Furthermore

which already used by people and renovating these

have less cost than

of a whole new railway.
However

, the advantages of investment in

are remarkably overweight.
First

,
railways

are more eco-friendly than

in various ways. The technology of using electronic trains, which expanded day-by-day, results in less use of natural resources, and
also

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.
