交通
1. What do you think of the transportation system in your hometown?
1. 你家乡的交通系统怎么样？
Generally the transportation in Beijing is good.There are enough public transport lines and it is convenient to take buses or the subway. But there are also problems. Beijing now is notorious for traffic jams. I think it is not only because the number of private automobiles are increasing,but also the roads are not well planned.And the management is poor.I hope the situation will be improved after 2008.
总的来说，北京的交通还是不错的，有很多的交通路线，这样乘坐公交和地铁就很容易，但是也存在问题，北京的交通拥挤问题一直不是很乐观，我觉得这不仅是私人机动车的增多所造成的而且也是没有很好的规划道路所造成的，更何况管理系统也不是很好，我希望在2008年后这样的状况会改善。
2. Can you imagine what transportation will be like in the future?
2. 未来的交通会怎样？
I think it will be fueled by different energy sources because we may not have enough petrol in the future. So I think when new energy sources come out,we'll see differently designed transportation. I also guess that some transportation will begin to use the air more often. Maybe our cars will be flying and there will be flying bicycles too.
我觉得会使用更多能源做燃料，因为到那时我们可能没有足够的石油，所以我认为新的能源的出现会造就出更多不同的交通工具，我想一些交通工具会开始更多使用空气，我们的汽车可能会飞，会飞的自行车也可能会出现哦。
3. How many kinds of transportation are there in China? And what should the government do to promote public transportation?
3. 中国有多少种运输工具？政府应当如何来促进公共交通？
Well,there are lots of kinds of transportation in China such as automobiles,trains,steamships and airplanes,among which the most convenient one is the bicycle. As you know, China is a country with a large population,so the government, I think, should increase investment in public transportation,construct more highways and facilitate people's travel.
嗯，中国有很多种运输工具比如汽车、火车、轮船和飞机，这之中最方便的是自行车。正如你所知道的，中国是一个人口大国，因此我认为政府应当增加对公共交通的投资，建设更多公路以使人们旅行更容易。
