The gridlock and pollution are highly concerned in many developing cities with the high rise of the population. For many people, including myself, agree that raising petrol' price is the best solution to solve the problem effectively.
Nevertheless

, building more roads is a well-known way that can be used.
First

of all, increasing the cost of petrol is a magnificent way, when the rise of population in the cities like Ho Chi Minh City is the reason for the high used by traffic and creating many gridlock jams.
Moreover

, the pollution coming from that has been rated to be the highest in the world, according to AirVisual 2019. That's why in the

bringing many benefits in both economy and environmental protection. With the rise in transportation numbers, highways, bridges, overpasses have to be built to be suitable for the crowded travel and reduce the traffic accidents.
For example

, Ho Chi Minh City in the
last

year had claimed to build more than ten important structures at the entrances of the city, ports and airports, which solve the city's transport efficiently. All of them are overpasses at big interactions, more lanes for highways and freeways and more road directly to the busy airport. In conclusion, the high price of petrol and high amount of infrastructure might be a significant solution, but the awareness and responsibility of the citizen are more necessary to make our city more green and safe.

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
