4. How can traffic problems be best solved?

交通问题是一个热门话题，也是必考题。在第一部分中，出题人问及交通状态未来的趋势，那么这道题目更深一层，让考生回答解决交通问题的方案有哪些。涌入我们脑海的是一系列的问题，交通阻塞，汽车尾气排放过多……所以可以根据问题找到解决方案。考生可以综述解决方案，也可以深入一个展开分析。

Candidate 1: As is known to all, traffic problems are becoming more and more seriously, not only in the developed countries, but also in the developing countries. What we can do to solve this problem has already turned out to be a matter of urgency.

Therefore, government has taken some positive actions to deal with it. According to the licence number, cars fall into two categories; odd and even. In this occasion, if your car is odd number, you can only use it in the odd dates, and vice versa.

Maybe it is the best way to solve this thorny problem as far as we can see. But in my opinion, it is just a privilege for the rich. Having lots of money, the rich people can totally deal with this policy easily. They can just buy another car with a different kind of number. Thus, they can enjoy the "car-life" as usual. In the end, it will lead to the unfair and unharmonious society.

But I have to say I can't come up with a better solution. If all of us care about our mother earth, show our concern for the air pollution, we should take actions to protect the environment, such as reducing the use of cars, let alone buying them.

If most of us, especially the one who is addicted to using cars, goes to work by bus or on foot, there should be fewer traffic problem. Maybe the government officals should stand up first and set a good example for all of us.

Candidate 1重点针对私家车的问题展开分析，例如可以仿效一些城市根据其车牌号的不同对其出行进行规定。但是，这并不能从根本上解决问题，因为有钱人可以再花钱买辆车换个车牌号。最后指出，交通问题的解决没有很好的办法，全靠公民的自觉性。我们如果能坚持坐公交车或步行上班，交通问题就能缓解。

Candidate 2: With the development of economy and the society, traffic accidents have been increasing in these years. We all face such an issue at present: how can traffic problems be solved?

In my opinion, we can do something to slove the problem from the following aspects.

Firstly, we'd better control the number of cars which make the roads too crowded, make our fresh air polluted and increase the traffic accidents. So we can follow the lead of Beijing which puts forward a plan that if the last number of the car's license is an even number, they can drive their cars out on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, or they should drive the cars on the other days. It decreases not only the number of cars, but the air pollution to a great extent.

Then, the government should encourage the citizens to take the bus instead of driving private cars. Some regulations should be set up in accordance with following up the government's polices.

Last but not least, citizens themselves must strengthen their traffic consciousness to obey the traffic rules all the time. Moreover, we could establish a system that enables everyone to be well supervised.

We are all sure that traffic problems will be well solved with our great efforts.

Candidate 2的层次比较清晰，重点列出了三种解决方案。第一，我们应该减少出行的私家车的数量。第二，政府应该鼓励公民乘公交车或骑自行车，并颁发相关的法律法规。第三，公民应从自身做起，增强交通意识，遵守交通规则。
