Sample Answer:
Every day 1 hit the morning rush hour. I always sleep until the last minute, so I leave home when congestion is at its height. Because of this, my daily commute which is nothing but a 40-minutestop and go crawling. And on Monday it's particularly bad. As a consequence, _routinely sit in about 40 minutes of bumper-to-bumper stop and go traffic every day. Last Monday wasn't an exception. Traffic moved very slowly, and there was no end in sight. The closer to the city centre, the more slowly. This maked me really nervous. As a result, Į was late for an important meeting In fact, if only I could leave home just 15 minutes earlier, I would get to the office without any problems very fast. Normally it takes not more than 15 minutes. But I never manage to. Another thing that made me irritated, and it always does, was that 1 wasted a lot of time. What I mean is when l'm stuck in a traffic jam for example, because of a car accident, and don't move, take my tablet and write letters or do other important things. But last time cars were crawling, the only thing I could do was to scroll down my news feed on Facebook, which didn't improve my productivity and didn't do any good to me. AIso, traffic congestion usually entails additional expenses. I've recently read that for every two minutes a car is idling, it uses the same amount of fuel as a mile's drive What's more, it increases vehicle emissions. so every morning I blame myself for contributing to environmental pollution, which I can avoid only if I stop getting to work by car, which is out of question.
