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?

The
last
century saw a huge increase in numbers of cars on roads due to the rapid advancement in technology and the increase in purchasing power of people.
This
trend has a numerous negative effects on society and its inhabitants, so
i
refers to the speaker or writer
I
completely agree with the promotion of public
transport
and enforcement of international laws, in order to reduce the increasing numbers of cars. Large number of cars have become a source of comfort for many, but adverse effects are uncountable than the facilities they provide.
Firstly
, the increased number of cars, undoubtedly, become a source of air pollution; more cars mean more pollution. The only way to tackle
this
issue is by the promotion of public
transport
.
For instance
, if ten people tend to travel by car they at least fit in more than two vehicles, but if they travel by bus, it will take only one.
Secondly
, consumption of
fuel
is paramount now and it is believed that if the same amount of
fuel
keeps on consuming,
fuel
will vanish in the coming century. In
this
regard, more vehicle consumes more
fuel
, and the vice versa.
Finally
, it
also
creates imbalance in the society by creating a difference of rich and poor among the people.
Therefore
, alternative ways of
transport
are preferable to use in order to maintain a balance in every aspect of society. International laws could
also
help to make the situation better. It is the duty of world organizations to create an equilibrium among nations by creating
such
laws which discourage people to buy more personal cars and use the public
transport
.
For example
, international lawmakers should make a policy that a person cannot buy more than two cars if he has to buy more than two, impose a high tax on that which could be used for the welfare of poor and needy. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that with the promotion of alternative ways of transportation, along with the involvement of international laws, it is possible to reduce the number of cars on the roads which is a constant threat of air pollution and the complete consumption of
fuel
from the planet earth.

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
