最近几年,随着我国经济的快速发展,越来越多的人们拥有私家车。一些人认为应该禁止私家车,而一些人认为对其应该鼓励。就我看来,私家车有利有弊。
一方面,私家车给车主们提供了方便和舒适。如果你有了车,就不用搭乘公车或者挤地铁上班了。你可以想象在上下班高峰期公车上是多么的拥挤,速度是多么的慢。有了车,你就不必担心这个问题了。更棒的是,你随时可以开着你的车到任何地方去。开着私家车去旅游方便又灵活。你想停就停,不用担心其他乘客的感受。我想,这就是私家车最大的好处吧。
另一方面,私家车的缺点也显而易见。车子发出的噪音难以忍受,排出的尾气也对人的身体有害。不计其数的.车涌入街头,人们发现找位置停车比以前困难多了。更为糟糕的是,成千上万的人死于或者在**中受伤。
总的来说,私家车带给我们方便的同时,也带来了伤害。至于是不是要购买私家车,取决于个人情况。

如今,随着经济的发展,越来越多的人有能力为自己的孩子提供更好的教育。在他们眼里,出国留学比**教育好。因此,有很多人在他们孩子还很小的时候就送去留学了。他们认为他们所做的是为了孩子好。但我不同意他们的想法。年幼留学对孩子们不好。

首先,孩子们还没有足够的**能力去照顾自己。由于独生子女**的实行,大多数家庭只有一个孩子。他们是父母的掌上明珠。为了能让他们过得更好,大部分事情父母都会为他们办好。他们怎么能够***照顾自己呢?如果他们在这么小的年纪就出国,他们可以要承受很大的压力。如果是这样,他们如何能够潜心学习呢?因此,出国留学一点都不好。甚至对他们幼小的心灵会有不良影响。

此外,小孩的自律性一直都不是很好。没有多少人有良好的自律性,特别是在年幼的时候。当孩子出到**,他们再也没有父母的陪伴,提醒他们什么该做,什么不该做。他们很容易会被一些不良**所吸引。到那时候,没有人知道孩子们发生了什么事情。长久下去,这会对他们的生活造成影响。

总的来说,我不认为年幼留学有助于孩子们的健康成长。他们需要父母在身边。他们可以长大点后再去留学。
