| It is said that the population of a city grows, and its problems grow. Pollution, too many cars , and crowded streets are just a few of these difficulties. One way to deal with these problems is city trains. Trains travel to different parts of a city. There are fewer cars and buses on our roads ,cleaner air，and more open streets. In recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines. The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Zhan to Ping Guo Yuan was opened in 1969. Its length was 23. 6 kilometers. The city grew after 1980 , so more trains were needed. A newer train line was built to help people move around the city centre. The 16-kilometre-long “circle line” was finished in1987. Since then even more train stations have been built and today the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometers long. For the 2008 Olympic Games , the trains of Beijing will be very important. It is thought that most of the people will travel using trains when they go to watch the different sports during the Games |
