M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from drivingcars on certain days.
W: You have a point, air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days isa bad idea. People have to go to work by car. M: I'm afraid I don't agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People areso used to driving that they don't think of other ways to do things. If we stop them fromdriving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around.
W: I see your point, but I still think it wouldn't be possible to stop people from driving. Text 8
