　　Free Passage on Highway

　　It is said that highway can be toll-free on the important holidays. Minibuses and motor vehicles with up to 7 seats can enjoy this privilege from 00:00 on the first day to 24:00 on the last during days in the Spring Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day, International Labor Day and National Day.

　　Some favor this rule because it will reduce traveling expenses by about 40 percent or even more. Meanwhile, some oppose it as it may cause traffic jams and other side effects.

　　As far as I am concerned, I think it is a piece of good news for private car owners. Not only does it undoubtedly make travelling easier during holidays, but also helps to stimulate economic growth. But it still needs improving. Local governments need to make out more detailed plans while taking everything into consideration. With improvements, the policy can be more sustainable.

　　【点评】

　　第一段中toll-free 意为“免费的”，the Spring Festival指“春节”， Tomb-sweeping Day指“清明节”，International Labor Day指“国际劳动节”，National Day指“国庆节”;第二段中Meanwhile表示连接，意为“与此同时”， traffic jams意为“交通阻塞”;第三段中As far as I am concerned意为 “就我而言”， Not only…but also…意为“不仅……而且……”;taking everything into consideration意为“全盘考虑”。
