as well as
the merits of building more and wider

Firstly
, when trains and subways are made, they can help in reducing the number of

on the highway.
For instance
, It has been observed that developed countries like the USA hardly suffer from
such
problems,
this
is because they have many
railway
systems
which are being used effectively by the citizens, leading to few figures for
people
on the
road
.
However
in undeveloped countries like Nigeria, where there are very few numbers of available

stations and

, many residents suffer on a daily basis, consuming more hours on the

On the other hand
, the introduction of

systems
will help to reduce the
rate
of

on the
road
. In fact, adding some new
roads
with wider space will be the best solution for tackling
this

problem, as
this
will help to curtail the
rate
at which

occurs in the whole country.
Therefore
, with a limited amount of space available on the
roads
, which accommodates fewer numbers of vehicles, there tends to be
congestions

on the
road
. As more and more motors try to force their way out, thereby leading to a disorganized
road
and more accidents occurrence.
For instance
, in places like Onitsha, Anambra state, where they only have small and narrow
roads
, it has been noticed that
people
spend about 4 hours on the
road
, on a journey
that is
not supposed to be more than 30-40 minutes.
This
is because their
roads
are so small to accommodate more
people
, thereby leading to the

are built, there will be free movement of vehicles and fewer hours spent on the

this

people
and vehicles on the

can be made,

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.
