The price of the gasoline is getting higher now. And it is still increasing. Come on, when will it stop rising? The price of 95 unleaded gasolines is about 30.7 dollars per liter now. With the price of international gas raise, the price here in Taiwan will increase, too.
I totally have no idea why it still increases gradually. I remember that about one and a half year ago, the time when I had just bought my bike, the price of 95 unleaded gases was about 23 more dollars. How come it is now raising up to 30 more dollars? You know what, I used to spend less than 200 dollars to fulfill my bike, but now I have to spend nearly 300 dollars to fulfill it. Jesus Christ! That's too expensive. Maybe some people from other countries don't think the price of the gasoline here is expensive because they spend more than this in their countries. Maybe we can't get use to it in a short period. But, I have to say many people here in Taiwan would live much harder just because they have to pay more money while they want to go out.
I think it's time for me to think about staying at home more frequently even though I've been doing that for a long time. Thank God I don't have a car now; otherwise I think I will be crazy.

2 意見:
S1: "getting higher again" would be better.
S2: Redundant. You're just repeating the first sentence in different words.
"With the price of international gas raise," should be "When the price of a barrel of oil rises in the international oil markets,".
"I totally have no idea why it still increases gradually." This is poor style. It should probably say something like this: "I have no idea why prices continue to go up."
"the price of 95 unleaded gases was about 23 more dollars." Nonsense. "the price of 95 was about 23 or 24 dollars." You don't need to say "unleaded"; unless you drive a diesel, all you can by is unleaded gas. Also, it's "gas", short for "gasoline", not "gases" or "gasolines".
"How come it is now raising up to 30 more dollars?"
"Why is the price now 30 dollars?"
" You know what, I used to spend less than 200 dollars to fulfill my bike, but now I have to spend nearly 300 dollars to fulfill it. Jesus Christ!" This has too many problems. The first one is "You know what?" This is just fluff. It adds nothing but wind (which can be considered "gas") to your paragraph. Don't use it. "to fulfill my bike" uses the wrong verb; it should be fill up". "Jesus Christ!" is not something you can write in an international business letter. For many Christians, this is what is called "blasphemy" [褻瀆]. I don't know or care whether you are a Christian. What is important is your audience. Don't write or say things that might upset your audience. Dirty words and any mention of religion or politics very well might. Avoid dirty words and these two volatile [揮發性] topics.
If you read the newspapers or watched some decent political and economic commentary on TV, you'd soon learn that the price of gasoline goes up for a few simple reasons. I'm not going to take the time to explain this to you. You will have to do your own research. But I'll give you one little hint: threats to the supply, e.g., terrorism, war, and shortages (natural or artifical) in the supply.
"to think about staying at home more frequently"
-> A better way to speak is "spend more time at home one way or another ". It sounds more natural.
"many people here in Taiwan would live much harder"
-> "will have/are going to have a hard time."
