【参考范文】

While most people are aware of the environment damage done by using private vehicles, many people still rely on cars and motorcycles on a daily basis. This situation can be explained by the current lifestyle in our society, as well as some psychological considerations. In order to reduce the use of conventionally fueled vehicles, a series of government intervention and support would be needed. 

In most cases, the public choose different modes of transportation to suit their lifestyle. The fast pace of living encourages people to go for efficiency as much as they can. In terms of daily commute, people tend to enjoy the convenience and privacy in their own vehicles, instead of enduring the hassle involved in taking buses and trains, Besides, in sparsely populated areas, due to a lack of well-developed public transportation, buying a self-owned vehicle would be essential for travelling prolonged distances.

Psychology is also at work when people decide what to take for their trips. Driving a vehicle is very often considered as a symbol of freedom, in that it provides a sense of having control over life. For some people, car ownership also means an improvement in personal social status and may even be regarded as an advantage in business settings. Another psychological factor is that, despite the awareness of environment protection, individuals would think that their choice of transportation makes little difference in this global matter. 

To encourage people to make a change, governments need to continue investing in public transport, in order to make them more comfortable, reachable and faster than they are at the moment. This would hopefully make people consider using buses and subways more, particularly for people having to travel long distances frequently. In addition, the promotion of cycling and carpool system has been proven to be effective. For instance, with government funding and policy support, employers can carry out programs, such as providing cash incentives, to encourage their employees to use green transport more, or to share a vehicle when traveling to the same destination.

In conclusion, the public choose to use cars and motorcycles because of their lifestyle, social belief, and lack of incentive. Public transport and green modes of commuting would need to be more comfortable, available and attractive for people, with collaborative efforts of authorities and employers.
