Nowadays, many people drive to work or school instead of walking, cycling or using public transport. Does this trend have more advantages or more disadvantages?

Many
people
use
their
car
to get to
work
(reach their workplace/ commute to
work
)
instead
of using public transport or walking and cycling.
This
can be good for their comfort, but at the same time it is detrimental to the
environment
and traffic can be really annoying and a
lot
of times there are no parking places. That's why I believe there are more disadvantages,
however
, there are
also
some advantages.
Firstly
, using a
car
is more convenient for a
lot
of
people
, which can be considered

if it is really bad weather
people
would like to go with a
car
because it is more comfortable for them. Public transport is often crowded with
people
so there are not always enough places for everyone. In comparison, in the
car

go
a bike or walk to the place so it is logical and much faster to
use

However
, if
people
need to get somewhere on time a
car
is not always the best option. If a person has to go to school or
work
early there is probably going to be traffic so they have a chance of running late to the place they need to be at so it is clearly a disadvantage.
Moreover
, there is not always enough parking space for everyone and a
lot
of them are not free
as a result
people
need to look longer for parking space and have enough money to pay for it.
Furthermore
, using cars has a bad impact on the
environment
. Nowadays,
people
are talking a
lot
about how to take care of the
environment
and how to stop climate change. One of the most simple things that
people
can do is
use
their cars less because they pollute the air, which causes climate change and harmS
people
's health. In conclusion,apart from the advantages of
car
use
like comfort, I believe the disadvantages are more important because it harms the
environment
and
also
has a bad effect on
people
's health.
Also
, it is not so convenient as it might look like traffic and the expensive parking places are always a problem.

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.
