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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

In 1886, the
first
modern
car
was invented by Karl Benz and the
first
car
appeared on British roads in 1888. Cars became widely available in the 20th century. By the
year
2000, there were may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Public transport should be encouraged and international laws introduce to control the amount of
car
ownership
and
use
. I totally agree with
this
suggestion because too many cars on roads can cause pollution, increment of accident as while as a waste of resources. The usage of
car
Suggestion
a car
the car
is one of the core reasons of pollution. Cars can exhaust pollutant gas
such
as carbon dioxide, sulphide, and nitrogen. All these gases can pollute our air and affect our environment by causing global warming, ozone depletion as while as acid rainfalls.
For example
, New Delhi, one of the cities that has the most cars in the world, the air condition there is chronically worst. Every breaths that the people breath in every minute equal to two packs of cigarette. According to a scientific research, due to overused of cars, our temperature has increased from 27 degrees to 33 degrees in 20 years time. The melting of ice shelves, desertion and climate change are indirectly caused by the overused of cars. The
ownership
and
use
of
car
should be controlled to protect our motherland from being polluted.
Besides
that, the amount of traffic accident has shown great increment since cars gain fame. There are too many cars on the road right now and
this
situation has caused heavy traffic jams especially during peak hour. All drivers drive fiercely to be able to reach their destination on time. It is a usual phenomenon to see drivers speeding and ran a red light.
Furthermore
, drivers get frustrated easily due to hectic heavy jams and they may not make the right judgment while driving. All these issues are causing the increment of traffic accidents nowadays. So, public transports should be encouraged and international laws should be introduced to restrict
car
ownership
and usage to ensure the safety of all road users.
Moreover
, cars nowadays are bought due to satisfied desire and
this
cause waste of resources. To product a
car
, we need materials
such
as metal, iron and rubber. Most of these are not renewable resources. Cars
also
need to pump petrol or diesel to be able to generate. We should cherish all these precious resources for other meaningful usages. In the other hand,
car
's tyres need to be changed every
year
. Imagine, a
car
need to change 4 tyres a
year
. There are millions of cars around the world. We create so many not recycled tyres every
year
and all these are thrown into our ocean. The government must limit the purchase and usage of
car
Suggestion
cars
the car
and promote public transport. In conclusion, the invention of
car
Suggestion
the car
has brought a lot of convenience to our life. There are costs and benefits of
car
use
. Overloaded amount of vehicles has become a headache to British's society. Government should take some relevant actions to promote public transportation and implement laws to control automobile
ownership
and
use
.

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
