1. How about the traffic in your city? The traffic in my city is very poor, just like in other cities, especially during the hours when people go to work and return home. 2. What can we do to alleviate the heavy traffic? We need to control the rapid growth of private cars and develop public transportation. 3. How do you get to work every day? I ride my bike every day. 4. Some people think that private cars should be regulated – what do you think? I think it has the advantage; the traffic situation will improve a lot. 5. Some cities are building subways to deal with heavy traffic, and what about your city? Our city already has a subway. People tend to use private cars instead of the subway.
Reply 1# uyuwj 1. It’s getting worse. 2. Develop traffic engineering for more advanced integrated traffic planning for our existing and future transit system; this is the foundation of traffic control. Channelize traffic flow, build more multi-level intersections, overpasses, and underpasses to minimize interference between pedestrians and motor vehicles and thus achieve more efficient transit. Construct subways to divert traffic flow, limit the use of private vehicles, and encourage the use of public transportation in order to reduce traffic volume. Improve traffic supervision and control, and promote education regarding traffic rules. 3. By bus. 4. It does work, essentially. 5. My city is too small to support a subway system.
1. The traffic in my city is too bad. 2. We need to control the use of private cars and increase the number of buses; moreover, these buses should come in two different categories. 3. By bus. 4. I agree – traffic must be brought under control. 5. This year, several more subway lines will begin operating in my city
I don’t have a city :)
1. How about the traffic in your city? 2. What can we do to improve heavy traffic? 3. How do you go to work every day? 4. Some people think private cars should be put under control; what do you think? 5. Some cities are building subways to address severe traffic problems; what about your city? I live in a relatively small city, and the traffic there is better than in modern cities like Beijing and Shanghai. However, it has been getting worse in recent years due to the increasing number of private cars. There are more and more traffic jams in our small city. Therefore, I suggest that the government should build more public transportation facilities such as subways and BRT (Bus Rapid Transit). I live in the dormitory at our chemical plant; the advantage of this is that I don’t have to deal with traffic jams. I don’t think it’s necessary to regulate private cars in our city – that’s something that should be considered in those large cities.
1. How about the traffic in your city? Traffic isn’t heavy in my city, but it’s showing an increasing trend. 2. What can we do to reduce the heavy traffic? I think we should use buses. 3. How do you get to work every day? Well, except on Saturdays and Sundays. 4. Some people think private cars should be regulated – what do you think? I think people should travel by bus if it is possible. 5、 Some cities are building subways to deal with heavy traffic; what about your city? In my city, the subway is far away from us.
More and more traffic accidents are occurring in the city. To address the increasingly serious traffic problems, everyone needs to contribute.
1. How about the traffic in your city? I’m not satisfied with the traffic in my city, especially during rush hours; the main streets get blocked. 2. What can we do to improve the severe traffic problems? We can appeal online to the government to reduce the number of cars and expand the areas designated for traffic. 3. How do you get to work every day? In a low-carbon, environmentally friendly way – by bike. 4. Some people think that private cars should be put under control; what do you think? Yes, I think so. But it’s impossible for the government to keep stopping car manufacturing. 5. Some cities are building subways to deal with heavy traffic; what about your city? Yes, three new subway lines were built in my city recently. I’m glad to hear that.
1. How about the traffic in your city? Every morning and evening, the streets in the city are crowded with cars, buses, and trucks, and the traffic problem is getting worse and worse. 2. What can we do to improve the severe traffic situation? In my opinion, the number of private cars should be controlled. At the same time, underground trains and urban trains should be developed rapidly. 3. How do you get to work every day? By my company’s bus. 4. Some people think that private cars should be regulated – what do you think? I agree with it. 5、 Some cities are building subways to deal with heavy traffic; what about your city? It’s a good idea for large cities.
1. How about the traffic in your city? The traffic is terrible in my city, especially during rush hours; the traffic jams are even more severe. 2. What can we do to improve the heavy traffic situation? First, we need to improve the development of bus routes and ensure the efficiency of the public transportation system, so as to encourage people to use buses for travel. Second, we should promote \"responsible\" car-sharing as a way to make better use of private cars. 3. How do you get to work every day? I walk to work every day; it takes me about 20 minutes. 4. Some people think that private cars should be put under control – what do you think? In order to save time and energy sources, it is essential to control private cars. 5、Some cities are building subways to address heavy traffic; what about your city? The subway in my city is under construction.
