6. What do you think the future holds for cars?
Well, I know that in America most new vehicles are hybrids, that is to say cars that are equipped
with a gas engine as well as an electric motor. When they drive for long distances, they use petrol,
but for short distances and in towns or city centers, the car runs on a battery which saves on
environmental pollution and fuel. In the future, they say that we might be able to use hydrogen
gas
．
Somehow the hydrogen gas is transformed into electricity. It is said to be pollution-free, but I
am sure that it is not as simple as it sounds. I hope scientists will quickly find a way to solve these
environmental issues.

A Traffic Jam You Experienced
Tell me about a traffic jam you once experienced.
You should say:
when and where the traffic jam took place
whether it is common to be stuck in traffic
how the people around you reacted and
explain how you felt.
．
When? What was the precise situation?
．
Compare with the usual traffic. Why did you get caught in traffic?
．
Rush hour: When? How often? Is it frequent?
·
Roads are narrow; taxis go crazy; motorbikes get in the way.

Complained, irritated, annoyed, frustrated

exhaust fumes
A couple of weeks ago, my mother came to pick me up after school. She usually does this every
Friday afternoon to give me a ride home. I attend a boarding school and I only get to go home on
the weekends
．
Usually it takes about 15 minutes for us to get home. My high school is located on the southern
side of the city, next to the University campus
．
But my mother showed up late that time, and we
got stuck in traffic. It was a nightmare
！
In my city, like in most urban areas, traffic gets pretty bad during rush hour. This time, the
roads were completely congested, and it took us an hour to drive home
．
I could have walked and it
would not have taken that much longer
！
The problem in our city is that most streets are narrow, and the number of cars increases every day.
In addition, there are too many motorbikes and bicycles that always get in the way. On top of this,
taxi drivers and new drivers don't really respect traffic regulations, and they swerve left and right,
causing a mess
．
My mother complained the entire way, and I couldn't help but sighing. It was such a waste of
time
！
I remember sending messages to my grandmother to tell her we would be late for dinner, and
my father was irritated because he had to wait for us
．
The whole thing was so frustrating
！
Finally, we also compl
ained about the pollution from the many cars’
exhaust-pipes and the nasty
black smoke buses emit

Another annoying episode of life in Fuzhou...
