The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Since the

appeared in Britain in 1888, the world as changed, and the

car

ownership has increased significantly and in 2000 the number of vehicles on British roads was around 29 million.

Cars are considered

Cars are considered as

essential for people’s independence and

this

is because people work far away from their

they often need to go to the city for different reasons

or buying goods for the month. But people

use

their cars to travel small distances when they clearly could do that distance by walking. And

emission which causes air pollution, so we should find alternative forms of transport. To fight

, governments should encourage people to

public transportation like trains or buses.

This

way they would fight traffic problems because there would be less cars circulating. To encourage people to

use

public transports, governments should lower the transportation fees and create more schedules, so everyone could be able to

use

these transports, and limit the number of vehicles which could circulate in the cities during the day like they do in Athens. There should be

also

an obligation to get our cars checked to look for the levels of

gases

Suggestion

gas

emission and the cars which produced high levels of harmful gases should be prohibited of circulating and people whom were caught riding one of these cars should be fined. People should

also

be encouraged to walk and to ride a bicycle more often to do smaller distances. In conclusion, I truly believe that we should find alternative ways of transportation and governments should create international laws to control

car

ownership and

, because there are air pollution problems associated both with the

production industry and the

usage Governments should

also

make laws to control the production of cars and make the alternative
