Some believe that traffic problems in cities can best be resolved by investing in urban infrastructure while others feel there are superior solutions. Discuss both sides

#believe #traffic #cities #infrastructure
People
 have different perspectives on whether
traffic
 issues can be resolved by investing in urban or whether
cities
 have other solutions. Some
people
 think that
traffic
 problems in
cities
 can be improved by developing urban infrastructure, while others believe that
cities
 have other ways to improve them.
To begin
 with, recently many
cities
 around the globe have seen a significant increase in
traffic
,
therefore
 one way to deal with it is to move
traffic
 from
cities
 to urban areas by improving their infrastructure.
People
 mostly live in areas where they have access to all kinds of facilities and
thus
cities
 became the centre of attraction.
However
, if the same facilities can be provided in different urban towns
then
people
 will definitely want to move to those places as no one wants to live in the bustling life of a city.
For example
, what
people
 need is health, education and work and if these facilities are offered in villages no one would want to stay in big
cities
.
On the other hand
, it is thought that
cities
 have a lot more to offer to deal with the rise in
traffic
 congestion. Most of the city's congestion is mainly because of the working class and to tackle
this
traffic
 issue government needs to encourage workers to choose public transport as their mode of transport.
In addition
 to it, governments could introduce heavy toll charges to discourage them from using their own transport.
For instance
, recently Korean government announced free travel to all its workers on working days which resulted in a reduction of
traffic
 by 50%. In conclusion, some
people
 believe that urban infrastructure development is the only solution to deal with the
traffic
 problems, while others think
cities
 have still a lot to offer.

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
