B. Read the text and do the tasks below (1,25 pts)
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, the 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.
