可借鑒之處：開頭啟用了一個非常醒目的問句，這是最能吸引批卷者視線也是高分作文的表現(xiàn)!

Considerfirsttheeffectoftheautomobileonourindependenceasindividuals.Insomerespectstheautomobileservestoenhancesuchindependence.Forexample,carsmakeitpossibleforpeopleinisolatedanddepressedareaswithoutpublictransportationtobemoreindependentbypursuinggainfulemploymentoutsidetheirmunities.Andteenagersdiscoverthatowningacar,orevenborrowingoneonoccasion,affordsthemaneededsenseofindependencefromtheirparents.

此段主要是為下一段的駁論作鋪墊。

精華：Considerfirst...

insomerespects...=insomecases,tosomeextent

注意afford的用法

However,carshavediminishedourindependenceinanumberofmoresignificantrespects.

精華：diminishourindependenceinanumberofmoresignificantrespects

注意notonly…butalso的用法

沒有什么驚天地泣鬼神的事例，但卻能用平常生活中的點滴起到說理的作用，此法值得借鑒。

一種比較簡單易行的對比/類比：Theformer…thelatter…

此文章得分應(yīng)該是5分了。為什么?首先，頭尾都不錯;其次，全文無太多的語法錯誤，表意清晰，舉例恰到好處;再次，分析手法運用了不完全否定的同意的辯論方式，這是最保守的做法。
