Some people think that cars should be banned from large cities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Some people believe that numerous major cities across the world are facing problems with the increasing number of cars and that it should be banned completely. In
this
essay, I largely disagree with
this
approach.
First
of all, there are many benefits of cars, as it provides a comfortable and safe journey, especially when travelling long journeys.
Furthermore
, it saves time, which is much needed in today's fast paced life where people give utmost importance to the faster means of transport for attending school, events and business meetings. By travelling in own car, one can be saved from the viral infections that can be easily caught while travelling in a public transport.
Lastly
, during emergency conditions in the late hours, where a patient has to reach hospital quickly, cars come out to be handy option. Looking at these benefits, it would not be good to stop people using cars, as it invokes hard feelings among people affluent enough to own car and can
also
the economy of the city and
subsequently
the country.
However
, there are some problems caused by the increasing number of cars
such
as congestion, traffic and an increase in the pollution level. Cars move at a snail's pace during peak hours which increases travel time manifolds.
Then
, due to increased pollution, issues like global warming and climate change have become burning issues. To conclude, it is not a wise decision to stop people using the cars, as it saves time while travelling long journeys and there are other benefits associated, but, I think the government should encourage people to not use cars for short distances and should provide aid in the form of subsidy to encourage the people in buying environment-friendly cars.

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
