Read the passage and put a suitable word in each of the gaps. Traffic jams in Vietnam only frequently take place in Hanoi capital and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnamese people seem to be accustomed to traffic congestion, even miss it whenever they go to other places. There is no fixed rule for the time the traffic jams to happen but it is worst during the rush hour when everyone is in a hurry to get to work or come back home. Apart from peak hours, the time between 9 am and 10 am and between 3 pm and 4 pm also witnesses long lines of vehicles, mainly motorbikes, struggling to get out of narrow streets. Whenever it rains, the traffic jam gets more terrible with the joining hand of flooding. Taxis are extremely hard to catch or wave during the downpour. However, it only takes about 30 minutes on average for a standstill and 2 hours to get through the worst, not really bad compared to that of other countries. While the rapid increase in car use coupled with the deterioration of roads caused by disordered planning make the matter worse, the most annoying thing about the traffic jam is the way people react when being stuck at the congestion. Most road users ride their motorbikes on the pavement rather than waiting calmly, or they constantly use their horns to hasten riders in the front, even shouting at them from time to time. More luckily, bicyclists can leisurely carry their "war-horses" on their backs and thread their way through messy matrixes.
Read about traffic problems in two cities. Match the city with its problem.
|
A. Ho Chi Minh City |
In Ho Chi Minh City, it is not strange to see the sight of a street that is crowded with vehicles. People cannot move and their health is affected by polluted air from exhausted fumes. What are the reasons? The citizens in the city use many personal vehicles to go from one place to another. They aren't used to transporting by public transports. May be because the bus drivers are careless, impolite to them or the taxi fare is too high for some people.
Bangkok is world renowned for its terrible traffic problems, so getting around on the roads is a bit of a nightmare. In my opinion, there are 3 main causes of Bangkok traffic jams. First, the quality of public transportation is low. Bus is of low quality and causes congestion. Second, the BTS and MRT are not enough for users. Finally, the most important cause of traffic jam is car accidents. Bad bus drivers cause accidents frequently and make the road stuck for hours.
PROBLEMS
1. It has low quality public transport: B. Bangkok.
2. It costs a lot to go by taxi: A. Ho Chi Minh City.
3. There are not enough MRTs for its inhabitants: B. Bangkok.
4. Its citizens use a lot of personal vehicles: A. Ho Chi Minh City.
5. There is a high frequency of accidents: B. Bangkok.

hours? Have you witnessed any driver acting aggressively toward other people on the road? If yes, you have probably witnessed a case of road rage.
Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior of a driver in a road vehicle. Road rage includes rude gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or even dangerous driving methods. Those behaviors intend to release stress and frustration of the angry drivers. Road rage can cause noisy arguments between drivers and more seriously, physical attacks. That may result on severe injuries or even death. There are many reasons of road rage, one of them is traffic jam. With the increased number of private vehicles in the streets, congestion is getting worse and worse. People are easy to get angry if they are stuck in the traffic jam, so road rage is more likely to happen. People are recommended to calm themselves in the traffic jam by listening to radio or music, so they can prevent road rage.
