In the past,people living a scattered.Transportation are very difficult from place to place.If old people went to someplace,everbody will walk or rode animals.However,it is not fast.Therefore,next time people built streetcars but streetcars could not give the required product because the streets were crowded so it is not fast.Later,people discovered subway system.However,subway systems are very expensive so some people prefer bicycle like in China.The reason for this,bicycle does not pollute and inexpensive and it is improve to health.I think bicycle is better than others but in the city centerda because of slow.And then, some people want to have car because of comfortable.However,I think people prefer public transportation because people are not carefully when they drive a car.So,accidents increase every year in the world.For this reason of accidents,first a lot of people drive a car while use the phone.I think it is very dangerous because this people violate the human rights.Second a lot of people drive a car faster and then a lot of people do not use seatbelt.Third,people drive a car while eating food.As a result,all of them are increasing to accidents.

EXISTENCE
YanıtlaSilPeople used to drove old transportation vehicles.First passage;they walked or rode animals.They went to school , doctor , anywhere,but people lived far from cities in small groups or on farms ın the past.They's were need of faster vehicles.At the end of nineteenth century, a new form of transportation appeared:electiric railways. This system is very usable.The first dubway system was the London Underground.Later invented car.In the beginning ,only rich people could buy them.After cars became much cheaper.All people bought from them.In the Unated States, the goverent lose lots of money.Because car is very comfortable vehicle,people life's changed.Second passage;Riding a bicycle is less expensive than driving a car.Bicycles also give people exercise.This cab improve their health.Bicycle use also reduces the number of cars, so streets are less crowded . Perhaps the most important thing is their effect on pollution.If people use bicycle ,air pollution is dicrease,but we must be carefully.We shold wear a helmet.Most bicycle accidents occur with cars.Therefore ,many cities and towns try to seperate bicycle and car roads.Thirdly passage;people drive too fast and they don't wear a seatbelt in the car.Therefore,accidents and injures are happening everytime.New fashion:mobile phones.When people drive a car, they are talking on the phone.They aren't looking to road and accident is happening.Eating or drinking is dangerous on the car.Whan drivers are doing two things at the same time,it is difficult for them pay attention.This causes a half a million accidents every year in the world.Scientists and engineers are finding ways to improve safety and dicrease the number of accidents,but people can make safer.If people drive carully , wear a seatbelt , and avoid distractions such as mobile phones.They will be safer.They will also make the roads safer for other people.I learned a lot of thing for my life.

Since the beginning of time,transportation has been of high importance for people.Because people needed to go from place to place.Therefore,in the past life,old people used rode animal and they walked.In the passage"The first modern form of public transportation was the electric streetcar in the early nineteenth century.Because of the fact that in the,there was not a strong transportation tools.At the end of the nineteenth ceuntry,electric railways were built by some governments.The first major subway system was built the Londan underground but New York subway system is bigger than other subway system.I think,it is better than Londan subway system.In the early twentieth century,people used gasolina.This is the reason why cars are "in" in the past life.People could go anywhere with cars.Also,people benefit from time,but cars were very expensive and only rich people could buy them.In order cities,there were no streetlights.Therefore,people can drive not always easy.In the United States ,the government spent lots of money to built these roads.Secondly,people used bicycle nowadays .Because it is very inexpensive.Also,it can improve health,but I think bicycles have disadvantages,because cars are faster than bicycles.In the past life,I Think biycles are so dangerous because the system of ways were very bad.Also,cars were not strong.It is slowly.I think,people have some equipment while drivig a bicycle.What i mean is that cars is the safest than bicycle.Thirdly,in the passage, "Car accidents cause between 20 and 50 million injurie.For example,in the past few years a lot of people in the United states of america past away because of dangerous driving.One cause of car accidents is too fast.I think,people have always used seatbelt bacause it is very safe.I have to drive very far because the average kilometers are about 30-35 kilometers.Therefore,I am always wearing a seatbelt because wearing a seatbelt helps prevent severe injury in a car accident.On the other hand,people use cell phone while driving car.It is very dangerous.I think ,people should avoid using tecnology.However,some tecnology equipments help prevent serious injury in a car accident such as,abs,dtc,airbag, but if people can use them,people to be rich.if people were rich man,people would buy safe car.In the light of the things that have been mentioned above,transportation is vital for people.

YanıtlaSilFirstly,transportation is very important for our.People used many vehicle from past to present.For example;we used animals and walked to transportation at first.Because in the past,it was easier to travel.Afterwards first modern public transportation vehicle was electric streetcar used.Technology continued to improving and we used elevated trains and first users were english people.Last,people invented car and they were built for it.Besides transportation must be safe and especially subway system was more safe because the cities was very crowded and streets could not use but,this is became a solve for transportation.Actually bicycle provide to travel easier than other vehicles.Also it uses less energy and it does not cause air pollution and we can live healthier through bicycle.Although it is not fast and I think it can use for doing exercise.İn addition bicycles are inexpensive because it has not fuel.İn conclusion,use of bicycles increase every day.Eventhough car sales increased constantly because of this car accidents become too much and these have many reasons.First cause of car accidents is dangerous driving and it means that people drive too fast and they are so careless.Certainly we must more careful in traffic.Second reason is seatbelts.Unfortunately We do not use seatbelt because does not like it.The other reasons are the weather,other cars and people on the street.Actually I think is the most reason is use the phone.Writing messages and speaking on the telephone while driving is so dangerous.We do not concentrated to driving and this situation cause accidents.Consequently scientist and engineers are improving new technology to safety.Thus the number of accidents can decrease.As a conclusion,I can say that transportation is so important for people but,we must use careful and safe.
