars
．
Only people like businessmen,
entrepreneurs, lawyers, surgeons, bankers and government officers had enough money to purchase
a vehicle. But nowadays, things have changed. First of all, people's salaries have gone up, while the
price of cars has decreased a bit. As a result, more people can afford a car, so a lot of middle-class
people buy one. I would say that compared with 10 years ago it's become quite common for families
to own an automobile.
2. What are the social costs and benefits of car use?
Well, the car industry definitely created and still creates a lot of jobs in China, and it has a
positive influence on the economy. However, the production of so many vehicles comes at a cost.
Cars have a negative impact on the environment. Cars emit a lot of pollution into the air, you know,
exhaust fumes and carbon monoxide especially. In addition, because the number of cars on the road
has sky-rocketed
（＝
increased rapidly) in the last few years in China, we have had problems with
traffic jams
．
At rush hour, every single morning and evening, roads are congested, and I think that
this problem affects almost everyone in our society, even people who take the bus. On top of this,
due to the crazy, messy traffic, more car accidents take place, and thousands of people die every
year on the road.
