Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

At what age does the average person obtain a driver's license?

Trung bình mỗi người lấy được bằng lái xe ở độ tuổi nào?

[POINT]Point

The average age for getting a driver's licence depends on national law and personal need.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

In many places, people become learner drivers in their late teens, although licence requirements and costs can delay the process.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students who live in cities with good public transport may wait longer than young adults in rural areas.

[EXTEND]Extend

Passing the road test is only the beginning, because safe driving skill usually develops through experience after licensing.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

How do you think countries can reduce congestion on the roads?

Theo bạn, các quốc gia có thể giảm ùn tắc giao thông trên đường bằng cách nào?

[POINT]Point

Countries can reduce road congestion by lowering unnecessary car demand and improving alternatives.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Congestion pricing, better public transport capacity and flexible working can spread journeys across different times and modes.

[EXAMPLE]Example

If commuters can work remotely twice a week and take reliable trains on other days, they may cut down on peak-hour driving.

[EXTEND]Extend

Road building may help specific bottlenecks, but demand management usually produces more lasting results.

Is there any environmentally-friendly transportation in your area?

Ở khu vực của bạn có phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường nào không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, there are some environmentally friendly transport options in my area, although coverage is still developing.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Electric buses, bicycles and walking all support low-emission travel when safe infrastructure is available.

[EXAMPLE]Example

New bicycle lanes and cleaner buses can be a breath of fresh air in busy districts with heavy traffic.

[EXTEND]Extend

These options become much more useful when routes connect homes, schools and workplaces rather than existing only in a few central areas.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

Are there speed limits in your country?

Ở nước bạn có quy định giới hạn tốc độ không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, my country has speed limits on different types of roads.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

The limits are designed around road safety, traffic conditions and the level of risk to pedestrians.

[EXAMPLE]Example

School zones and crowded urban streets normally have lower limits than major highways.

[EXTEND]Extend

Speed enforcement is important because a rule has little effect if drivers expect no penalty for breaking it.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

What is the penalty for speeding in your country?

Ở nước bạn, hành vi chạy quá tốc độ sẽ bị phạt như thế nào?

[POINT]Point

Speeding is usually punished with fines, and more serious or repeated offences can lead to stronger penalties.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A penalty-point system encourages drivers to slow down because repeated violations may lead to licence suspension.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A small amount over the limit may result in a speeding fine, while dangerous excessive speed can bring heavier consequences.

[EXTEND]Extend

Penalties work best when enforcement is consistent enough that drivers expect the rules to be applied.
