5. Read what the children from different countries write about traffic problems and choose the right option.

Fighting Terrible Traffic

Miriam Mostkoff from Mexico

One of the things that really upsets me is the traffic. Very often when I have to be at the lessons I fight terrible traffic and spend my class time stuck there in my father's car. That makes me angry because some drivers don't respect each other and can cause an accident. It makes me feel upset even though these situations are usual. The traffic problem in my country is worse because the traffic is bad all day long not just during rush hours like here.

Impatient Drivers Really Tick Me Off

Naitsin Shen from Taiwan

Drivers who are impolite or impatient really annoy me. And I hate it when drivers don't follow the traffic rules. Some drivers are impatient when the light turns green and the car in front of them does not go immediately. They start to honk their horns. Some drivers do not make a signal when they want to make a turn or change lanes. A few days ago, when I was on the way home, a car approached my car without making any signal. I was annoyed and really scared. I think drivers should be very careful so that everyone can be safe in the street.

Being Stuck in a Traffic Jam

Milan Gurung from Nepal

A traffic jam is a very common thing in big cities. This problem really upsets many people, and I am one of them. Traffic jams really annoy me, especially when I am in a hurry. When you are in a hurry and get stuck in the middle of traffic, how do you feel? I guess everybody's blood boils, especially when you are late for an important meeting or something. When you are in a traffic jam, you cannot even open your car door when it is hot because of the gases coming out of the cars. Being stuck in a traffic jam is my worst nightmare!

Something That Makes Me Upset is Traffic

Nicole Meier from Switzerland

There are many people who show bad behaviour when driving a car. For example, when somebody is waiting to cross the street, not many drivers stop and give him the right of way. According to the law, the drivers must stop before a crosswalk when a pedestrian is waiting. If they don't stop, I get ticked off by these impolite drivers.
