The advantages and disadvantages of using public transport.

In this world more and more people have their cars. They do not need to take a bus.
There are three main advantages to taking a bus. In this essay, both the advantages and disadvantages of taking public transport will be described.

Public transport has many advantages for the environment .One advantage is that the environment will not be polluted. The more cars they drive, the more carbon dioxide they produce. As you know, now global warming is becoming a very serious problem. Secondly, the streets will not be so crowded, if they take public transport. It also reduces the number of car accidents. Many people die in car accidents everyday. They can save our world and their lives, when they catch a bus.

The main disadvantage of taking a bus is that it is convenient. They can not travel every where they want to go. It stops only a bus stop. If their destination is far away, they have to walk for a long time. They also have to catch the bus on time. Especially in the country side, they can get it only once an hour. The waste of time causes them using their own car.

Another point is that you have to spend time with people who you do not know. We have to worry about them. Moreover, buses are very crowded regularly. We have to put up with being very close to strangers. It’s terrible! They will fell stress when they take a bus.

Taking a bus has many advantages. However, you can get around by your own car freely. It’s more convenient to use your car than to take a bus.

I'm Takehisa Shimada. I'm a student of university and twenty years old. My major subject is English Education.
I live in Fukui which is in the centre part of Japan, but it's in the countryside. I live with my family: father, mother and two older brothers. My father works at a processing factory. My mother is a nurse. My oldest brother is a worker of a gas company, and he got married to his wife four years ago. They have a child who is two yaers old. He is lovely cute boy! My older brother works at a express bushiness and he is going to get married to his girl friend in a few years.
I like baseball very much and also I'm a good player. I have played baseball for twelve years. I was a captain in all grades. In my free time, I often watch DVD's or go to a movies and sometimes listen to music. I also like going shopping and eating tasty food. I eat foods until I feel full, but I can't get fat. It's a good thing.
I study English skills at The University of Waikato, Language Institue. In new Zealand. I would like to be an English teacher in Japan. I have to study harder and harder. I have had good experiences which I can teach to my student. I'll try my best.
