WHAT’S THE BEST SOLUTION TO OVERCOME TRAFFIC PROBLEMS?

Whether we realize it or not; as cities develop, more and more problems come out. Traffic jams are only one of those problems and maybe the most important one. There are some ways to prevent the congestions, but what is the best way? They just keep bringing a different complexity onto the tension which exists anyway in our daily life. Traffic jams have been affecting our lives dramatically, so we have to look for solutions in order to reduce the congestions.

The most effective and the most reasonable way to reduce traffic jams in our cities is to use public transportation instead of using private cars. The rising levels of traffic congestion in most of the cities in the world can be attributed directly to the increasing number of private cars. Because of this, many roads are insufficient to meet the number of vehicles. Those heavy congestions decrease the quality of life and make the life become miserable for us. For example, it can be a good idea to make using the public buses, school buses and bicycles compulsory for those who have to travel from home to work or from home to school everyday so that the heavy traffic in our cities can be efficiently organized. Nevertheless there are some opponents who still hesitate to give up their cars and use public transportation. Their general reason is that a car is always faster than a bus or a bicycle, thus they think that they can arrive at their destinations in time and there’s no need to use public transportation now that they own their private cars. Of course, it is a fact that private cars go faster than other public vehicles, but if they still insist on preferring to travel by their own cars, the hardship in the roads that we try to endure everyday will never come to an end. Actually, it isn’t worth it spending a lot of time by standing in your private car and just waiting for the cessation of the congestion for hours. This is just illogical. In a nutshell, it is crucial to make people understand that we will lead a better life from every aspect by reducing such unbearable traffic problems.

To sum up, now that we are always facing with the seriousness of the traffic congestions in our daily life, now it’s high time that we should be aware of it and try to improve it with our own efforts if we really want to live in a more comfortable and more endurable environment. We shouldn’t ignore the fact that the fewer cars people use, the fewer traffic congestions people will have.

WEEKLY MIRROR: THIRD POST

We are dealing with our blogs for three weeks and we learned so many things about it. Apart from it, in the third week our subject was crime and punishment. Our teacher wanted us to prepare presentations. I think each presentation was really interesting and everybody did their bests. We presented Ancient China And India. Meanwhile, we learned many strange and interesting stories about some ancient civilizations. For example, Egypt presentation was very cool. I really appreciate my friends' efforts. Generally speaking, it was a bit difficult for us to find somewhere to meet and to prepare our presentation, but it was completely acceptable work. I believe that next week will be more exiciting unless we are given so many homeworks. Because we got tired and also exhausted with those homeworks these days, so what we only want to do these days is just to take a deep breath. Except for that, everything went very well for me.

Regards ;)

WEEKLY MIRROR: SECOND POST

We learned how to write an opinion essay and its organization. We tried to write but unfortunately some of us couldn't catch on the counter arguement and the refutation, so Gülsen Teacher wasn't content with the situation. We were supposed to write our essays again. Apart from that, Metin taught us very useful things about our blogs. Now everything is OK...

enjoy ::)))
