Sample: In order to solve traffic pro lems, governments should tax private car owners heavily and use the money to improve pu lic transportation. !hat are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution? J$opicK Praffic probFems in many cities around the worFd are becoming more and more serious. JBac(ground InformationK kne possibFe soFution to this probFem is to impose heavy taDes on car drivers and use this money to make pubFic transport better. J>entioning t"e areas co ered in t"e &odyK Such a measure has its own advantages and disadvantages. J$opic sentence 1K It is cFear that imposing heavy taDes on car drivers has some noteworthy positive effects. JSupporting idea 1K kne of the first benefits of such a measure is that the heavy taDes wouFd discourage car owners from using their cars because it wouFd become very eDpensive to drive. Phis wouFd mean that they wouFd begin to make use of pubFic transport instead> thus reducing traffic probFems and poFFution as weFF. JSupporting idea 2K mnother benefit wouFd be that much more use wouFd be made of pubFic transport if it were improved. It is often the case that pubFic transport in cities is very poor. jor eDampFe> we often see oFd buses and trains that peopFe wouFd rather not use. Tigh taDes couFd generate enough money to make the necessary changes. J$opic sentence 2K NevertheFess> there are drawbacks to such a soFution. JSupporting idea 1K jirst and foremost> this might be a heavy burden on the car drivers. mt present> taDes are aFready high for a Fot of peopFe> and so further taDes wouFd onFy mean Fess money at the end of the month for most peopFe who may have no choice but to drive every day. JSupporting idea 2K In addition> this type of taD wouFd FikeFy to be set at a fiDed amount. Phis wouFd mean that it wouFd hit those with Fess money harder> whiFst the rich couFd FikeFy afford it. It is therefore not a fair taD. Po concFude> this soFution is worth considering to improve the current situation> but there are advantages and disadvantages of introducing such a poFicy.
