The right side is the wrong side!
Do you know that there are many countries in the world where the traffic rule is to keep to the left? Some of these are the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia. There are different reason for this. One is that some countries used the same system as the UK. Another is that many people are right-handed!

The most common traffic problem in cities around the world is traffic jams. Sao Paulo in Brazil has the world`s worst daily traffic jams. According to reports, the historical congestion record was set on June 1, 2012, with 295 kilometres of vihicle queues around the city during the evening rush hour. Some other big cities also suffer from serious congestion in the rush hour.
The main cause of this traffic problem is the increase of the population in big cities. So the number of people using the roads has risen several times. The second reason is that the roads are narrow and sometimes are not good enough. Also, many road users have no respect for traffic rules. As a result, this problem is getting worse and worse.

Last summer holiday my family went back to the UK and we went to a music festival on the Isle of Wight. It is one of the most famous music festivals in our country, which takes place every June. When we got there, I was impressed by the huge number of people. You know about sixty thousand people went to the event. We didn`t stay at a hotel but put up a tent in the camp site. It was lots of fun. We listened to a lot of songs by many bands such as The Killers and The Stone Roses. Guess what? We met Jon Bon Jovi! He`s my dad`s favourite singer. He and his band stirred up the crowd in nearly three hours with the hit songs. We also went to the Bohemian Woods, a beautiful woodland down by the river. There we enjoyed a mix of good music from around the world and escaped the busy and noisy festival for a while.
