Write your opinion about the topic below.

Topic: Should governments
spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments
spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, trains,
subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.

 I think governments should spend more money on improving public transportation. When I was a university students, I went to our university by a train and now I drive a car almost everyday. So I sometimes thought about the pros and the cons of both. Then, I think improving public transportation is better than improving roads and highways.

 First is regarding global warming. Public transportation such as buses and trains can bring many people at one time and it's really helpful for reducing gas emission. If many people started to use public transportation, gas emission would be reduced quickly.

 Second is regarding reducing deficit of Japanese and local government. Actually, our government spend a lot of money to built redundant roads even though Japanese deficit is getting bigger. If they stopped making roads and highways, they could reduce the expenditure dramatically.

 Of course, constructing roads and highways can stimulate economy but in the long term, our government should spend a lot of money to maintain them and it would harm citizen life.

 In Japan, new government is reducing constructing roads and highway to spend money for parents who have a child or children and I agree with this opinion. I think now is a great chance to rethink our way of living, especially transportation. Using public transportation to cut gas emission is a gift for our children in the future.
