Situations: Traffic jams are now a major problem in most cites. However, it seems that people are not prepared to give up their cars and use other forms of transport. Requirements: Discuss the reasons for these two situations and suggest how the situation might be improved or resolved. Traffic Jams in Most CitiesWith the substantial development of social economy and the improvement of people’s living standard, the number of private cars has been increasing dramatically. However, the problem of traffic jams in many cities is disregarded while people enjoy the convenience of the cars, and even worse it seems that people are not prepared to give up their cars and use other forms of transport. (63 )As we know, the problems of traffic jams in cites can be shown clearly in the following aspects. First of all, people are often delayed one or two hours by the traffic jam, and a lot of time has to be wasted on the city roads. What’s more, the large quantity of harmful gas produced during the traffic jams damages the city environment seriously and has negative influence on people’s health. Even so, people are not likely to give up their cars and use other forms of transport. The reason is not only that the cars enable people fully enjoy the freedom of life, and go anywhere they want to go, but also that the cars symbolize the wealth and status of the owners.（ 124 ）Based on what has been discussed so far，it follows that some solutions should be found to put an end to the problem of traffic jams in many cities. To begin with, public transport should be improved in order to provide citizens with better services so that they are willing to use their cars less frequently. Another way is to introduce relevant policies and laws to restrict car use, such as time restrictions, road limitations and the raising of oil price etc. Only through these ways can we get out of this dilemma effectively and successfully.

Some people believe that the ing of globalization will bring us a lot of opportunities, while others argue that it will imply many challenges to us as well. There is probably some truth in both statements. To some people, the opportunities with the ing of globalization can be seen from the following aspects. First of all, globalization enhance our country to municate and cooperate with other countries in the world not only in science and technology but also in economy and culture. What’s more, globalization will surely accelerate our country’s reform and development and improve the living standard of Chinese people. And most important of all, globalization enables China to get involved with the world and the world know more about China. However, just as everything has two sides, globalization undoubtedly bring about some challenges along with opportunities. To begin with, with the ing of globalization, we have to be faced with more severe petition now than before. That’s because our country is still lagging far behind in many fields, such as in education, high technology. Some national industries will be knocked out due to inadaptability. In addition, while enjoying the richness of the civilizations, we are more likely to neglect or even lose our traditional culture. A case in point is that many young people in China are getting so wild about the western music such as Japanese ics and South Korean TV series that they lose interest in native culture, such as Peking opera. Based on what has been discussed above, I may reasonably conclude that globalization is like a doubleedged sword, which presents us challenges as well as opportunities. Therefore, we should try our efforts to make full use of the opportunities of globalization, and at the same time strive to make ourselves well prepared in every aspect to meet the challenges.
