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?

It is commonly believed that increasing oil prices

are
the most effective method to reduce
polution

pollution
and eliminate traffic. I strongly agree with
this
economic-based approach. I
also
think it is necessary to improve public
transport
and to provide better infrastructure for bicycles. The increase in petrol prices will help reduce traffic by making personal cars less affordable and
thus
decrease their use. A positive by-product of decreasing the number of cars

from a particular thing or place or position
off
the roads is that less pollutants will be exhausted into the atmosphere.
This
will provide incentive for citizens to find less expensive alternatives
such
as public
transport
, cycling, or even walking.
This
policy,

, cannot be

without improving public

and providing better infrastructure for cyclists. The key behind
this
approach is to discourage people from using their cars and to encourage them to find

alternative for transportation.
In other words

this
approach is only effective if other

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
