 Reading Passage Module 2-SG
Manchester Problems
An accident in the centre of Manchester on Friday night brought traffic to a standstill for an hour. One motorist
left his office at six o’clock and got home at half past eight. He lives seven miles away. When he was asked why he
didn’t turn around and try another route, he answered: “There is only one route through the centre of Manchester.
It’s all one way now!”
The traffic problem is the same in the rush hour. “The only people who get to work on time are cyclists”, said
another angry motorist. “If Manchester Council doesn’t improve the traffic system, I will buy a bicycle”.
Mr. J. H. Jones, from the Manchester Council, made this comment: “The one-way system is all right; it’s the number
of drivers that’s wrong. It’s a mystery to me why more people don’t leave their cars at home and travel by train or
cycle to work”.
Another problem in Manchester are schools. Angry parents protested outside the Town Hall in Manchester today
about how their children get to school. Mothers had placards saying: BUILD MORE SCHOOLS! And one small child
had a placard saying: I WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL! I’M ALWAYS LATE WHEN I GO BY SCHOOL BUS!
The problem is this: there are not enough primary schools in Central Manchester. Small children aged five to
seven travel over five miles to get to school. They go on special buses. The mothers complain that the buses are
never on time. The children get up early and sometimes wait half an hour on cold mornings when the bus is late.
Then the journey takes a long time in the rush hour in Central Manchester. The children are often late for school,
and the teachers are angry.
