    Train and subway lines could reduce traffic by carrying hundreds of passengers instead of private vehicles, using dedicated lanes. However, improving and widening roads could allow higher traffic volumes to circulate smoothly as a permanent solution. The causes of traffic jams in many cities include dense populations that exceed road capacity during rush hours and poor infrastructure with potholes and lacking traffic controls. Solutions include policies to reduce vehicle volumes and periodically improving infrastructure quality. While driverless vehicles could help disabled people and reduce environmental impacts through efficient routing, they may face reliability issues from technical problems and deprive human drivers of jobs.

    Some people believe government should spend money on building train and
    subway lines to reduce traffic congestion. Others think that building more and
    wider roads is the better way to reduce traffic congestion. Discuss both views
    and give your opinion.
    Body 1 - building train and subway lines
    + decrease the number of daily travelers on main streets
    trains or subways with huge capacity are able to carry hundreds of passengers at
    the same time -> the significant reduction of private vehicles on -> tackling
    congested roads
    + rail transportation systems move on their own dedicated lanes
    relieve the density of vehicles on the main road -> easing congestions

    Body 2 - improving the size of roads and streets


    + allow a higher volume of traffic and enable more vehicles to circulate smoothly.
    traffic jam <- the density of vehicles that exceeds the capacity of the current
    system.
    + a permanent solution to the situation of traffic jam
    more private car owners <- the enhancement of living standards->the increase of
    road capacity can accommodate a great deal amount of traffic, hence easing traffic
    jams.

    In some cities and towns all over the world, traffic jam is a problem. What are
    the causes of this and what actions can be taken to solve this problem?
    Body 1
    + the extremely dense population is generally seen in metropolitan areas, -> the
    immense number of traffic participants.
    people in the countryside tend to migrate to urban areas -> traffic
    congestion during rush hours

    + the poor quality of infrastructure


    roads -  with a lot of potholes + the lack of traffic facilities such as traffic signals,
    road markings and warning signs -> traffic accidents -> traffic jams. 

    Body 2
    + issue a number of counter-urbanization policies  to reduce the volume of
    vehicles
    people are encouraged to resettle in rural areas -> the reduction in the number of
    traffic participants -> traffic jams.
    + periodically improve the quality of infrastructure
    conducting regular road maintenance and building modern facilities such as
    highways, overpasses and underpasses ->  ease the pressure on the roads.

    In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people
    travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of
    driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

    Body 1

    + these models provide easy access to individuals with difficulties


    disabled travelers can get food from a restaurant or pick up the laundry themselves
    + automation may help reduce the detrimental effects that regular vehicles have on
    environment.
    human drivers often misuse gas and brakes -> burn more gas than it needs
    self-driving cars - work in an energy-efficient way + travel on the most convenient
    routes -> consuming less fuel + curbing the emissions released into the air.

    Body 2

    + the difficulties in ensuring its reliability.


    programmable driverless vehicles are prone to technical glitches -> malfunction
    + human drivers can be deprived of their livelihoods
    those who work in trucking, public transits, and deliver services – jobless -> the
    increasing unemployment rate
