1、题目大意

有些人认为应该鼓励廉价航空旅行，因为它使普通人可以自由地旅行。然而，其他人认为这将导致环境问题，所以航空旅行应该更加昂贵，以阻止人们进行这种旅行。讨论这两种观点并给出自己的看法。

2、思路解析

这是一道双边类大作文，讨论的是是否应该鼓励廉价航空。双边类的题目，需要对每个观点分别表达同意或反对，最终的结论就是我的立场，可以是中立（双方都同意或都反对），也可以是单边支持某一方立场。审题时注意两点，一是讨论对象限定在“cheap air travel”，而非“air travel”，因此要考虑到廉价航空的特性。二是逻辑关系“因为会导致环境问题，所以要涨价阻止人们使用”，论证时需要围绕展开。下面，月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。

首先来看鼓励廉价航空的观点，有两方面。

一是廉价航空降低了出行成本。相较于那些传统昂贵的机票价格，廉价航空的价格确实使得许多普通人也能够负担起，甚至和火车的费用相近，同时飞机能更快抵达目的地，这使得更多人可以考虑飞机出行。而对于一些本身就会选择飞机的人来说，出行一次所需的花费也能更低。

二是飞机价格降低后，人们有更多机会去到更远的地方，这无疑能促进旅游业、航空业等相关产业发展，同时也能让不同地区间人们有更多交流机会，促进文化交流和个人阅历。

然后来看另一方观点。

飞机在运行过程中会消耗大量化石燃料，并产生一氧化碳、二氧化碳等废气，这些都会对环境造成破坏。而廉价航空的出现使得飞机飞行次数增加，进而导致污染进一步加重。而提升价格，使得人们乘坐成本上升，确实会减少一部分对价格敏感的用户，达到降低飞行数量的目的。

但是，如果出于环保的目的，并非一定要牺牲人们乘坐飞机的便利。一方面，需要出行的人即使不乘坐飞机，也会改乘其他交通工具，这同样会产生污染。另一方面，政府或大企业可以通过对环保能源的研究，寻找更好的替代方案，在满足人们需求同时降低污染。

4、高分范文示例

Due to falling ticket prices, flying, which was once a luxury only afforded by those with financial resources, is now markedly more accessible to the general public. Despite the fact that certain individuals strongly support the current trend, opponents believe low-cost air travel possesses primarily negative environmental consequences. In addition to comparing and contrasting the central concepts, this essay also offers a personal viewpoint.

Low-cost air travel is gaining popularity in comparison to other forms of transportation, enabling people to travel more frequently and partake in a wider range of travel experiences because it brings down the overall expense of journeys. Even those with an urgent need to travel opted to save money by spending hours on crowded trains when plane tickets were too costly. For those who had never travelled before, this was particularly the case. People can now travel farther and more conveniently than ever before thanks to the lower cost of air travel, which is almost charged the same as a regular train ticket. People will be more likely to travel farther and learn more about the world when prices go down. Through these experiences, they will learn about new cultures, form friendships , and expand their perspectives.

Some people are opposed to the idea of cheap air travel because they are concerned about the environment. It is common knowledge that aeroplanes consume a lot of fossil fuels and emit gases like carbon dioxide and monoxide, which can cause irreversible damage to the ozone layer and the atmosphere. People who normally choose less expensive options or dislike the idea of travelling long distances may be persuaded to travel more frequently in order to take advantage of the opportunity, especially if the price of air travel falls. Because of the comfort and novel activities available on board, people are beginning to enjoy flying more, but they frequently ignore the possibility that their joy will exacerbate global warming and other serious environmental challenges.

In my view, technological advancement will inevitably lead to more accessible air travel, and we should use technology to combat environmental pollution. To mitigate the negative effects of low-cost air travel, relevant departments should prioritise surveys aimed at cleaning up exhaust gases and exploring potential alternatives for highly polluting fossil fuels. The average traveller will only fully appreciate the ability to travel long distances while leaving as little of an impact on the environment as possible.
