The biggest transportation problem in my city is traffic congestion.I believe that providing bike-sharing services as well as making full use of space such as building more overpasses and subways will help solve the problem. With easy-to-access bike-sharing services and well-established transportation systems, people may reconsider the way they travel and choose bikes or publie transportation to commute to work, which will ease traffic pressure during the rush hour and will in turn alleviate environmental pollution. These steps, by decreasing the number of people who drive their own cars, will help solve the problem of traffic congestion.iExplore 25-5 iExplore 2: ReadingViewing 1-21)Japan2)government3)Seniors/seniors4)families5-6 iExplore 2: Building your languageWords and expressions 1-11.prevalent2workforce3. deficit4.troublesome5.implicitWords and expressions 1-21. shrug off2.magnet3.conceivable4.insulated5. notablyCollocations 1-11. depressed profits2. senior employee3.

The number of the elderly in China is expected to inerease by around 10 million every year. This poses a challenge for China, since the senior care industry is not yet fully developed. Apart from that, factors such as the imbalance of economic development in different regions and the discrepancy between rural and urban areas are intertwined, which both compounds and complicates the senior care needs in China. Therefore, as the aging population is growing. China has to suitable solutions to the senior care problem as soon as possible.5-7 iExplore 2: Sharing your ideasSharing your ideasReference:Hi everyone, do you know that the whole world is getting older? Have you ever thought about the aging problem in our country? I didnt think much about it before, but after doing some research on the issue. I found it important and worth discussing.According to a report in 2012. China had been the country with the largest population of citizens over 65 years old. Usually big cities are much older compared to the rural areas: however, with more and more younger people moving to big cities. many rural areas are left with old people taking careof the little kids. This makes the aging problem in rural areas even worse.The aging problem can pose challenges to society. For example, with more people getting older. the workforce of the country will decrease and thus the economic growth will be hampered. At the same time. the pressure to care for the old gets increasingly high. Moreover, as more middle-aged people from rural areas move to big cities to make money, the old are left in rural areas with nobody caring for them.So what can be done to deal with the aging problem?Various ways of caring for the old should be piloted. First,setting up seniors care centers may be helpful. In the care center, the elderly can be taken care of by professional care workers. And they have more chances to communicate with others. Second, its important to create more employment opportunities for middle-aged people in rural areas so that they can stay in their hometown working and caring for their parents.Hopefully these means can help cope with the aging problem to some extent. Thats all. Thank you.iAssess5-9 Unit testVocabulary and structure 1-1A C D C BVocabulary and structure 1-21.cut down errelated3.statistics4.insulation5.workforceBanked clozeNEHLAGCBJFReading comprehension 1B C A C BTranslation 1-1Reference:Offering opportunities for the elderly to work as well as engage in volunteering, care and artistic activities can pro
