To reduce problems
such
 as
traffic
 and
pollution
,
people
 believe increasing the petrol price is one of the best solutions. I trust that
this
 explanation alone is not an ideal way,
therefore
, I will provide other explanations. First of all, increasing the
fuel
 fee will not impact to solve the real quick fix. It is because
this
 answer could lead to higher transportation costs and majorities may not be happy as commodities prices will increase as the effect of higher transportation cost.
This
 will
also
 impact

their daily lives which could lead to protests.
Therefore
,
this
 idea is not a good solution.
On the other hand
, other viable solutions can
also
 be implemented by the government.
For example
, authorities should encourage to use

 consumption.
In addition
 to
this
, it is
also
 important to provide reliable and affordable public transport systems
such
 as trains and buses. If
people
 were using more on public transport system, fewer
people
 would be on the road.
Moreover
, the government should encourage the public to use bicycles, especially in most

 areas.
This
 will help to reduce
traffic
 flow and reduce the use of
fuel
.
In addition
, increasing tax on car users is
also
 another solution to reduce the
traffic
 and
pollution
 issues
although
 some
people
 may not agree with it.
Therefore
, it is now clear that alternative answers are
also
 available to tackle the problems of
traffic
 flow and higher
pollution
.
To sum up
, higher
traffic
 and
pollution
 problems are considered as a big issue, and increasing the
fuel
 price to end
this
 mess may not be one of the best answers,
therefore
, the government should find the possible answers which are aligned with the public opinion prior to implementation. They should
also
 find these solutions that are both viable and realistic.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
