Today, I would like to tell you about a frustrating experience I had a few days ago when I got stuck in a traffic jam.

It was a Monday morning, and I was on my way to the office. I had left early to avoid the usual rush, but despite my efforts, it ended up taking over two hours for me to reach my destination.

At first, I was really irritated by the constant honking and the toxic fumes coming from other vehicles around me. It was honestly one of the most unbearable traffic jams I've ever experienced. Not only did I miss an important meeting, but I also found myself stuck in the middle of the road, unable to do anything about it.

I tried to find shortcuts, hoping that they would help me avoid the jam, but after over 20 minutes, I only managed to get back onto the main road, which was still gridlocked. I had no choice but to wait until the jam broke up, which seemed to take forever. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached the office, feeling utterly frustrated because the traffic had completely ruined my day.

New vocabulary:

• Stuck: to be unable to move because of a situation (bị kẹt, không thể di chuyển)
• Traffic jam: a situation in which vehicles cannot move or can only move very slowly because of congestion (tắc đường)
• Dejected: feeling sad or disappointed (buồn bã, thất vọng)
• Irritated: feeling annoyed or angry (bực bội, khó chịu)
• Toxic fumes: harmful gases or smoke produced by vehicles (khói độc)
• Unbearable: too unpleasant or difficult to deal with (không thể chịu đựng được)
• Shortcuts: quicker ways to get to a destination (lối tắt)
• Broke up (phrasal verb): for something to end or dissipate (giải tỏa, hết tắc nghẽn)
• Frustrated: feeling upset because of being unable to achieve something (thất vọng, tức giận)
• Ruined: destroyed or spoiled (làm hỏng, phá hủy)

Idiom:

• Break up (in the context of a traffic jam): when a jam or obstruction clears and traffic starts moving again. (Giải tỏa hoặc hết tắc nghẽn)

This situation really made me realize how unexpected challenges can throw a wrench into your plans. Even though I tried to prepare for the day, I couldn't avoid the traffic jam, and it certainly threw me off track.

Phrasal verb:

• Throw a wrench into: to cause something to go wrong or disrupt plans (làm hỏng kế hoạch)
• Throw me off track: to distract or confuse someone, making them lose focus (làm tôi mất tập trung, lạc hướng)

1. What are good ways to manage traffic?

Managing traffic effectively requires a variety of strategies. Firstly, expanding public transport options can significantly reduce the number of private vehicles on the roads. When people use buses or trains, the overall number of cars decreases, which can ease congestion. Another key solution is improving the city's infrastructure, like building additional lanes or creating dedicated bike paths to encourage more people to cycle. For instance, in cities like Amsterdam, a well-developed cycling infrastructure has helped reduce road congestion. Additionally, smart traffic systems that monitor real-time traffic conditions can optimize traffic flow, making travel smoother. In the long run, combining different measures such as carpooling and using non-motorized transport can help create more efficient urban mobility.

Vocabulary:

• Public transport (Phương tiện công cộng): Các phương tiện giao thông công cộng như xe buýt, tàu điện ngầm.
• Infrastructure (Cơ sở hạ tầng): Các công trình hỗ trợ giao thông như đường sá, cầu, hoặc đường hầm.
• Dedicated bike paths (Làn đường dành riêng cho xe đạp): Các tuyến đường được thiết kế đặc biệt cho người đi xe đạp.
• Smart traffic systems (Hệ thống giao thông thông minh): Các công nghệ sử dụng để điều khiển và tối ưu hóa giao thông.

2. Do you think the highways will help reduce traffic jams?

While highways can help reduce congestion, they may not be the ultimate answer to traffic jams. Highways are beneficial for long-distance travel as they provide a faster route and ease local road usage. However, they often become overcrowded during peak hours, which can exacerbate the issue. To truly solve the problem, highways must be integrated into a comprehensive traffic management plan, which includes promoting public transportation. For example, cities like Tokyo have invested in both highways and efficient trains, creating a balanced system. Furthermore, better urban planning and zoning can help distribute traffic more evenly across the city, reducing reliance on highways. In conclusion, highways are part of the solution, but not the whole picture.>> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn PHÂN TÍCH ĐỀ THI 30/5/2020 IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (kèm bài sửa HS đạt 6.5)

• Congestion (Tắc nghẽn): Tình trạng giao thông bị ùn tắc.
• Faster route (Tuyến đường nhanh hơn): Đường đi nhanh nhất để đến đích.

• Overcrowded (Quá tải): Quá đông người hoặc phương tiện.
• Comprehensive traffic management plan (Kế hoạch quản lý giao thông tổng thể): Kế hoạch bao gồm nhiều chiến lược để quản lý giao thông hiệu quả.

3. Do you think developing public transport can solve traffic jam problems?

I strongly believe that expanding public transport is one of the most effective ways to address traffic congestion. A well-developed and affordable system provides an alternative to driving, reducing the number of vehicles on the roads. Cities like London and Hong Kong have successfully implemented efficient public transport systems, which have contributed to lower traffic volume. Moreover, public transportation is usually more eco-friendly and can carry far more people than private cars. However, for it to work, these systems must be reliable and accessible, ensuring that people can easily reach the stations and schedules suit their daily needs. While developing public transport alone might not solve all traffic problems, it is a crucial component of the solution.

Vocabulary:

• Expanding public transport (Mở rộng phương tiện công cộng): Việc phát triển các lựa chọn phương tiện công cộng để phục vụ nhiều người hơn.
• Affordable system (Hệ thống giá cả phải chăng): Một hệ thống giao thông mà chi phí sử dụng thấp và phù hợp với đa số người dân.
• Reliable (Đáng tin cậy): Có thể tin tưởng vào tính ổn định và hiệu quả của dịch vụ.
• Accessible (Dễ tiếp cận): Dễ dàng tiếp cận hoặc sử dụng.

4. How can we solve the traffic jam problem?

The traffic jam problem requires a multifaceted approach. First, improving public transportation would reduce the number of personal cars on the roads. Additionally, encouraging flexible work hours or remote working could spread out traffic, reducing the pressure during peak times. Another possible solution is to design dedicated lanes for buses and bicycles, which would allow for smoother commutes. For instance, in cities like Copenhagen, bike lanes have reduced road congestion significantly. Furthermore, investing in modern infrastructure like smart traffic systems can optimize traffic flow. Ultimately, addressing traffic jams requires combining several strategies and ongoing efforts from both authorities and the public.

Vocabulary:

• Multifaceted approach (Cách tiếp cận đa chiều): Phương pháp giải quyết vấn đề từ nhiều góc độ khác nhau.
• Flexible work hours (Giờ làm việc linh hoạt): Giới hạn giờ làm việc không cố định, giúp giảm tắc nghẽn giao thông trong giờ cao điểm.
• Dedicated lanes (Làn đường dành riêng): Các làn đường chỉ dành cho phương tiện cụ thể như xe buýt hoặc xe đạp.
• Smoother commutes (Chuyến đi suôn sẻ): Việc di chuyển dễ dàng, không gặp phải tắc nghẽn.
• Investing in modern infrastructure (Đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng hiện đại): Đầu tư vào công nghệ và cơ sở vật chất giúp giao thông hiệu quả hơn.
