答案Traffic and Transportation Part 1 (2 minutes) E First of all, we’d like to know something about you,so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves. E Are you satisfied with the traffic conditions in your city? (Why/why not?) A I’m a university student in Beijing. I’m not satisfied with the traffic conditions in Beijing. The population of Beijing is very large, and it is still increasing now. With the increase of population, the pressure of traffic is heavier and heavier. Beijing has invested much money into construction of transportation, and as a result there are more streets, highways, crossroads and so on . However, the demand of transportation still can’t be met. There’s always traffic congestion especially in the rush hour. I’d rather not go out if it is rush hour. In order to avoid traffic congestion, I would like to ride a bicycle if the destination is not very far away. E Some people think it’s safer to travel by train than by plane. What do you think? A On holidays, especially during summer vacations, I’d like to go outside the city for a change. Nothing can match an airplane for speed. But most important of all, planes have the reputation of being dangerous, and some travelers often feel nervous when they set foot on them. To me, safety is always a top priority. So I will choose to travel by train. Among the various forms of long distance transport, a train is the safest. Even if accident happens, the rate of survival is always higher than that in air accidents. E Do you think it’s safe to ride motorcycles? (Why/Why not?) A I don’t think it’s safe to ride motorcycles. As everybody knows, the speed of motorcycles is much faster than that of bicycles, and almost the same as cars some-times. However, it’s really a dangerous vehicle. The most important reason is that there is no special street built for motorcycles, so motorcycles have to share one street with buses, cars and taxis. Another reason is that there are so many vehicles especially in big cities. Sometimes the street is crowded with buses, cars, and taxis. You can’t ride a motorcycle at fast speed. Finally, the motorcycle is less stable and there is little protection for the driver in case of an accident. So, I think a motorcycle is a dangerous vehicle. E What traffic problems are common in big cities? B From my point of view, there are two common problems in big cities. The first one is traffic congestion. It’s really a headache in every big city like Beijing. In the rush hour, almost every place is crowded with cars, buses and taxis. You may be on or off duty at that time, but you have to sit in buses or taxis quietly no matter how anxious you are. The second one is road accidents. It’s also a serious problem. Every day there are several accidents, and maybe one or two people are killed or injured in these accidents. E What means of transportation do you often use? (Why?) B I often ride a bicycle. Firstly, I’m a university student, so I have no source of income and chiefly depend on my parents for financial support. I can only afford a bicycle because it.is cheap to buy and maintain. Maybe you would advise me to take the bus because it is also very cheap. OK, let’s move on to the second reason why I choose a bicycle. By bicycle, I can go anywhere I want to go as long as I’m not tired. It’s convenient for riding and parking in crowded streets. If I take a bus, perhaps I can hardly move one step because of the traffic congestion. And another reason is that riding a bicycle is an ideal way of getting daily physical exercise in a big city. E What do you think of the public transportation in your city? B I’m not satisfied with the public transportation in Beijing. Although there are enough buses for us to go anywhere, and there is also subway in this city, it’s still very crowded in the buses and subway. Sometimes I can hardly get on a bus because the bus is too crowded to carry one more person. Standing in the crowded bus or subway is really an annoying thing, and I hate it. Besides, the construction of transportation can’t meet the increasing demand of private cars, buses and taxis. So, traffic congestion often happens in Beijing. If I have to go out to some place, I’d like to ride a bicycle to avoid the traffic congestion.
