 Example
SHOULD CARS BE BANNED FROM THE CITY ?

Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create

pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.

Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in

the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis,
lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ of asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad
that people can die from them.

Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere

and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die.
Cars today are our roads biggest killers.

Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it
hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your homework, and especially
talk to someone.

In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons listed.
 Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution,

In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reasons
listed
 Cars should be banned from the city center at least in the biggest cities
because they bring on more problems than benefits. Pollution is the top one major
drawback, along with traffic jams and a relentless decrease in local commerce.

Firstly, it is widely known that cars are responsible for the highest levels of
carbon dioxide emissions, the most common greenhouse gas.

Secondly, public transportation should be the priority mean of commuting.

Even after the implementation of urban toll, London and São Paulo have reached
peaks of immobility in their centers in the last decades. London has fallen back on
bicycle routes and São Paulo has tried hard to work up subway and buses lines.

In addition to that, local commerce looses pedestrians and consequently

sales volume decreases. Local residents are forced to move out of the city center
making the area much more devaluated.

In some conditions, cars can be good for us if we want to go to a far

destination. But, in the other hand, cars become not good for human health caused
by the carbon dioxide emissions. What can we do now is, starting using public
transportation rather than private transportation. So, we have to know how to use
cars wisely for our life.
