CITY TRANSPORT IN NEW YORK
Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jams can be terrible, and it's usually the quickest way to go by subway. The New York, subway is easy to use and quite cheap. It goes to almost every comer of Manhattan. But be careful. It’s better not to go by subway late at night.
You see more, of course, if you go by bus. New York buses are also easy to use. The “Shoppers Shuttle” (Monday to Friday) and the “Cultural Loops” (Saturdays and Sundays) stop at some of the best-known stores and tourist places. You can get on and off as many times as you like in one day with only one ticket.
There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city but they will go to the airports. People give the taxi driver a “tip” of 15% extra.
If you really have to drive in New York, remember that nearly all the east-west streets and most of the north-south streets are one way only. This can be difficult for the visitor who does not know his way. Try to get a map that shows the direction of the traffic, and — good luck!
Many kinds of sports are extremely violent, however this does not stop people watching, doing or playing them. Should violent sports be banned or are they just a way for people to enjoy themselves? There are some arguments for banning violent sports. Firstly, some of these sports are simply an excuse for violence. There is enough violence in our world without seeing sportsmen getting hurt over TV. In addition, people who take part in violent sports often run risk of getting serious injury or even death. Many young boxers, for example, are seriously injured every year. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to banning violent sports. To start with, violent sports can be a healthy way for people to relax and 'let off steam'. As a result, general aggression and violence in society will be can be reduced. Moreover, instead of banning violents sports, we can improve their safety standards, for instance, by using better protective clothing and equipment. Consequently, sports injuries will be reduced. In conclusion, there are arguments both for and against banning violent sports. I strongly believe violent games should be banned, as I feel they are not going to help people to live together peacefully.
