问答题 Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay on it. In your essay, you should (1) describe the cartoon briefly, (2) analyze this situation, and (3) give your comments.
【正确答案】参考范文: From the cartoon we can see many cars and buses on the road driving in almost every direction. It is obviously a traffic jam. Everyone is stuck in it, and it looks as if there's no way to get out of it. No doubt traffic congestion has become a growing worry for the residents of most big cities in China. For instance, it has become a common scene that some major roads are choked with traffic in rush hours in Beijing. The reason is, as we all know, its limited transport capacity can hardly meet the increasing number of vehicles. Although the government has taken some measures to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, traffic is still a serious problem we have to face everyday. When stuck in traffic jams for hours, everyone becomes more easily to be annoyed and irritated. This will certainly bring other social problems. Then how can we reduce traffic congestion? In my opinion, the first and foremost thing is: we should consider alternative ways of travel, such as car-pooling, using public transport or even cycling to and from work. Only when we all get together and make an effort can we make a big difference.
