　　文章結(jié)構(gòu)：辯論型對(duì)稱式式話題。

　　The most expensive and comfortable way to travel around the globe is by jet obviously. However, since the invention of air flight, the debate over air flight never stops. The focus is that it is good for the global communication but it is bad for the global environment. Personally, both sides of the issue should be taken into consideration as follows.

　　When it comes to the benefits of air traveling, two sections should be mentioned.For one thing, nothing can compare with the jet which takes people to anywhere they want without any regional limit but only with courage and imagination. Namely, the air flight enables people to enlarge their horizons. For another, modern transportation helps the world become smaller and more effective.Thanks to air travel, the global communication and understanding improves day by day. In the morning, you stay in China, but at night you may drink coffee beside the Seine.

　　However, the drawbacks it has should also be focused. Firstly, it costs a huge amount of fuel like oil for a single flight.Taking automobiles for example, an air flight uses about 1,500 times as much fuel as a private car for the same distance. Secondly, using too much energy results in discharging too much pollution naturally. Besides, air pollution that we havelearnt for ages, soil, water and noise pollution are also caused during the flying. Lastly, this most advanced transportation exists with high risk and danger. Everytime when an air crash happens, there are rare survivors.

　　In conclusion, air travel is a must for international business and cultural exchanges. To use it soundly, we should try our best to reduce pollution and the use of fuel, and most importantly, keep it taking off and landing safely.

　　坐飛機(jī)很顯然是昂貴并且舒適的旅行方式。然而，自從飛機(jī)發(fā)明，關(guān)于飛機(jī)對(duì)于全球交流的好處和對(duì)于全球環(huán)境的壞處的爭(zhēng)論從未停止。個(gè)人認(rèn)為，雙方觀點(diǎn)都應(yīng)該作如下考慮。

　　談?wù)擄w行的好處時(shí)，應(yīng)該從兩方面入手：一方面，只要你有勇氣和想象力，飛機(jī)可以帶你去任何地方而沒(méi)有地域限制，這點(diǎn)無(wú)可比擬。也就是說(shuō)，航空有助于開(kāi)闊人們的眼界。另一方面，現(xiàn)代交通使得世界變小且更有效率。多虧了飛機(jī)，國(guó)際間的溝通和理解一天天地改善。早晨，你可能還在中國(guó)，但到了晚上你就可能坐在塞納河邊喝咖啡了。

　　然而，飛行的不足也該引起重視：第一，僅一次飛行就消耗大量燃料比如石油。拿汽車來(lái)舉例，在同樣距離內(nèi)，一架飛機(jī)耗油量大約是一輛汽車耗油量的1500倍。第二，使用大量燃料自然就導(dǎo)致排放大量污染物。除了研究多年的空氣污染，土壤、水和噪音污染都會(huì)在飛行當(dāng)中產(chǎn)生。后，這種比較先進(jìn)的交通方式存在極高的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。每次墜機(jī)事件發(fā)生，很少有人生還。

　　總之，航空旅行對(duì)于國(guó)際商務(wù)和文化交流是必需的。想要合理利用，就應(yīng)該盡力去減少污染和燃料消耗，重要的是平穩(wěn)的起飛還有降落。
