   More often than not, "getting somewhere" is used metaphorically to mean "getting what one wants", but in the context of ever-expanding cities and over-crowded traffic conditions, the term has come to mean a headache for commuters and governments alike. Thus, the choice between "roads or railways" has come to the attention of authorities, and I believe that the utilization of public transport, exemplified by railways, should be encouraged whenever possible.
   Obviously, the less traffic there is on the roads, the more efficient transportation operates, and the less polluted the environment is. Even though one can dispute that the road system was planned decades ago, and was not meant for the increasing volume of vehicles as a sign of life improvement, it is just because private vehicle ownership is prevalent, it is difficult to better road systems, and that public transport, i.e. railways designed to carry a multitude of passengers and transport them at a high speed, should be encouraged. Consequently, with less road traffic, exhaust emissions will be dramatically reduced, and a cleaner environment is readily at hand.
   However, the term "whenever possible" in the opening paragraph does carry some weight. For newly developed regions, especially those with a small or slow increase in population and traffic in the foreseeable future, roads can be a more pragmatic medium of transport when compared with railroads, underground or not, which are considerably more expensive and less adaptable.
   Railways, for their passenger capacity and speediness, are no doubt a more sensible solution to congested traffic and pollution problems than roads.

   The environment is what all livelihoods depend on, so all participants should have a fair share of work in sustaining it. Humans, for the advantages they have taken from nature and the harm they have consequently done, should chip in with willing actions no matter whether their contributions are legally bound or not.
   Admittedly, citizens will no doubt try harder to recycle in the face of laws and corresponding punishment. Even though recycling is a crucial and integral part of environmental protection, people, for the trouble or other concerns, are better at words than deeds. In light of an unidealistic reality, laws and binding regulations should be in place before it is too late.
   However, individuals are ultimately responsible for recycling. For one, daily waste constitutes one third of the pollution on Earth. It is only reasonable to demand that everybody "be a man of action" and "clean up their own mess". For another, recycling is not a burden to be passed from one individual to another, considering the welfare of everybody on Earth is at stake.
   Additionally, instead of laws, incentives might be more feasible and effective. A mechanism of recycling can be created on the government's part: tax cuts or reimbursement for the delivery of bulky waste to designated locations, the construction of more collection spots, or promotional campaigns highlighting the importance of recycling.
   In sum, laws will help to recycle waste, but not as much as incentives from the government could, and the cause will only be advanced when everybody is in it together.

   ●Humans, for the advantages they have taken from nature and the harm they have consequently done, should chip in with willing actions no matter whether their contributions are legally bound or not.
   这句话主谓之间运用了较长的插入语，起到了很好的解释说明的作用；chip in表示投入、集资等，在这里用得也恰到好处，说明每个人都应该参与进来。
   ●In sum, laws will help to recycle waste, but not as much as incentives from the government could, and the cause will only be advanced when everybody is in it together.
   not as much as...表示不如……那么多，用在句式中表对比，这里说的是立法不如奖励更有效。

   The topic at hand can be, ruthlessly yet economically, reduced to the following question—why do people learn foreign languages? This essay enumerates a few other reasons.
   Trips to other countries for business or pleasure will certainly be benefited if a fair amount of the local language is mastered. The reasons seem redundantly obvious: trips are much easier when language barriers are out of the way, communication will be instantly effective, and any business affairs are facilitated when the same language, especially a local one, is spoken and understood.
   However, people of a specific locale are prompted to learn and speak a foreign language, which is true especially when they are from tourist attractions and business centres. For the sake of being helpful hosts or improving business with foreigners, residents are willing to learn or able to speak, for example, English in non-English-speaking countries.
   Moreover, one does not have to learn a foreign language to interact with others in real-life situations. International cultural exchange has never seen more possibilities. British novels, Korean TV shows, French fashion magazines, and Italian menus can all be good reasons for anybody to take up a foreign language if they want first-hand information.
   All in all, it does not take a rocket scientist, or in this case a linguistics professor, to list all the possibilities one may have after acquiring a foreign language. The list is certainly long enough for reasons other than travelling abroad or working in a foreign office.

   It is bold to believe that the topic given can be shortened and rephrased to "Does money make the world go around?" According to this passage, the answer to the question is "Yes": economic progress, for individuals and governments alike, is of fundamental importance despite the fact that it is entangled with the performance of other sectors, programmes, and affairs of a nation.
   Understandably, aspects of a country are intertwined, and it is to some degree impossible to closely examine one out of the context of or without reference to the others. Better healthcare brings forth a strong national population, whose workforce generates more products more efficiently, which help the economy, which in turn funds education, from which healthcare benefits, and the chain goes on and ultimately into a giant circle or a web.
   However, the national economy is vital. Economy, wealth, or money, is in essence the symbol of increased productivity. In this sense, there is little room for argument that economic endeavours should be sidelined by any other governmental efforts. With an improved national economy, expectations for standard of living are met, national security is maintained, and international influence is boosted.
   Moreover, "other types of progress" are legitimately important, but require economic support. Admittedly, such public sectors as healthcare, public transport, and education are indispensable parts of public services, but it is common knowledge that any of those will not be provided for if the national economy is poor.
   To sum up, the degree of importance cannot be decided unless a specific set of standards or indices are available, but as the foundation to other national sectors and services, economic achievements are "the most important".
