This has caused widespread public concern (关注) , especially during rush hour. Sometimes, people would rather just walk or take a bus than drive a car to work. This can cause the line for the bus to be over 10 meters long.Because of the booming economy (经济的繁荣) and the improvement in peoples living conditions, owning a car has become more common. Because more people are driving cars to and from work, or going on holiday at the same time, traffic jams are becoming bigger and more serious.How can this problem be solved? One thing that can be done is to build bigger and wider roads to ease (减轻) traffic jams. Also, the government can encourage (鼓励) people to walk, take a bus, or ride the subway to work instead of driving a car every day. Another good idea is to ride a bike when we can. This is good exercise and also is helpful to the environment. If people can work together on these ideas, we can solve the problem of traffic jams on our roads.40.

But when the weather is good, its a truly special placehere are some things you can do when its nice.On the West coast of Scotland there are lots of places where you can take a boat trip to see many kinds of whales. And you can see the bottlenose dolphins (海豚) just off Inverness in the Moray Firth. Also by boat you can see puffins (角嘴海雀) on the Isle of May near Edinburgh. Of course its likely that youll see seals (海豹) and many other animals on these trips too.People say the waves of Thurso right in the north of Scotland are just great. If youre not feeling brave enough to go in the water then therere several major surf contests held there including the ASP World Qualifying Series and sometimes the European Surfing Championships. For beginners you might want to head further south to Pease Bay near the English border.Another very Scottish activity ideal for good weather is “Munro Bagging”. Named after Sir Hugh Munro, the 218 mountains in Scotland over 914m high are called Munros and walkers try to see how many they can climb in a set amount of time. This is not easy thoughthe weather can change suddenly and climbing becomes very hard.Thanks to a large Scottish-Italian population, there are far too many specialist ice cream sellers, but one of the most famous of them is Nardini in Largs, Ayrshire. Not only can you watch people actually make ice cream but you can sit and eat in a beautiful 1930s building facing the river Clyde. Theres even a piano player at the weekends.If youre feeling hungrier, go to the north of Edinburgh where the coast of Fife is still home to lots of fishing villages and unsurprisingly this means therere some excellent places to get fish and chips: Anstruther Fish Bar is one of the best of these and always busy. Here you can eat your dinner inside if it rains or on a bench looking over the harbour (海港) for a truly British experience.43.
