TASK B: WRITING PARAGRAPHS (10%)

Write a persuasive paragraph based on this topic given below.

Using one’s own mode of transportation has more advantages than using public transportation.
Do you agree? Write a paragraph of 150 – 200 words.

No, I am not agreeing with using one’s own mode of transportation has more advantages than using
public transportation. Public transport and private transport have their own benefit and advantage, so they
are often compared. Personally, I think public transport has more advantages than private transportation.
The first advantage of public transport is improved community health. This is because urban planners
have been looking to public transit for years to help with community health and wellness improvements.
People taking public transport must walk from their front doors to the closet stop and return, increasing
physical activity and assisting in the fight against the current obesity epidemic. In actually, People taking
public transport may allow individuals to fulfill the necessary 30minutes of daily physical exercise.
Therefore, using public transport also has economic benefits to the community. This is because walking
to a transportation station is more convenient than driving since people may more easily pause for a snake
or a cup of coffee. Small business can gain from this as well. Additionally, if a homeowner wants to sell a
house, they could get a better price if it’s close to a stop for public transit. This is advantage for both the
seller and the city’s general tax base.
