Traffic— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Reduce hesitations and redundancy, answer directly with a clear topic sentence, then add one specific supporting detail using a linking word. Correct grammar (subject-verb agreement) and avoid repeating the same idea.

Ví dụ: Yes. My neighborhood has many crosswalks because it is part of a large, busy city. For example, the main shopping street has crosswalks every two blocks to help pedestrians cross safely.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear opinion, use linking words to explain reasons, and give a specific, realistic change. Improve phrasing and verb forms (e.g., 'I would like to reduce traffic' not 'decrease the traffic with good regulation and law that prevent to use many cars').

Ví dụ: Yes. I would like to reduce traffic by introducing stricter parking rules and better public transport. For instance, if the city improved bus frequency and limited parking in the center, fewer people would drive and air pollution would decrease.

× my hometown is very crowded and, uh, have many traffic in the streets

✓ my hometown is very crowded and has a lot of traffic in the streets

The subject 'my hometown' is singular, so the verb should be 'has' not 'have' (subject-verb agreement). Also 'many traffic' is incorrect because 'traffic' is an uncountable noun; use 'a lot of traffic' or 'heavy traffic' instead. Suggestion: use 'has a lot of traffic' or 'has heavy traffic'.

× because, uh, my hometown is uh, uh, mega city and it's very crowded

✓ because my hometown is a mega city and it's very crowded

The noun phrase 'mega city' requires the indefinite article 'a' before it when used in this countable sense. Also remove filler words like 'uh' for clarity. Suggestion: use 'a mega city' or 'a megacity'.

× So they, uh, are always very, uh, cars in the street

✓ So there are always a lot of cars in the street

The original uses 'they' incorrectly; 'there' is needed to introduce existence (there is/are). Also 'very cars' is ungrammatical—use 'a lot of cars' or 'many cars'. This is a 'there be' construction combined with plural noun, so use 'there are'.

× Is there anything you would like to change aboutthe traffic in your area?

✓ Is there anything you would like to change about the traffic in your area?

There is no grammatical error with article usage here, but the original transcript merged words 'aboutthe'—this correction inserts the missing space. The phrase 'the traffic' is correct because it refers to known traffic in the area. Suggestion: keep 'the traffic' and ensure spacing.

× I like to decrease the traffic with good regulation and law that prevent to use many cars in the streets

✓ I would like to reduce traffic with good regulations and laws that prevent people from using so many cars on the streets

Use of modal and verb forms: 'I like to decrease' is unnatural for a preference about change; 'I would like to reduce' is more appropriate. 'Regulation and law' should be plural ('regulations and laws'). 'That prevent to use many cars' is incorrect: after 'prevent' use structure 'prevent someone from doing something' and include the agent ('people'). Also use 'so many cars' or 'many cars' and preposition 'on the streets'. Suggestion: 'I would like to reduce traffic with good regulations and laws that prevent people from using so many cars on the streets.'

× and also the heavy traffic can make the air polluted

✓ and also heavy traffic can make the air polluted

The definite article 'the' before 'heavy traffic' is optional; removing it makes the sentence more natural. More importantly, 'make the air polluted' is acceptable but more natural phrasing is 'pollute the air' or 'make the air more polluted'. Suggestion: say 'heavy traffic can pollute the air' or 'can make the air more polluted'.
