　 第五篇：

　　There are numerous taxis in our country, but what I want to discuss is those illegal operations of the taxi business. Once I took a taxi from Lotung back to Taipei. The ride was really a terrible experience because the driver used only one hand in driving when the car was running on the serpentine Pei-I Road. Though he seemed insouciant and confident of his style of driving, our hearts were in our mouths and all we could do was pray to God for our safety. On the street behind the Taipei Railway Station are parked many taxis touting for business, but they do not charge by the meter and you have to bargain with them for the price of a ride. Such taxis not bound by official regulations can be seen many other cities, such as Kaohsiung and Taichung and usually you have to pay a price higher than usual for an inter-city ride. We should not allow such taxis to continue to create problems and hope our government can do something about it. It is my belief that the solution to our traffic problems can no longer wait.

　　It was a dark, moonless and rainy night. I had just come away from a party thrown by my classmates and was a little drunk. I found a taxi passing by and waved my hand. It was an air-conditioned one and the driver was a hefty fellow munching something in his mouth. I told him where I would go and he smiled without saying anything. I was perplexed by his facial expression and found that he habitually looked out the car window beside him while driving. But I had a headache and didnt want to ask what was wrong with him. Then a sudden halt of the car and the screeches of the brake awoke me form my wine-induced drowsiness. I opened my eyes and, to my great surprise, found that the driver was wielding a knife before me. He ordered me to shut up and take out all the money I had on me. Coming to myself, I told him forthright that I didnt have a buck. He wasnt willing to buy it, so he searched me from head to toe but found nothing, Disappointed and obviously in a rage, he kicked me out of the taxi, drove off and left me behind.

　　As a rule I do not like to take a taxi ride because to me it is rather expensive. But I have to admit that it is more comfortable and can save such time as we spend waiting for a bus or as the bus spends when it is forced to stop at every bus stop. I also know that it is luxury to ride in an air-conditioned taxi on hot days and listen to the music from the car radio. Still, my taxi rides are few and the rare occasions on which I take them are when I want to save time, as, for example, when I want to rush to a certain place to sit at an exam. Such rides, however, are not always pleasant. On one occasion father called a taxi to send us to a place at Panchiao where I was to take an exam. We had to take a taxi because we had never been to that place and therefore did not know the way. The driver took us in his car. After traveling some miles we suddenly found that the driver did not know the place we wanted to go, either. At Panchiao we hastened to ask some passers-by to show us the way. When we finally found the place in time, father and I both drew a deep breath in relief. I could see that the driver did it, too.e place in time, father and I both drew a deep breath in relief. I could see that the driver did it, too.
