Some people cite that the root cause to decrease our life quality is overpopulation. There are various negative impacts exerted by it, such as traffic congestion, air pollution, noisy environment and intense competition, which are not only difficult for people to tackle with, but also could cause injuries to health and even disappointment in life. Besides, low employment is another cause. As the population increases, an enormous university leavers are competing for limited positions. It is harder, therefore, for people to find a suitable job, which drives up people’s pressure. However, those problems could be tackled by some measures.

Secondly, government should give heavy penalty to those who dare breach public rules and also optimize public facilities to make them more convenient for people to use.

In addition, in order to get a decent job, people should improve their skills and gain working experience. In conclusion, there are many problems in cities like traffic congestion and air pollution. However, those problems can be addressed with more convenient public facilities and a healthy lifestyle.
