Road

safety has become a great concern for people with the rise of accidents and fatality those accidents cause every day. People have a varying opinion on how to make roads safe and I believe strict laws should be there to punish the driving offenders but a combination of other methods would bring better results. On the one hand, people seem to abide by a law or rule when they know that violation would bring severe retribution.

For instance

, in some Asian countries pedestrians used to cross the roads and when a more rigid penalty has been imposed, those very people started using the underpass. From

this

perspective, strict penalty and fine can certainly improve the

road

safety as people would be more cautious and afraid of the consequence of the violation of the

traffic

laws. As an outcome, it is a fact that, the sterner the punishment, the greater chances that people would follow the rules.

On the other hand

, there are already severe punishments for driving offenders, including ceasing the driving license, monetary fines and imprisonments. Despite

this

, the number of

road

accidents is increasing every year.

This

is why I believe that only punishment cannot ensure the

road

security and safety. A combination of other initiatives is

also

required.

First

, we need to aware people about the devastating consequences

traffic

rule violations can bring to our lives.

Second

, the requirements for passing the driving test should be standardised and made more practical, especially in developing countries where people can use advantages of the corruption. It is often noticed that many young people are given driving license without scrutinising their experience and skills.

This

should be completely avoided and after a certain period, each driver should be retested.

Third

, unfit vehicles should not be allowed to run on the roads as these cars cause more

accidents according

Accept comma addition

accidents, according

to the recent

Road

Transport Authority report.

Finally

, the

traffic

system of a country should be modernised and more surveillance cameras and speed test cameras should be there. To conclude, punishment to

traffic

rule violators is a good way to make the

road

safer, but the combination of other steps would bring more desired results

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

“By definition, charity is generosity in offering money, food, and help to the needy. To some people, such kindness should be boundless, others argue for a limit to it.” Which opinion do you support? In about 300 words, present your arguments.
As a member of MDPI Open Access journal Fermentation, my role in an international publishing house has offered me a panoramic view of multiculturalism's rich tapestry. Over the past five years, I have engaged with colleagues from a spectrum of European and Asian cultures, navigating the intricacies of cross-cultural communication and collaboration. My commitment to diversity and inclusion materialized through spearheading a workshop that united over 40 colleagues from 10 different countries, creating a vibrant forum for exchanging cultural narratives and fostering mutual understanding. This initiative not only bridged cultural divides but also catalyzed a series of departmental policies to embrace diversity in our editorial processes.

Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Nowadays, almost every person prefers to keep a pet at their home and share a special bond with them. Few of us handle them with so much love that they treat their pets as their family member. In my opinion, this is the right approach towards them as they equally need care and affection same as humans, however, it should not be forgotten that animals can turn into danger at times.

Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. Others think that the true function of a university should be to give access to knowledge for its own sake, regardless of whether the course is useful to an employer. what, in your opinion, should be the main function of a university?
While a group of people think that is better for universities to give certificates with knowledge and ability to their students another group believes only accessibility to information is enough. I strongly agree with the first group because of some reason that I`m going to mention them.
