A Vocabulary and structure

2- Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
Have you ever noticed how busy the roads in Cairo are especially in the rush hours? Every year more and more cars are using them. These cars do a lot of harm. Not only do they disrupt the traffic but they also cause pollution. Almost every family has a car. Some families have more than one.No wonder you see many traffic jams all over the city. Perhaps the worst jams are at the city centre. These long lines of cars crawling into
Cairo waste time and money. Every day, precious time is wasted while you are waiting impatiently at the traffic lights. At last when you reach your destination, you have every right to feel kind of relief, but soon you face new troubles. There is no place to
park your car. In Cairo it is very hard to find parking spaces. It is a problem that causes us trouble by day and anxiety by night. To solve this problem more car-parks should be built just outside the city centre. Then the drivers can leave their cars and catch a bus to their offices. Another solution is to build multiple story garages. Wide, smooth, straight roads must be built now in place of the old, narrow roads. These roads must not pass through the city centre, bypass it, they must not be crossed by other roads. This can be achieved by fly-over bridges. It is heart-warming to see such roads being built now. Carts, tuk-tuks and cycles should not be allowed on such roads.
Let us hope that in the near future when people rush to work and then back home the roads will be as orderly as ever and traffic will flow without hindrance.
