Nowadays, an increasing number of

people

have become to live in large

cities

Use synonyms

rather than rural

areas

Use synonyms

, and

this

causes

Use synonyms

heavy

traffic

Use synonyms

problems in urban

areas

Use synonyms

. In

this

Linking Words

essay, I am going to discuss

two

Use synonyms

reasons behind

this

Linking Words

problem

Use synonyms

and examine possible ways to address it.

To begin

Linking Words

with, there are

two

Use synonyms

causes

Use synonyms

behind

this

Linking Words

problem

Use synonyms

.

Firstly

Linking Words

, overpopulation of large metropolitan

cities

Use synonyms

and depopulation in the countryside are one of the major

causes

Use synonyms

of

this

Linking Words

. Since there are few jobs in the countryside,

people

Use synonyms

move out to large

cities

Use synonyms

and look for jobs that pay better salaries.

As a result

Linking Words

, the city population has increased and

traffic

Use synonyms

congestion happens.

Secondly

Linking Words

, another reason for

this

Linking Words

commuting time. In general,

people

commute to their office at the same hours, around 8 to 9.

This

leads to public transportations

such

as trains fully packed. I believe that there are

two

Use synonyms

possible ways to address

such

Linking Words

issues. The

first

Linking Words

solution is to enhance moving to rural

areas

Use synonyms

. As overpopulation in large

cities

Use synonyms

is a severe

problem

Use synonyms

, depopulation in rural

areas

Use synonyms

is critical.

However

Linking Words

, if

people

Use synonyms

are able to find well-paid jobs in the countryside, around half of the Japanese population wants to live there. Another solution is to vary the commuting time. In fact, the most remarkable

traffic

Use synonyms

jam is caused by

people

Use synonyms

who commute to their office. Varying times of commuting may result in easing

traffic

Use synonyms

jams in the morning and the evening. To conclude, there are

two

Use synonyms

causes

Use synonyms

which are overpopulation in large

cities

Use synonyms

and commuting. To solve

this

Linking Words

problem

Use synonyms

, it is better to move to rural

areas

Use synonyms

and decrease the population of large

cities

Use synonyms

, and varying commuting time is

also

effective.
