PUBLIC TRAFFIC

There is no doubt that in recent years the number of private vehicles on the road significantly. This has led to numerous problems such as a rise in air pollution, a higher accident rate and, of course, far more traffic congestion. Some argue that if public transport played a greater role, then some of these problems be reduced. However, the current situation is unlikely to change dramatically in the near future certain actions are taken.

There are two important changes that the government would need to make in order for people to use public transport more. Firstly, prices would have to be reduced - travel train, in particular, is not cheap in this country. Secondly, the quality and frequency of public transport services would need to be improved.

In addition, more dramatic changes, such as higher car taxes or congestion charging might put some individuals off driving, particularly if there was a better public transport service. To sum up, it is essential that the government to increase the role of public transport in order to encourage individuals to use it more. As a result, traffic-related problems will be reduced.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

The word "staycation" describes a holiday where people stay at home or visit places near their city instead of traveling abroad. Recently, this trend has grown significantly. According to a recent survey by the Global Travel Group, 45% of young adults and families chose a staycation last year, compared to only 20% five years ago. The main reason for this change is the rising cost of international flights and hotels.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on long trips, people are using their money in their local areas. A recent economic report showed that an average family saves about $1,200 by choosing a staycation. With this extra money, they often eat at nicer local restaurants, visit city museums, or book a weekend at a nearby hotel. This shift in spending brings millions of dollars into local businesses, which helps the city's economy grow.

In addition to financial benefits, staycations can also improve mental health. A study by the Institute of Health found that 60% of international travelers feel "very stressed" because of delayed flights or lost luggage. On the other hand, people who stay local do not experience these travel problems. They can start relaxing on the very first day of their time off.

However, staycations have one main disadvantage. Because people are still in their own houses, they often check work emails or do daily cleaning. To get the full benefits of a staycation, experts advise people to make strict rules. For example, they should turn off their computers and treat their home exactly like a real holiday resort.

The word "significantly" in paragraph 1 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.

  • temporarily

  • surprisingly

  • Exactly 60% of them end up losing their luggage at the airport.
  • The majority of them suffer from stress related to transport issues.
  • They need at least one day to recover before they can start relaxing.

Why might a staycation fail to provide the full benefits of a holiday?

  • People tend to continue doing their normal everyday responsibilities.
  • People often feel bored when they stay inside their own houses all day.
  • People are unable to afford a weekend at a real holiday resort.
