Give specific reasons for your : choice. : ========================================================== : There are plenty ways for me to travel from my home to a place 40 miles ^of : away. In nowadays, the transportation is much easier than before, so 40 miles xx Nowadays, xxx : would just take a while. It depends on the cost I could afford for that ^^^^^^^"a short while" or "a little while" ("a while" is ambiguous) : situation. In my opinion, the best way is using the high speed rail way. : First, though the high speed rail way is really fast, it is nothing : compare to the airplane. Airplane is the fastest transportation, and along : with it is its highest price. However, there are many defects if you take disadvantages? : the airplane to get there. In the airport, because of the highly required : security exam precedure to go through the each bag and person, there would be : an extra time waste. Also, if the airport wasn’t near to my house or the xx : destination, it might take more time to get a connection transportation to be xxxxxxxxxxxxxx : there. Therefore, taking airplane would be a bad choice. High speed rail way ^the : unlike the airplane, don’t need to do such complex security check, and the ^, doesn't xxxxx ^a xxx : number of stop is more, and the most important, much cheaper. most importantly, it is much cheaper. : Secondly, compare to the original rail way, the high speed rail way is ^^^^^^^^("traditional" is probably better) : faster. It could save me more time, and don’t have to tolerate the number of ^I : stop that original train have. Even if there is no stop at destination in high : speed rail way, the connection transportation from high speed rail wail to the : original rail way is very convenient. They have set the connection bus from the : stop of high speed rail way to the nearest train station, so the number of the : station of high speed rail way won’t be a problem. : Not to mention, using high speed rail way such kind of mass rapid using mass transportation such as the high speed : transportation is less harm to the environment. Recently, the environment railway causes xxx : protection become a most important issue in the world becaus of the global has become : warming, and every countries are contributing by trying their best to reduce every country is ("every" is always singular) : the expenditure of carbon dioxide, so using the car or motorcycle is a bad ^^^^^^^^^^^ *Expenditure means either "spending money" or "consumption." The word you're looking for is probably "emission". : choice under the consideration of the environmental protection. : In conclusion, compare and analyze the disadvantage of other way of comparing and analyzing ways : transportation, because of its convenience, speed, and the environmental and considering its... : protection issue, thus, I think that high speed rail way is the best choice to xxxxxx : go for a 40 mile travel. -- 一個 學術英文寫作 領域的討論板 在 PTT （telnet:ptt.cc〉 【 分組討論區 】 --> 11 國家研究院 政治, 文學, 學術 --> 科學學術研究院 --> 學術總合研究中心 --> ★ST-English PTT 學術英文/論文寫作班 --
