Sample answer:

Personally speaking, the city government can take several measures to decrease the traffic congestion. First of all, citizens should be encouraged and educated to take public transportation often. Such as buses, subways and public bicycles and so on. Meanwhile, the government need to develop urban public transportation greatly by building more public bus and subway routes and widening the roads and streets, which can not only improve the whole city function, but also use road resources more effectively. Besides, limiting the number of private cars on roads will also benefit the traffic conditions in cities.

Task 1参考答案:

Well I think the government should encourage the use of public transportation system to solve traffic congestion. First, they can issue more policies like the odd-even plate number restriction (单双号限号政策) and draw lots to get car purchase permission policy(摇号政策), which have been really effective in reducing car numbers on the street; plus, they can spend more money on the development of the public transportation system, like to build up more subway lines or bus stations, and keep the fee affordable.
