Bicycle—-an Important Means of Transport in China（1991．1）
（腳踏車——中國重要的交通工具）
1． 為什麼腳踏車在中國這樣普及。
2． 和汽車的比較。
3． 腳踏車在中國的前途。
這是一篇提綱作文。第一段，腳踏車在中國這樣普及，是由於中國是個開發中國家，人口眾多，經濟還不是很發達。第二段，和汽車相比，腳踏車體積小容易存放；腳踏車不用燃料，不會帶來污染和能源危機；中國人民的消費水平有限。第三段，腳踏車在中國的前途，目前腳踏車依然是主要的交通工具，但不久的將來，隨著國家經濟的發展，會有越來越多的人擁有汽車。但是，汽車絕不會完全替代腳踏車。
參考範文：
Bicycles, as a means of transport, are indispensable companions of most Chinese. Each Chinese family possesses at least one bicycle. China is therefore called “the Bicycle Kingdom”. The popularity of bicycles in China, I think, is mainly due to the economy of the country and its people. China, as one of the developing countries, has no financial potential to expand its roads and to manufacture so many cars to satisfy the need of so many Chinese.
Compared with cars, bicycles, however, have their own distinctive advantages. Firstly, they are very convenient. For their small size, they do not need special parking space. They can be parked almost everywhere. For their light weight, they can be carried upstairs and downstairs. Secondly, driven by man power, they don’t need fuel. Hence they have nothing to do with air pollution and energy crisis. Finally, as China is still a developing country, most people can afford a bicycle rather than a car.
With so many advantages, bicycles will remain to be an important means of transport in China in the many years to come. But I think with the rapid development of Chinese economy, more and more Chinese will own a car though cars will never completely substitute bicycles in the future.
