77.As countries develop, more and more people buy and use their own cars. Do you think the advantages of this trend for individuals outweigh the disadvantages for the environment?

It is argued that an increasing number of people are purchasing their own

cars

.

This

essay would argue that despite it being easier to travel around, it causes huge damage to the environment, which means that the advantages do not outweigh the disadvantages. The main advantage of buying a private

car

is that it is easier for individuals to travel around.

This

is because public

transport

may take a longer time and many changes in

transport

may be needed to get to the destination, so by

car

is quicker and easier.

Also

, there are many

cars

that are cheap, which is affordable by almost everyone, and sometimes using

cars

can be cheaper than using other means of

transport

.

For example

, in some European countries, people prefer to use the

car

because they do not often go to far places, and using one or two times public

transport

is more expensive than using a

car

.

However

, new public

transport

routes are being created, so people can get to more places, so

this

is not a significant benefit. The disadvantage is that the increasing number of vehicles on roads is increasing contamination.

This

is because there are more

cars

emitting gas, and need more fuel, and

this

causes air pollution, reducing the fresh air,

as a consequence

, new diseases related to the respiratory system are found, and

this

causes life danger to all humans. Recent research concluded that in the

last

decades, there has been an increase in cases of asthma and other respiratory-related diseases caused by the increase in air pollution.

Therefore

, I would argue that the drawbacks of the increasing number of private

cars

are more significant than the benefits. In conclusion,

although

cars

may simplify routes,

this

development damages the planet, for these reasons, the negatives far outnumber the positives.
