Some people think the governments should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles in order to solve environmental problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is a view of many people that in order to save nature from emissions, the price of fuel should be increased to minimize the use of cars and motorbikes. I completely agree that imposing taxes or raise the prices of fuel is an optimal solution by promoting other available resources for t

with minimum carbon footprint to enhance environmental conditions.
Firstly
, transport is an essential part of urban life, and inconvenient or lengthy journeys are frustrating for those concerned.
Furthermore
, people tend to travel long distances for work or leisure, as we see in most metropolitan cities
such
as Karachi or Lahore, where too many vehicles use the existing road network, and congestion is inevitable.
Consequently
, many conurbations
also
lack finance for transport-hubs
such
as integrated road and rail facilities which could facilitate people with public-transport, hopefully leading to an absence of problems
such
as bottlenecks and carbon emissions.
This
could easily be tackled with imposing taxes and regulations on fuel, especially for private vehicles so that the state could utilize that income for building infrastructure as was applied successfully in Turkey during the 1990s.
Lastly
, with less cars on the roads, the would be a decrease in hazardous gases, which would lessen the burden for healthcare systems, dealing with the patients with respiratory diseases.
In addition
to that, minimum drivers on the roads mean less chances of accidents, leading to convenience and stress-free travelling for most of the people.
For instance
, in most western countries, the high prices of taxi fares encourage people to travel in public buses which promotes green environmental conditions. In conclusion, while high prices of petrol might facilitate people who can actually afford comfort, the people with the least resources could take more advantage of state-sponsored public buses and save a significant money on their health and transport.

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
