One possible version:

Owing to several hundred thousand traffic accidents, thousands of people lost their lives annually in China. A survey conducted in 2009 showed that the car accidents were still increasing at a very high rate.

As far as I’m concerned, there are several reasons for the high increase of the traffic accidents.

Firstly, the fast growing number of private cars may cause severe traffic jams and car accidents. If a large number of private cars rush onto the streets，the already dense traffic will suffer more. Secondly, Drunk driving may be a deadly killer. Thirdly, some drivers ignore the speed limit and drive too fast.

Then，by what means shall we decrease the traffic accidents in China? My first suggestion is to develop adequate public transportation which is effective and punctual. Meanwhile, we should punish the drink drivers. Punishments should range from a large fine to imprisonment. Last but not least, we should stick to the speed limit and drive safely.
