- Most of people in traffic jams tend to have an appointsments. For example, they have promises with friends or they have to go to the work on time, which increases the possibility of traffic accident.

[7] A traffic light is a device for trapping you in the middle of the intersection.
- Sometimes, people think that a traffic light is time-consuming. However, Intersection is very dangerous place for drivers. This is because most of the car accidents occur at the intersection.

답변

                     ======CORRECTED SENTENCES======

* Most of people in traffic jams tend to have an appointmentsFor example, they have promises with friends or they have to go to the work on time, which increases the possibility of traffic accident.

* I think the statement is true. This is because, a person does not complain about the traffic tickets until they violate the rules of traffic. However, once the driver violate the rules, the man tend to complain about the tickets all the time.

* About expression # 4 : "Fast transportation has made us all neighbors- but,unfortunately, not brothers."

- Fast transportation made our life more convenient. Therefore, we could travel long distances in a short period time. For example, the subways can travel the 50 kilometers an hour. 
*Carrie I don't understand that why the fast transportation cannot give advantages to brothers. :)

>> About this one, the expression means fast transportation is convenient to use because when we ride a public transportation, we tend to socialize with some of the passengers, but at the same time the disadvantage of it is during rush hours, and for some instances that we don't want to be late on our work, unconsciously we suddenly bump or push our fellow passengers just to make it inside or enter the vehicle. So sometimes other passengers might find it annoying. So still even if there are advantages, we still can't avoid some disadvantages of a certain thing or situation.


                           =======REMINDERS=======

* Always take note of your typo-graphical errors like spelling.

* The word convenient is an adjective (describing words) so we should just use it with the comparative degree "more" rather than the adverb (explains the state of a noun/adjective) "conveniently".
