[范文]
The traffic issue is a hard nut to crack. It not only affects our everyday life, but may also threaten people's lives.① The three selections presented above are typical examples.
Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the largescale construction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing number of cars these years.② What's worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules.③
In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos.④ But rules alone don't secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter.⑤ It is everybody's duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track.
[解析] ①“not only...but also...”的运用指出交通问题的危害“它不仅影响我们的日常生活，而且威胁人们的生命安全”。
②“in spite of”短语和“because of”短语的运用，使句子饱满。
③“think it vital to do...”(认为……重要)，it作形式宾语，to do是真正宾语。
④虚拟语气使文章更上档次。
⑤It is...that...为强调句，其中被强调部分the people后有who引导的定语从句。

One possible version：
Nowadays,_with_the_growing_popularity_of_computers,_more middle school students are paying less and less attention to handwriting.
According to a recent survey, many students don't want to improve their handwriting for various reasons. 51.5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting, and 32.3 percent believe they are so busy with their studies that they do not have time to practice. 10.9 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless. Yet the rest have other reasons.
As the saying goes, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
