Wir haben über die Ferien die Aufgabe eine Erörterung/Composition zum Thema "Life without a car - an option for you?" zu schreiben.
Mein Problem ist das ich eigentlich finde das der Text gut klingt aber meine Lehrerin bei der Korrektur trotzdem immer wieder Fehler findet. Würde mich auch über Anregungen zum Text oder andere Ausdrucksweisen freuen. Sagt man "von A nach B" im Englischen?
Wäre toll, wenn jemand Zeit finden würde sich den Text einmal durchzulesen:
Vielen Dank schonmal...!!!Life without a car - an option for you?
Today there are over 44 million cars on the world. This is a hugh burden for the environment because of the CO2 emissions which injures our planet. Most of the people in Germany have a car and we are glad to have one. But could it be an option to live without a car although is usual for us to have an own car?
Cars are one of the main trigger for the greenhouse effect. Because of their CO2 emissions our climate is getting hotter and hotter, poles are melting and some species are becoming extinct. If the peoples would renounce their car and go by bus, train or bike we could help the earth a lot. Public Transportation is a great way to go and it saves much emissions. The greenhouse effect could be stopped if everyone would use busses and trains.
An other argument for living without a car is that a lot of money goes into a car. The petrol prices are rising higher and higher and the worlds petrol resources are at their end so the prices will not fall in the future. Furthermore a lot of money goes away for parking. Everywhere you want to park your car you must pay for it much money. And also if your car is broken you have to pay for expensive spare parts and repairs. If you want to drive a car you also need a drivers license which costs a lot of money too. Summarized we can say that a car costs a lot of money. For example a bus ticket costs only a few Euros per month and you don`t have to pay for petrol, repairs, parking space and so on. Going by bus, train or bike bike can save a lot of money.
If you are driving by car you must watch for the traffic, signs, traffic lights and pedestrians. When you drive you lose time because you must drive and can`t do anything else in this time. If you are going by bus or train you could do whatever you want to do like reading books or newspapers, making homework or write letters. You can use your close time better than by driving your car.
An argument for a car is that you always have to wait for a bus or train except you go by bike. Many busses only drive every hour so you have to plan everything with the schedules. Sometimes the bus comes to late or not at all especially at the wintertime when some busses and trains be canceled because of snow.
Also you need much more time to go from A to B because the busses and trains are slower than a car. Sometimes it takes twice as long as by car. If you live or work in a little village it could be possible that there is no bus or train station than you have to drive by car.
Finally we can say that it depends on your behavior and circumstances if you go by car or by public transportations. One possibility could be to drive by car to one of the “Park and Ride“ stations to park you car and go by bus or train to the city. It would be much better for the environment if more people would renounce their cars.
