小宇哥的CS學習筆記

Ann: I guess I don't need a lot of storage space most of the time. But cars also offer more shelter from the rain and other bad weather than scooters do.

Tim: Yeah, it's nice to not have to worry about rain, and air conditioning is a real advantage in the summer.  But cars also have some notable disadvantages.

Ann: Really? Like what?

Tim: Finding a parking space can be difficult, especially in big cities. Scooters are much easier to park.

Ann: I guess you're right.

Tim: Also, I haven't used my car much lately because the price of gas has gone up a lot. Driving a scooter is much less expensive, and it creates less pollution.

Ann: True, but riding in a car is so much safer. Several of my friends have been hurt in scooter accidents. Cars provide much more protection.

Tim: That's a good point. Even if you're not a reckless driver, you can still have an accident. If you have the money and it makes you safer, maybe buying a car would be worthwhile.

Ann: You have made some good points. I think I'll think about it some more.
