WRITING

6

Write a paragraph of about 70 words about the traffic problems in your town / city.
The most serious traffic problem in our city – Ha Noi is the
traffic jam. Although the public transport system in Ha Noi is
quite modern and convenient, many people prefer using their
own motorbikes. The reason for that is because most roads and
streets in Ha Noi are quite smalls and include many tiny lanes.
Therefore, using private vehicles allows them to get the
destinations without walking long distance. The situation
usually gets worse at rush hours when people all go to work or
return home from work and schools. In conclusion, people
should try to use public transport more often to reduce the
traffic jams and exhaust.
