Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were

not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people. Everyon e has experienced, at

some time, that strong sense of isolation that comes over you when you are at a party or in a room

full of happy laughing people. It sudde nly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else,

everybody knows what is g oing on; everybody, that is, except you.

This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when you are in a crowd is ver y difficult

to get rid of. People living alone are advised to tackle their lonel iness by joining a club or a

society, by going out and meeting people.

The price of public transportation in Beijing has doubled twice since 1989, but it is still a

bargain. Using the subway and minibuses used to show class status; now people of all classes take

them, while some wealthy prefer taxis or private cars. What a change in just a few years!But there

are downfalls to having more cars on the roads. Fortunately, the gover nment is aware of the

problem. No-lead gasoline is the only one permitted in the city, and the rest of the country follows.

Thousands of trees are planted in an d around the city every year. Children are taught why and

how to protect the env ironment. At the same time, public transportation has marked real progress:

buse s are everywhere and run frequently. We no longer see those old buses with broke n windows.

Instead, there are fast buses, double-decker buses, air-conditioned o r heated buses, all offering a

good service.
