关于道路安全的雅思作文范文

　　The only way to improve the safety on the roads is to give much stricter punishments for driving offences. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　改善公路安全的罕有的办法是更严厉的惩罚违规行为。在多大程度上你同意或反对此观点呢？

　　Traffic has taken the place of cancer and become the main factor in causing death. How to solve this problem is a big headache of government. The usual way is to give strict punishment for driving offence.Personally I think it is one solution, but in no way the only one.

　　First, we have to admit that, apart from subjective factors, there are objective factors deteriorating road safety. For example, in some third world countries traffic systems are not so developed: roads are narrow and rough. All these make driving extremely difficult and thus increase the unsafe factors in traffic. Or in big metropolitan cities, as the number of traffic vehicles is roaring up recently, the development of road system seems rather slow relatively. It is common to be trapped in traffic jams. When people have to hurry to work, driving offence is unavoidable.

　　Second, just as the proverb goes, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. It is better to prevent driving offence than to give strict punishment for it. There should be more effective measures. For example, the driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is. All drivers shouldtake the test every three years. The age at which people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21. All advertising stressing power and performance of cars should be banned. The government should distribute more capital in improving the road condition. We should strengthen the people's education of the sense of road safety.

　　Strict punishment is a neither only nor good way to improve the safety on the roads. Only in the condition that other solutions cannot be exercised should punishment be chosen.

　　深圳资深老师解析：辩论型题目，使用的是一边倒结构。

　　交通已经取代癌症成为了导致死亡的主要因素。怎样解决这个问题也令政府十分头疼。通常的做法是给予交通肇事者严厉的处罚。我个人认为这是一个解决办法，但绝不是罕有的的。

　　首先，我们必须承认，除去主观因素，还有一些客观因素也在恶化道路安全。例如，在一些第三世界国家交通系统并不是很发达：道路粗糙又狭窄。这些因素使驾驶变得非常困难，从而给交通增加了不安全因素。而在一些大城市，当近交通车辆的数量急剧增加时，道路交通系统的发展就相对比较缓慢了。陷入交通拥堵中是很普遍的事情。当人们急着去上班时，违规驾驶是不可避免的。

　　其次，正像谚语所说的，“防患于未然”。预防违规驾驶要比给予严厉惩罚好。我们应该找到更为有效的措施，例如，驾驶考试应该规范化并且增加难度。所有的司机都应该每三年测试一次。允许驾驶任何车辆的年龄应至少提高到21岁。所有大张旗鼓表现汽车的广告都应该禁止。政府应该投入更多资金来改善道路状况。我们应该加强人们的交通安全意识教育。

　　严厉的惩罚并不好也不是罕有的的办法来改善道路交通安全。只有在其他方法都不能实施的情况下才应选择惩罚。
