task achievement
The essay does not adhere strictly to the parameters of the task. The question requires a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of government promoting public transport, while discouraging private vehicle ownership. The test taker has deviated significantly from this by discussing personal opinions and general thoughts on transportation, not specifically addressing the government's role or the discouragement of private vehicle ownership.
coherence and cohesion
The essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion which impacts its logical structure. There are also no clear paragraph breaks to separate ideas.
coherence and cohesion
The main points about money saving and pollution are supported, but the essay would benefit from more developed examples and a deeper analysis of each point.
