Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents. Others , however , believe that other measures would be more effective in improving road safety. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People have different views with regard to the question of how making our roads safer

Accept space

In my view

Accept space

both punishments and a range of other measures can be used together to promote better driving habits. On the one hand

Accept space

strict punishments can certainly help to encourage people to drive more safely. Penalties for dangerous drivers can act as a deterrent

Accept space

meaning that people avoid repeating the same offence

Accept space

There are various types of driving penalty

Accept space

such

as small fines

Accept space

license suspension

Accept space

driver awareness courses

Accept space

and even prison sentences

Accept space

The aim of these punishments is to show dangerous drivers that their actions have negative consequences.

As a result

Accept space

we would hope that drivers become more disciplined and alert

Accept space

and that they follow the rules more carefully.

On the other hand

Accept space

I believe that safe driving can be promoted in several different ways that do not punish drivers.

Firstly

Accept space

it is vitally important to educate people properly before they start to drive

Accept space

and

this

could be done in schools or even as a part of an extended or more difficult driving test

Accept space

Secondly

Accept space

more attention could be paid to safe

road

design

Accept space

For example

Accept space

signs can be used to warn people

Accept space

speed bumps and

road

bends can be added to calm traffic

Accept space

and speed cameras can help to deter people from driving too quickly

Accept space

Finally

, governments or local councils could reduce

road

accidents by investing in better public transport

Accept space

which would mean that fewer people would need to travel by car. In conclusion

Accept space

while punishments can help to prevent bad driving

Accept space

I believe that other

road

safety measures should

also

be introduced.

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
