In twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today.
托福满分作文-范文赏析：
These days almost everyone either owns a car or aspires for one and until credible alternatives are found, the next generation will be no different. With few such alternatives on the horizon and as the need to travel grows, I would expect car numbers to rise and, thus, do not concur with the statement.
Governments would need to act now in order to present meaningful alternatives to private vehicles in a twenty-year time-frame such as convenient and comfortable public transport and thus reduce the demand for cars. However, to my knowledge, there seems to be no country pursuing the necessary revolutionary changes to public transportation to entice people out of their cars. From my experience, innovation is currently directed towards cleaner, fuel efficient cars such as electric vehicles, more roads and bridges and increased driver or passenger comfort. I am yet to see any competitive multi-passenger options, except for increased subway builds in major cities, which could alleviate traffic jams and road use enough to reverse the trend.
Meanwhile, our lifestyles continue to evolve, requiring longer daily work commutes, shopping expeditions as well as more frequent and more distant vacations. As urbanization continues in many cities around the world, town planning for ever larger cities necessitates many people having to live in the suburbs and commute relatively long distances to work, schools and shops on a daily basis. Although more could be done to encourage the use of walking or cycling short distances within our neighborhoods, the incentives to leave our cars in favor of public transport over longer distances is still not attainable in the foreseeable future. In return for our busier lifestyles, we tend to balance this stress with more and more leisure travel. Since these trends have been in place for several generations, it is unlikely that they will revert any time soon.
In conclusion, until there are more time-efficient, cost-efficient and comfortable ways to travel, domestic cars will remain the best option. Furthermore, modern life calls for more commuting and greater wealth for more long distance travel. As a result, in twenty years, car use will be more than today.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文多用长句。然而句子却并不显得臃肿，因为句式清晰，信息丰富。而且作者多次使用了让步和分词形式，进一步加强了句子内部的逻辑关系。而且文中还使用了多重逻辑连接词，增强了句子之间的逻辑联系。在用词方面，作者主要使用了常见的词汇，并没有单纯追求辞藻的华丽，但是词性变化丰富，减少了从句的过度使用。
1. These days almost everyone either owns a car or aspires for one and until credible alternatives are found, the next generation will be no different. 本句中嵌套了一个either… or…的选择句式，让句子显得逻辑更加清晰。Be no different是The same的同义改写，避免了常用用法的使用。
2. Meanwhile, our lifestyles continue to evolve, requiring longer daily work commutes, shopping expeditions as well as more frequent and more distant vacations. 本句首先使用了meanwhile作为连接词，开启了下文，是段首开头经常使用的一种方式。后面的as well as 并列了名词和动名词形式的三个短语，很好的注意到了并列句式的特点。
3. In conclusion, until there are more time-efficient, cost-efficient and comfortable ways to travel, domestic cars will remain the best option. Until此处也表示一种轻微的条件意味，相当于unless，值得借鉴和学习。Remain the best option表示依然还是最好的选择，也是常用用法的替代形式。
二、 逻辑结构
本文采用了总分总的结构。首先交代背景，提出观点，认为车会变得越来越多。之后两段分别从不同的客观条件变化，通过举例和演绎推理的方式进行了分析和证明。最后重申了观点并提出了解决方案。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
