Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

In recent times, raising the price of fuel has sparked great debates about whether it is the most effective approach for dealing with
traffic
and environmental problems or not. I believe that it is definitely not the most proper
way
;
however
, providing a good public
transportation
can better solve these problems.
To begin
with, I disagree with increasing the expense of using
car
Suggestion
the car
a car
cars
. A compelling reason for
this
is that
this
method does not reduce
traffic
congestion as well as does not abate any
pollution
since only the impoverished do not afford private
transportation
.
In contrast
, middle-class people are still willing to pay for
this
, while prosperous citizens even use more petrol.
For example
, a news once said that when Chinese government had arisen the fuel price, Chinese citizen still lived in the same
way
.
Accordingly
,
this
method is not the best
way
to deal with these problems, and
thus
, we require another method.
On the other hand
, I feel that a good and affordable public
transportation
is the most effective solution.
This
is because, people in every social class
wants

want
to use public
transportation
, which is quick and cheap to avoid
traffic
.
For instance
, a
latest
Suggestion
later
study found that, in Bangkok, public sky train is 50% faster than a car.
In addition
, almost every modern public
transportation
used electricity, so it does not create any
pollution
.
Therefore
, it is no doubt that public
transportation
is a better
way
to solve
traffic
and
pollution
problems. In conclusion, I think that increasing the price of petrol does not help with decreasing
traffic
and abating
pollution
since doing
this
only inhibit the use of private car of a certain group of people.
On the contrary
, giving effective and reliable electric public
transportation
is better at solving the problems.

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.
