A Traffic Jam You Experienced
Tell me about a traffic jam you once experienced.
You should say:
when and where the traffic jam took place
whether it is common to be stuck in traffic
how the people around you reacted and
explain how you felt.
．
When? What was the precise situation?
．
Compare with the usual traffic. Why did you get caught in traffic?
．
Rush hour: When? How often? Is it frequent?
· Roads are narrow; taxis go crazy; motorbikes get in the way.
．
Complained, irritated, annoyed, frustrated
＋
exhaust fumes
A couple of weeks ago, my mother came to pick me up after school. She usually does this
every Friday afternoon to give me a ride home. I attend a boarding school and I only get to go
home on the weekends
．
Usually it takes about 15 minutes for us to get home. My high school is located on the
southern side of the city, next to the University campus
．
But my mother showed up late that time,
and we got stuck in traffic. It was a nightmare
！
In my city, like in most urban areas, traffic gets pretty bad during rush hour. This time, the
roads were completely congested, and it took us an hour to drive home
．
I could have walked and it
would not have taken that much longer
！
The problem in our city is that most streets are narrow, and the number of cars increases every day.
In addition, there are too many motorbikes and bicycles that always get in the way. On top of this,
taxi drivers and new drivers don't really respect traffic regulations, and they swerve left and right,
causing a mess
．
My mother complained the entire way, and I couldn't help but sighing. It was such a waste of
time
！
I remember sending messages to my grandmother to tell her we would be late for dinner, and
my father was irritated because he had to wait for us
．
The whole thing was so frustrating
！
Finally, we also complained about the pollution from the many cars’ exhaust-pipes and the nasty
black smoke buses emit
！
Another annoying episode of life in Fuzhou...
