    On July 1^st, China opened the intercity high-speed train between Shanghai and Nanjing.

Answer 1

On July 1^st, China opened the intercity high-speed train between Shanghai and Nanjing. It takes about seventy-five minutes from Nanjing to Shanghai on the High-speed train. Passengers enjoy safe and comfortable service during the whole journey.

    Compared with other forms of transportation, the high-speed train has many advantages. It provides higher speed of travel for its users. In addition, it helps share the burden of other transport systems. Last but not least, the high-speed train service contributes to helping boost economy, tourism and the exchange between the prosperous cities along the line.

However, not everyone thinks highly of the high-speed train. Firstly, the ticket price will be about 50 percent higher than the fare for the “D” trains along the same route, which is too expensive for ordinary wage-earners. Secondly, most of them are designed to make stops at every station, so covering the whole distance will take nearly two hours.

    In my opinion, the high-speed train can be described as a fast, safe, comfortable and environmentally-friendly means of transportation. It will be more beneficial to the development of our city.                 (169 words)
