Part 3: Translation
Translate the following passage into Urdu.
For people who live in cities parking is one of the most stressful aspects of everyday life. Illegal parking
blocks roads, causes accidents and makes people very angry. Sometimes they cannot get into their
own homes because someone has left their car in the way. The problem has got so great in some
cities that cars are now banned from some areas. A recent You Tube video showed one city mayor in
Eastern Europe had created a unique solution. He drove a tank over a car which was illegally parked
and crushed it! When the driver of the car returned he could not believe what had happened to his car.
The mayor just said This is what happens if you break the law in my city!
In fact the video was a fake. The mayor said, I made this film to show people that having a car doesnt
give people the right to park it anywhere they want. He has received hundreds of messages from
people all over the world saying that the idea should be introduced in their cities! [20]
