Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 3 to 8.
Traffic jams and pollution are two big problems in the city. Traffic jams occur when there are too many
cars on the roads, making it difficult for people to move around quickly. To solve this, cities can
encourage people to use public transportation, like buses or trains, instead of driving their own cars. This
would reduce the number of vehicles on the roads, easing traffic congestion. Pollution is another issue in
cities because there is too much dirty air from vehicles and factories. One solution for this problem is to
plant more trees and create more green spaces in the city. Trees provide oxygen and clean the air. By
increasing the number of trees, cities can improve air quality and make the environment healthier for
everyone. In conclusion, we all need to work together to solve the problems of traffic and pollution. By
using public transportation and starting green projects like planting trees, we can make our city
environment more sustainable and enjoyable.
