One Way to Solve the Problem

Too many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious
problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are
responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping
huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and
even death.

One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to
develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of
petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people
will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People
would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover,
dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.

There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile.
But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the
pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the
elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government, the public and the
environments.

Dear George,

I've got a ticket for the computer fair for this coming Sunday at the Municipal
Exhibition Center. I wanted to go, but my sister is away on business and my brother-in-law is in
hospital. I have to look after my little niece. I know you are a computer lover . So I've decided to
send you this endorsed ticket. The fair will begin at 9 a.m. You may take Bus No. 32 to go there.
