Ngày nay các thành phố trở nên lớn hơn và ồn ào hơn các thành phố trong quá khứ. Chúng cũng đông đúc và ô nhiễm hơn vì nhiều dân cư sinh sống. Các thành phố ít thoải mái và ít thân thiện hơn trước.

THE TRAM SYSTEM IN HA NOI: THEN AND NOW
Hanoi had its first tramways in 1900. The tram system was a major means of transport in the city for nine decades, and thus the image of the tram and its clanging sounds have gone deep into the hearts and minds of Hanoians. Since it was convenient and cheap to get around the city and to the suburban areas by tram, the system was very popular. However, due to the population boom and the need for a wider road system, the last rail track was removed.
Now, after more than 20 years, the population of Hanoi has risen from about two million people to more than six million people; therefore, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased dramatically. To meet the increasing travel demands, Hanoi is launching its first sky-train system, connecting Cat Linh and Ha Dong. The system is expected to begin operations by 2016, with initial four-compartment sky-trains. Furthermore, a new rail system project including around eight kilometers of sky-train rail and four kilometres of subway rail, connecting Hanoi Central Station and Nhon, has also been under construction and is expected to be completed in a few years.
The first tram system was built in _________.
Hệ thống xe điện đầu tiền được xây dựng vào______

B. Thế kỷ 20
C. Thế kỷ 21

Tạm dịch: Hà Nội có đường xe điện đầu tiên vào năm 1900

HỆ THỐNG XE ĐIỆN Ở HÀ NỘI: XƯA VÀ NAY
Hà Nội có đường xe điện đầu tiên vào năm 1900. Hệ thống xe điện là một phương tiện giao thông chính trong thành phố trong suốt chín thập kỷ, và do đó hình ảnh của xe điện và âm thanh leng keng của nó đã đi sâu vào trái tim và tâm trí của người Hà Nội. Bởi vì việc đi quanh thành phố và đến các khu vực ngoại ô bằng xe điện thuận tiện và rẻ nên hệ thống này rất phổ biến. Tuy nhiên, do sự bùng nổ dân số và nhu cầu về một hệ thống đường sá rộng rãi hơn, đường ray cuối cùng đã bị gỡ bỏ.
Ngày nay, sau hơn 20 năm, dân số Hà Nội đã tăng từ khoảng hai triệu người lên hơn sáu triệu người; do đó, số lượng phương tiện trên đường cũng đã tăng lên đáng kể. Để đáp ứng nhu cầu đi lại ngày càng tăng, Hà Nội đang ra mắt hệ thống tàu trên cao đầu tiên, kết nối Cát Linh và Hà Đông. Hệ thống này dự kiến sẽ bắt đầu hoạt động vào năm 2016, với các tàu trên không bốn khoang ban đầu. Hơn nữa, một dự án hệ thống đường sắt mới bao gồm khoảng tám ki-lô-mét đường sắt trên cao và bốn ki-lô-mét đường sắt tàu điện ngầm, nối ga trung tâm Hà Nội và Nhổn, cũng đang được xây dựng và dự kiến sẽ hoàn thành trong vài năm nữa.
