答案 Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for Pollution? With the advancement of society, in recent yeans, numerous people have become increasingly wealthier than ever before and can afford a car, cheap or luxurious. This unexpectedly brings about countless visible as well as potential environmental problems, as can be seen in many cities of China, where the air is severely polluted and visibility is lowed by the heavy traffic. Some government agencies in some big cities conceive a good idea that private car owners should be taxed for pollution, of which I’m fully approval. One of the beliefs to tax the car owner is that private car purchasers, who tend to consume more resources in the coming days than the non-buyers, should shoulder more responsibilities for society. They consume a large portion of natural gas and oil when driving, contributing to an incredible emission of poisonous gas and threatening the balance of global ecology. Undoubtedly, the car owners cause heavy traffic, polluting the air unnoticeably. They occupy a lot of over-ground parking lots, contaminating the decreasingly fresh air. Naturally, they should be responsible and pay for all of these. Protecting the environment by taxing private car owners is another consideration. Admittedly, environment has been ruined with increasing car users. The taxation of car owners is believed to reduce the traffic jam by limiting the car use frequency, thus reducing the pollution. Another benefit from taxation is that fund can be raised to apply more revenue to environmental protection, such as encouraging more research and design of new-energy cars which do not consume natural gas or oil, building more under-ground parking lots which can minimize the emission of waste gas, so on and so forth. What gains can there be from taxing the private car owners for pollution? Surely, it is just like one stone to kill two birds. In another words, taxing private car owners can do a world of good to the natural surroundings in the long run.
解析     从题目上看，这篇作文非常贴近生活，属于社会的热点话题一是否应该对私家车征收环境污染费。体裁类型还是传统的议论文。
    本范文首先指出，人们比以往都富裕有钱，买的起车，但却导致许多看得见的和看不见的环境问题，比如中国的许多城市都受到汽车过多带来的严重污染。因此一些政府机构想出了私家车主缴纳污染费这样一个好主意，并表明自己赞同此观点的态度。
    接下来则详细阐述和论证为何应该让私家车主缴纳污梨费的多个理由，如他们比一般人消耗更多的资源，开车时消耗大量的天然气和石油，排放许多有害气体，威胁全球气候的平衡，带来交通堵塞，占据许多地面停车场，因此自然地应该承担责任，赔偿这一切；此外，通过征税，可以限制车子的使用频率，从而减少交通堵塞，减少污染，而且征税的资金，可以用于保护环境的各项措施，如研发新能源汽车，建造地下停车场，限制废气的污染范围等等。
    范文最后指出，征收私家车主的污染税是一石二鸟的做法，并简单总结以上观点。
