　　The picture presents the change of transports. In the past when our economy is underdeveloped, we all travel by bike. With economy developing, transports have changed from bikes to cars. But traffic problems have emerged accordingly. So now and in future, we need to advocate green travel and low-carbon life for the benefits of our future generations.
　　Traffic problem is an inescapable outcome of social and economic development, and therefore is common to most capital cities all over the world. The accelerated urbanization, the rapid increase of private cars, and the lag of road construction are responsible for traffic congestion.
　　As the traffic problem involves many factors, there is no single measure that can solve it once for all. For the present, realistic solutions may include: first and for most, we should give priority to improving and developing mass-transit system, both ground and underground; Secondly, the authority should set up proper limits to private vehicles; Thirdly, the related regulations should be made to ensure perfect traffic management; Last but not the least is to advocate bicycling or walking between home and office. I believe by these effective measures, the traffic problem will be solved sooner or later.
