In many space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships.

Dear editor,

I am Li Hua. I’m writing to discuss about the traffic problems near our school gate.

With so many parents picking up their children, traffic jams near the school gate are frequent, cause much inconvenience to our students as well as our teachers. Worried about the hiding traffic problems, I strongly recommend some urgent measures are taken. First, we should encourage students to ride bicycles or walk to school, what will not only help reduce jams but also benefit the health. It’s also a good idea to allow junior students leave school 10 minutes early than other students. However, parking is not allowed near the school gate.

I do hope my suggestion can be considered and that the problems can be solved soon.
