Well today I’d like to talk about a time when I was stuck in a traffic jam. Actually I live in a small town and in general there is not much traffic on the road. So, few days ago I decided I will go in Dhaka because of my friend’s wedding party and he invited me. Then I travel in a bus. So when I travel in a bus suddenly there is a big traffic. So I feel very irritating because the weather is very warm and I feel very hot. Actually when I sit in the traffic jam, so the time I listen to music, playing video games on my mobile phone. And then after 2 or 3 hours later, so the time I looked, traffic jam is still. So then I out in the bus and I talk about traffic police. And also traffic police told me he is very tired because of this traffic. Traffic jam is very high and then I help him. And I talk, can I help you? So he told me yes. Then I help traffic police and in our bus driver he tried. There is just some place he would go. But the road is narrow so that time he can’t drive in the road. And another reason is that there is lots of small transport like rickshaw, motorcycle. It is very irritating because of this transport is just go in small space and makes a lot of noise.

Well, today I'd like to talk about a time when I was stuck in a traffic jam. Actually, I live in a small town, and in general, there is not much traffic on the road. A few days ago, I decided to go to Dhaka because of my friend's wedding party, and he invited me. Then I traveled by bus. While I was on the bus, suddenly there was a big traffic jam. I felt very irritated because the weather was warm, and I felt very hot. While sitting in the traffic jam, I listened to music and played video games on my mobile phone. After two or three hours, I looked around, and the traffic jam was still there. I got out of the bus and talked to the traffic police. The traffic police told me he was very tired because of this traffic. The traffic jam was very heavy, and then I asked him, 'Can I help you?' He said yes. I helped the traffic police, and our bus driver tried to find a way out. However, the road was narrow, so he couldn't drive through. Another reason was that there were lots of small vehicles like rickshaws and motorcycles. It was very irritating because these vehicles were trying to squeeze into small spaces and made a lot of noise.
