There will be a big rain out side. (It is raining heavily outside.)
I am working in my office but the thunder is blasting outside,which reminds me that outside it is still raining heavily . Unfortunately, I did not bring an umbrella or rain coat and the most terrible nuisance is that I rode a bike to get to work this morning.
I hope there will not be another big traffic jam in Beijing. Just two days ago , many Beijingers sufferred terrible traffic condestion.All the cars and buses were got stuck in traffic. All of Beijing became like a huge parking area.
I hate traffic jams and hate the feeling that I am waisting my time while waiting for every little movement. I alway ask why the issue of congestion in Neijing is so serious and why it is so diffucult to tackle.It is so bad that people of China call Beijing which is the capital of China another new name,the capital of traffic jams.
Beijing is such a huge city with 200 million people, it even has a higher population than some countries in this world. The booming population directly results in the lack of room for living and transportation,because the city's infrastructure will never catch up with the speed of population growth 200 million people have 5 million cars running in this city. Too many cars and so few roads and the slow development of public transportation including a bus line and subway is one of the reasons for the congestion. Another reason is that Beijing has more reckless drivers than any other city in this world. The fast pace of life in this modern society makes one's life very stressful.Office workers will be fined,if they arrive late,so they are really angry when they are stuck in the congestion. Sometimes fighting and traffic accidents will happen very frequently. People do not even have a good understanding of the traffic regulations or the ability to drive a in polite manner. These things make the traffic problem even more serious. Thirdly, the community including companies and schools do not organize for the needs of Beijing. It makes commuting more difficult. Parents have to send their children to school by car themselves and office worker have to go to work on their own. This lack of organization adds more unnecessary presure to the traffic jam. If the roads can be managed better, for example by using school and work buses more extensively or staggering the time of when workers have to go to work and get-off work, the roads will be under less pressure.
All in all,there are many ways to solve the problem. So the government should face up to their responsiblility.0 votedSeptember 30, 20120- From what I have read, the average native speaker of English knows between 20,000-40,000 words. The English language itself has about half a million words that you will find listed in a dictionary and another half million scientific terms. However, I believe that over the course of a week an English speaker will only use about 2000 different words... so if you are trying to master English for communication purposes having a vocabulary of 2000 of the most common words is a good aim.0 votedMarch 26, 20110
- I think it depends on your native language and your language learning goals. If you are planning to immigrate to or study in a specific country then obviously it makes sense to learn the standard accent of that country. If you are studying English for business reasons then it depends on the region of the world in which you are doing business. Usually, in Latin America and Asia (at least Northeast Asia perhaps not Southeast Asia) people tend to prefer American accents but in Western Europe and former British colonies many people prefer the British accent. If you are studying for your own personal advancement or enjoyment, then you should decide which one you prefer. I don't think it actually matters which accent you choose .... just make sure to be consistent in your pronunciation. Take Care Nicole0 votedMarch 24, 20110
- I am not really sure what you want to say here... my guess is that you wan to say: I am, of course, looking for it too? (like you desire to search for something?) if that is the case... remember I is the subject pronoun... so usually we will use it at the beginning of the sentence when we are referring to the person doing the action.... me is an object pronoun and it usually goes at the end of the sentence to explain you is receiving an action.... take care0 votedMarch 19, 20112
- Hi, this is a negative question... so as the other members have already stated we can't say, "Are you don't care anymore?" instead we would just use the basic structure of auxiliary verb + n’t + subject… In this case : Do (auxillary verb) n't you (subject) care (verb) anymore?
