What are some problems caused by too much traffic?
Well, there are several issues. Initially too much traffic causes traffic jams, which result in tardiness, physical and mental stress and everything in between!

In short, the environment and people's health is going more and more haywire because of this! 车辆太多会引起几个问题。首先，会引起交通堵塞， 使被堵车辆的乘客和司机行驶缓慢，延误时间，并产生身体和精神上的双重压力。同时，车辆排出的废气也会导致酸雨及其他环境问题。简言之，车辆过多正在使环境和人类健康不断陷入混乱局面。

What are some problems caused when many people move to the city to find work? 当太多人搬到城里去找工作时会有什么问题？
I think there are a host of difficult situations which arise from this. The first problem of course is overcrowding, which creates a burden on our transportation system. Another result of overcrowding is an increase in housing costs. To tell the truth, I think this problem is becoming worse day by day. If the government doesn't put some controls in place, we're going to be in dire straits. 我认为会引起很多棘手的问题。首先是过度拥挤，造成交通压力。另外过度拥挤也会提高住房成本。说实话，我认为这个问题正在日趋恶化。政府部门如果不采取一些调控措施的话，我们将会身陷绝境。

Will people's handwriting suffer if they use computers too much? 过多地使用电脑，会影响人们的书法水平吗？
I think this is a very topical subject. A lot of young people these days almost solely use computers to write schoolwork or correspond with friends. If this continues they could lose the ability to write script by hand! What's more, they often use emotions or abbreviations like LOL, or replace words like 'you' with a single letter. This problem is spiraling out of control! 我认为这是个很典型的例子。现在，很多年轻人几乎完全依靠电脑做功课或与朋友沟通。如果继续这样下去的话，他们很有可能会丧失书写能力。更糟糕的是，他们经常会使用一些表情符号或缩写如'LOL’，或仅有一个字母来代替如'you’之类的整个单词，而且这个问题正急剧恶化。

suffer =become worse 恶化

In many ways we have our backs against the wall. Although governments can provide wildlife sanctuaries to protect animals, that usually doesn't stop poachers from hunting the animals for their ivory or their pelts, for example.
从很多方面来讲，我们已经身陷绝境了。尽管政府可以提供用以保护野生动物的野生动物保护区。但由于象牙和毛皮等的高额利润，一直无法阻止偷猎者对野生动物的非法捕杀。
