Nowadays, people use bicycles less as a form of transport. Why is that? What can we do to encourage people to use bicycles more?
In today’s fast-paced world. It is true that bikes have been used less as a means of transportation. The phenomenon is caused by the inconvenience that bikes bring us and the significant development of technology especially on vehicles that has made the community tend to become more and more lazy to ride a bike and I personally believe that it is beneficial due to its health improvement and environmental protection.

Cycling is the healthier and more environmentally friendly form of transportation. Nevertheless, cycling is getting less popular. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to make cycling more popular?
There are some benefits that people gain from cycling as it promotes their health and the peace of the environment although it has declined its popularity. The primary reasons for this come from increasing sedentary lifestyles as well as the improvement of transportation in modern society. Restriction on electric gadgets and the introduction of higher taxes on private cars would encourage more people to use bicycles.

People in many countries do not wear their traditional costume. Some argue that they would forget their history and tradition. Do you agree or disagree?
In many nations, people do not put on their traditional clothes, while others believe they may forget their history and tradition. I firmly agree with the statement that if people do not practice their traditions, eventually their cultural traditions will fade away and foreign cultures will take the place of their traditional costumes.
