[IELTS WRITING - TASK 2 - HAVING A CAR] Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its advantages. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a car. Give reasons for your answer. MODEL ANSWER In our lives, we travel from one place to another for a great variety of reasons and while traveling we greatly depend on cars, whether it is a private car or a public bus. The number of car-owners increasing everyday because every person expects the freedom to travel and comfort while traveling. And that is why most of us want to own a car. However owning a car have many advantages and disadvantages as well. The main advantage of owning a car is it gives the freedom to travel. If you have a car then you dont need to be limited to fixed routes and timetables. Moreover, a car-owner can take is/her family members with him/her and other necessary goods whenever he/she wish which might have been impossible otherwise. In addition personal cars give comfort while traveling on the contrary to the public buses which are so crowded and disgusting. You can read books, listen to music or even can play with kids while you are in your own car but those all seems to be impossible in a public transport. On the contrary, owning a car is very expensive. The price of the car, the cost of the tax, insurance cost, fuel-cost, driver salary, car repairing etc. all must be considered before buying a car and that is why it is out of reach of the middle class people. Moreover, private cars can not carry many passengers at a time yet occupy spaces in the street. As the number of car is increasing in the road so does the traffic jam. Perhaps the major disadvantage of cars in general is the huge damage they do to the human health and to the environment. More cars mean more pollution. The environment pollution is a serious issue today and in any cost we must reduce the amount of pollution. And if we consider it then owning a car is never a good idea. To sum up, having a car gives someone freedom but if public transportation system is easily accessible, safe and efficient, then the idea of buying and owning a car should be abandoned.
