Speaker1
On my way home a few day ago, I got stuck again in the traffic. While I was waiting, I saw a group of taxi drivers in front of me getting out of their cars. They seemed to know each other. They had coffee cups and one of them carried a thermos flask and poured out some hot water to make tea. It was quite funny! But even after the tea party was over, the traffic was still jammed and we still couldn’t move. Speaker2
A few weeks ago I had to catch a plane to Sichuan Province. The plane took off at 5:30pm so I set off at 2:30 pm to allow plenty of time to get to the airport. But it wasn’t enough time. At 5pm I was still only at the third ring road. It was just ridiculous! There was no way I was going to catch the plane, so I told the taxi driver to turn back and go home. Speaker 3
It’s only 7 kilometers from my home to my place of work. But every day, it is almost certain there will be a traffic jam as I get near the west fourth ring road. Its so annoying! It takes at least 15 to 20 minutes to get through it. I think the traffic jams are usually caused by people disobeying traffic rules. To get to the front of the line, they often take the bicycle lane. It’s the same with pedestrians and cyclists. They don’t wait for the green light to pass. Speaker 4
Beijing traffic seems to have got noticeably worse recently. The causes seem to be roadworks as the city prepares for the Olympics, and a huge increase in new car owners and new drivers. Whatever the cause, it’s enough to driver you mad! Why not limit the number of cars, build more underground lines or follow Shanghai and build roads in the sky? These days I only go out in my car at night after 9pm. That way I avoid the worst of the traffic. Speaker 5
Going to the Summer Palace the other evening there was a big traffic jam at a narrow bridge. One lane in either direction. So obviously there were lots of cars overtaking on the wrong side of the road which then came to a complete stop when a car came in the other direction. Result:
No one was able to move for 10 minutes! As soon as it cleared the same thing happened again. It’s unbelievable! Fill in the blanks :1. In the __________ years, he will study harder than before.
