Increase the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

In recent years, great attention has been given to prevent
pollution
issues in our society.In
this
essay, the arguments will be carefully examined to support my opinion. I tend to disagree with the statement of increasing the fuel rate to solve increasing
traffic
and air contamination.
Firstly
, the petrol industry plays a huge part in the world economy. Increasing the price will definitely have an impact in many other sectors too.
Thus
this
will reduce the
traffic
but economy-wise will have to face many several problems.
Moreover
Add a comma
,Moreover
show examples
many people may lose their jobs if the usage of petrol decreases.,
However
Add a comma
,However
show examples
there is an ongoing debate whether increasing the rate of petrol will reduce air
pollution
or not. I truly believe it will partially help.
For example
, people will start cycling or walking
instead
of driving. In ,addition
this
could help them to maintain their health.
Secondly
, I would like to discuss other measures that I think will be effective to solve the issues that we are facing here. I suggest improving the public transport system would help with both problems we are facing.
For instance
, expand the railway structure in all cities and
also
rural areas. It will help people from owning their own vehicles.
Eventually
Add a comma
,Eventually
show examples
we can see the difference in
traffic
. In conclusion, I truly believe that increasing fuel will not make any difference to the
traffic
nor
pollution
. We should create awareness focusing on harmful
pollution
and how we can prevent that for a better tomorrow.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
