Ⅳ.【参考范文】

It is reported that recently 70 natural gas buses have been put into use and two gas stations have been set up in our city. Compared with traditional fuels, natural gas is not only energy-saving but also environmentally friendly. For one thing, natural gas vehicles consume much less fuels, thus greatly reducing cost. For another, unlike traditional vehicles, natural gas vehicles release very small amounts of harmful gases and they don’t make loud noises, which is beneficial to the health of people as well as the environment of the city.

Apart from the effort of the government, companies and individuals are also encouraged to use natural gas vehicles because only by joint efforts can we build up a low-carbon city.
