① But why does this happen? I think several factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, with the rapid development of our country's economy, more and more cars are coming into common families, which causes serious traffic jams. Secondly, with a large number of population and numbers of cars increasing, although the government puts a large amount of money on building or repairing roads every year, the quality of the roads is not satisfactory. What’s worse, some public transportation still remain unimproved. Thirdly, some people are unaware of the importance of obeying traffic regulations, so it’s not uncommon to see accidents blocking traffic.

② There are many causes for this problem, but the following may be the most important ones. The first cause is the great increase in the number of private cars. Cars take up more space but they carry fewer people. The second cause is the slow and inefficient construction and improvement of the roads and streets. With a large population and numbers of cars increasing, some roads still remain unimproved. The last cause is the insufficient management of the traffic system and some people’s lack of awareness of traffic regulations, which is an obstacle to the flow of traffic.

③ Firstly, the number of private cars keeps growing every day. Secondly, with a large number of population and numbers of cars increasing, some roads still remain unimproved. Thirdly, some people’s lack of awareness of traffic regulation also results in traffic jam.

紧紧围绕所分析的原因（不要面面俱到，可以选取 其中一两个原因）提出解决问题的看法。 ① Personally, I think that rather than promote private cars, it’s better to improve the public transportation system with scientific road design and proper management. More importantly, never can traffic jams be eased without self-disciplined citizens.

② In my opinion, the number of private cars should be put under control. And at the same time, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly. ③ To solve the problem, some pieces of advice are put forward. I suggest that more streets and roads should be built. Besides, we should take some measures to limit the number of cars. This can decrease the traffic flow.

④ In my opinion, the number of private cars should be put under control. Meanwhile, the government should take some measures to improve some public transportation. What’s more, people must obey traffic regulations strictly. For example, pedestrians don’t cross the streets until the traffic lights are for them.

参考范文 The over exploitation of World Heritage sites has raised public concern. As is shown in the cartoon, the World Heritage sites are overcrowded with large groups of tourists pushing, taking photos, or even spitting, and smoking everywhere, which has caused great damage to these historic buildings. One of the contributing factors of this phenomenon is that the local government is pushing too hard for the development of tourism, ignoring damage prevention and educational function of the sites. Moreover, some self- centered tourists are uncivilized in public places, ignorant of the historical and cultural value of the sites. From my point of view, the original purpose of setting up World Heritage sites is to help preserve history so that people will be able to enjoy it for generations to come. I suggest both the government and the public should be aware that the best form of conservation is the prevention of damage and committees should be established to undertake important educational work.
