4. Which transport-related problems are the most serious in your opinion? Well, the growing number of vehicles in the city creates many problems
．
I believe that the
main issue would have to be traffic jams, because it is a matter that concerns everyone. We all
waste a lot of time in traffic at some point or another. Traffic is extremely congested at rush hour:
people know that it's a big problem, but they keep on buying cars instead of taking the bus or the
subway. In addition, I have heard that China was the deadliest country in the world in terms of
road accidents. A lot of men drink and drive because they don't realize how dangerous driving can
be. On top of this, of course, cars produce air pollution and a lot of noise with the engines and the
constant honking of the horn. All of these are major issues that need to be tackled as quickly as
possible.
5. What measures could the government take to address these problems ？
First of all, I really think that the government should encourage people to use public transport
as much as possible, instead of driving private cars. I think it would be a good idea to actually
reveal the total amount of emissions released by a car during a thirty-minute drive, and to compare
it to other scary quantities of carbon monoxide produced by different vehicles
．
The aim would be
to make people realize that pollution is a serious matter. In my hometown, the government has
decided to widen the roads, but actually, this decision simply entices
（＝
encourages) more people
to buy their own vehicles. I really think that buses should have their own lanes on the road. Buses
would run faster and traffic would be more efficient from one bus stop to another. Finally,
everyone needs to realize that driving a car can be dangerous
．
In China, since driving is fairly new
（＝
quite new) to people, people only see the fun of it. They only think that driving offers a great
feeling of freedom and comfort, but they should also be conscious that thousands of people die on
the roads every year.
