One problem faced by almost every large city is traffic congestion. What do you think causes are? What solutions can you suggest?

Nowadays,

traffic

congestion has become a major concern in many cities across the globe.

This

essay will discuss the reasons behind

this

problem and suggest possible measures that can be implemented to handle the situation. One of the major reasons is that the ownership of vehicles has increased in the past few years which leads to the soaring number of automobiles on roads. According to some reports, Hong Kong experienced one of the biggest

traffic

congestions in 2014 which lasted for more than 24 hours.

Secondly

, in many ,cities the infrastructure for public

transport

is not fully developed and it is not available for the entire day. Due to which people prefer to use private mode of

transport

over public

transport

Thirdly

, many cities around the world are not built with proper planning and

also

there are narrow roads which obstruct people from commuting. Certain measures can be taken to deal with

this

situation.

Firstly

, the government should increase the quality of public

transport

by providing frequent services.

In addition

this

, fares of government transportation should

also

be reduced in order to promote it. Another measure is to construct wide roads and bridges so that

traffic

can move smoothly during peak hours.

Furthermore

, separate cycle lanes should be constructed and people should be encouraged to ride bicycles.

Finally

, major city centres or crowded places of the city must be declared car-free and a fine should be imposed on those who do not follow the rules. To sum up, by developing public

transport

and making rules stringent, the problem of

traffic

congestion can be reduced to a great extent.

As an adult, i do agree with the saying that, young people should seek for older induvidual guidiance instead of fellow younger ones due to my experince in life.I had an uncle who was like a father to me,he was very good at advises to younger generation. I can confortably say that all the mistake i did in my life was the ones i got advise from my fellow youths. my greatest regretes were the one advises that i did not take from my parents and uncles. in Africa where i was born and bred, we live as a community where every adult can play a role of a parent to every child whether biological child or not. it was a good experience to me to the extent that i started feeling like i had more than one parents. like they say great minds think alike. i started noticing that all advises i get from adults are similer and right while those i get fro

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
Many processed foods and drinks have a large amount of sugar resulting in health deterioration of many people. A suggested method to lessen the consumption of sugar is making it more expensive. I strongly disagree with this approach as it is violating the right of humans to choose their diet and I do not believe it will produce satisfactory results.
