Some people say that government should increase the tax on petrol in order to decrease traffic and pollution. Do you agree with this opinion?

#people #government #tax #petrol #decrease #traffic #pollution
There is no denying the fact that
tax
 on
petrol
 can be a debatable subject.
While
 it is a commonly held belief that some individuals believe that to decrease traffic and
pollution
 the government increase the
tax
 on
petrol
. there is
also
 an argument that opposes it. In my opinion, I consider that in order to decrease traffic and
pollution
 public
transportation
 will be one of the most effective solutions.
To begin
 with, Increased
tax
 on
petrol
 can discourage
people
 from driving and reduce traffic congestion.
In other words
, Higher
petrol
 prices can incentivize
people
 to use public
transportation
 or carpooling.
In addition
, The implementation of a higher
petrol
tax
 should help encourage individuals to use alternative options.
For example
,
Tax
 revenue from increased
petrol
tax
 can be used to fund alternative
transportation
 options and infrastructure. Another point to consider is that Higher
petrol
 prices can encourage
people
 to switch to more fuel-efficient vehicles. It is
also
 possible to say that, when they switch it will help in reducing
pollution
.
Moreover
, an Increased
tax
 on
petrol
 can help reduce air
pollution
 and its harmful effects on human health and nature.
For instance
, it will help in reducing the ozone Layer effect which will help in making the earth stronger and
last
 longer. In conclusion, despite
people
 having different views, I believe that the government should increase the
tax
 on
petrol
 because the positives of the decision outweigh its negatives, I suggest that the governments make programs that help to improve public
transportation
.

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
