In many countries, teenagers under 18 years old can drive cars. Here arises the question: Is it the best way to improve road safety by raising the legal driving age? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and then give your view on the issue.

Yes:
Teenage drivers are more likely to have collisions on the road, compared with drivers in other age groups. That is because young drivers, especially those who are in adolescence, tend to overestimate their driving skills and underestimate the dangers on the road.
Teenagers at 16 or 17 years old are usually impulsive. As such, they are easier to be distracted while driving a car, which may result in serious accidents. Therefore, there would be fewer accidents if the legal age for driving is raised to 18 years old.
Again, teenagers are reckless drivers since they often drive at a high speed and it is quite common for them to carry on competition on the highway.
No:
Firstly, in order to improve road safety, the government can set higher standards for testing a driver’s ability and prolong the training time, since better prepared drivers and riders can reduce the number of accidents. It is not necessary to raise the age limit for driving.
Besides, a right attitude plays a vital role in ensuring road safety. For instance, eating, drinking or talking on the phone while driving should be prohibited as these activities might distract drivers’ attention and cause unexpected consequences.
Finally, for those unqualified drivers who have serious crash records, punishment is a must.

答案
The Best Way to Improve Road Safety There is no denying that raising the legal age for driving is an effective way to improve road safety, since teenage drivers tend to be more impetuous and are easily distracted. However, some people argue that it is not the best way to reduce traffic accidents and there are many more important measures that should be implemented, such as improving drivers’ safety awareness and enhancing the difficulty of getting a driving license. From my perspective, I agree with the latter opinion that there are more feasible methods to ensure road safety. In the first place, the authorities should launch a wide-ranging crackdown on dangerous driving and impose stiff penalties on drunk driving. In the second place, stringent regulations should also be enacted to prevent drivers from jumping a red light and speeding, both of which are the major causes of car accidents. Last but not least, people should pay more attention to fatigue driving because tiredness at the wheel can kill people as well. In short, driving a vehicle is a huge responsibility that must be taken seriously. Besides raising the legal age for driving, the government should enforce tougher laws and exercise stricter supervision to decrease traffic injuries.
解析
本题讨论的是提高法定最低驾龄是否是加强道路安全最有效的办法。在具体行文时,考生首先要概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点:有其他更可行的方法,比如提高司机的安全意识以及提高驾照考试的难度。最后总结全文。
开头部分阐述背景并概述正反双方的观点。正方观点:提高法定最低驾龄是加强道路安全最有效的办法,因为青少年驾车时往往更鲁莽,更容易分心。反方观点:提高法定最低驾龄并非加强道路安全的最好办法,还可以采用其他更有效的措施,比如提高司机的安全意识以及提高驾照考试的难度。
中间部分通过“From my perspective…”阐述自己的观点:虽然提高法定最低驾龄能够增强道路安全性,但还可以采取其他更加可行的方法。并分别使用“In the first place…”“In the second place…”和“Last but not least…”阐述理由:相关部门应该全面打击危险驾驶及酒后驾车,颁布严格的法规禁止司机闯红灯和超速驾车,人们应多加关注疲劳驾驶。
结尾部分通过“In short…”总结全文,指出除了提高法定最低驾驶年龄外,政府还应颁布更严厉的法规,实行更严格的监管。
