Mwangi, English teacher, aspiring2 journalist and Director of Mavens Education Centre in Kenya, wrote this story after taking the VOA Learning English online course, “Writing for the Internet“ at the American Resource Center of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. His story is the first place winner of the contest sponsored by the embassy and VOA Learning English. As the traffic in Nairobi worsens, primary school pupils who depend on public transportation seem to be suffering the most as they try to keep up with the demands of school. Some private and public primary school pupils wake up as early as 4:00 am to beat the traffic and be in class on time. In the evening, the pupils are also caught up in traffic. They may arrive home as late as 6:30 to 7:30 pm. “My mother wakes me up at 4:30 am, and by 5:00 am we are at the bus stop waiting for the school van,” confirms Joy Wandia, a 12-year-old in class six at a private school. The current floods in the city have not made life easier for the pupils. Last week, 11 pupils from Makini Schools waited for 10 hours to be rescued when their school bus was nearly covered in water during a traffic jam. The students were rescued and taken to Boma Hotel. It was almost dawn when their parents came to pick them up. The parents were also caught up in the traffic mess. “Our timetable has been greatly affected3 by the traffic, especially on rainy days, as we try to ensure the students and the teachers get home and to school on time,” says James Mwangi, the school principal for Mavens Education Centre. He says the problem is even worse for public school pupils who use the matatus- a public taxi van that provides transport across the city. “Public school pupils, who mainly use the matatus, are exposed to greater risks as they board and alight from these matatus,“ he says. Unlike their private counterparts, the matatus dont take them directly to the school and no one is responsible for their safety.” A few years ago, the IBM Commuter4 Pain Index Report listed Nairobi among cities with the worlds longest traffic jams. The report concluded that traffic jams increase the level of stress and anger. It noted5 this can create negative attitudes for commuters and affect their performance at work or school. The long- term effect is that traffic problems can create a negative attitude in the pupils towards school. 以上就是小编对这份资料托福VOA
