Traffic where you live
1. E: How do most people travel to work where you live?
C: These days, most of Beijing people commute to work by their own cars. Unfortunately it causes much
heavier traffic in rush hour.
2. E: What traffic problems are there in your area? (Why?)
C: There're a couple of problems that are very obvious. One is the traffic jam. Because of it, if I have an
appointment, I must set off as early as possible. Or I might be stuck in the traffic. The other is accident. Now
the incidence is rising so fast. A lot of people are killed or injured in accidents.
3. E: How do traffic problems affect you?
C: Let's start with traffic jam. As you might know, if I'm stuck in the traffic, I'll be late for the appointment. It'll make
a very bad impression on the people with worn I have made an appointment. Next it's a nightmare to be caught
by an accident. If so, I'll have to call the police and have my car repaired in the garage.
4. E: How would you reduce the traffic problems in your areas?
C: Firstly, it's a good idea for the Government to improve the road safety. As you might know, the problems on
roads cause the traffic jams. Also, the Government should make a harsher punishment to the driving offences.

모범 예문
The game I really enjoy is the "Monopoly Game" . The reason why I like it is that the game is easy to play. There are some instructions related to the game. You throw the dice, and if you get a 3, for example, you move three squares around the board. If you land on a property owned by another player, you have to pay rent.
Several years ago, I got to learn it in a party. Afterwards, I sometimes tend to play it at weekends with my friends who are also interested in the game. We often play the game at home, in a pub or in a Cafe.
In addition, I enjoy it because it's a good chance to learn something. In the game, you'll quite often hear about the terms of real estate, stocks and funds. You know, today the investment and personal finance are very interesting and useful. Through the game, I have the general idea of how to purchase securities, how to earn money by building and renting a house. Whatever, the game is absolutely fascinating and good for the general knowledge about something related to real estate.
