The World is Too Small

Now in this world, I think you must surprise that the world is so small.

Most of us have had an experience which reminds us the world is getting smaller. Perhaps when you went to some place far away from the city you live in and thought you knew nobody there, you were surprised to find that you ran into one of your old classmates on the street! Then both of you cried out, “What a small world!” Maybe she is living in there, maybe just by chance.

Today, we enjoy the convenience of various kinds of vehicles including ships, planes, trains, and automobiles, which allow us to go wherever we choose and make our workload much lighter. But modern transportation, along with convenience has brought some problems. With more drivers on the road, there has been an increase in traffic jams and accidents. The exhaust from automobiles has added to our air pollution, not to mention additional noise caused by trucks and cars on the road. So, meanwhile we also should prevent these occurrences.

There are thousands of languages spoken around the world today.　Everyday we must deal with a lot of people unknown to us before. The more advanced a society, the more contacts we make with others.

The technology necessary to build these machines is very complex.　At that time, You will even more exclaim in surprise small of world.

　　 At the end, we can draw the conclusion that as long as technology makes progress, the world will grow smaller and smaller.
