car ownership has increased so rapidly over the past thirty years that many cities in the world are now 'one big traffic jam' How true do you think this statement is? what measures can governments take to discourage people from using their cars?

Car ownership by individuals has been increasing dramatically over the
last
few decades in major developing countries and is apparently leading to one of the dominant unsolvable problems for governments today. I completely agree with the above statement. One of the easiest ways to implement long-term changes in car use is to develop public
transport
. Public
transport
can significantly reduce the use of private cars for
transport
.
However
, the
transport
system must be efficient, effective and easy to understand. Switzerland as a whole is a very good example. The
transport
system they have built focuses on ease of use, which is ensured by the stability of the offer, regularity of operation and repeatability. Switzerland has built
this
system over many years, but it is now rated as the best in the world by users. A second aspect that can have an impact on reducing problems with the number of vehicles used in a city is urban planning policy. The term itself refers to the way cities are set up, which has an extremely high impact on the quality of life, including traffic congestion, in the future. An example of how important
this
issue is is the financial district in Warsaw called Mordor, which was intensively developed 30 years ago with virtually only office buildings.
This
mono-building caused very high human flows into and out of the district. Many cities,
such
as Amsterdam, can boast a much better spatial planning model. In
this
city, officials have for years made sure that each neighbourhood provides as many of the services people need as possible, i.e. that people have the opportunity to find work, go shopping, go to the park, etc. in the immediate vicinity of where they live. Of course, the proposals outlined above take time and money and are invisible to the public in the short term, but only comprehensive, thoughtful solutions can effectively reduce or completely solve the problem.

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
