Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
Your city's Environment protection department is conducting a survey to bring in revolutionary changes in the transport system. The department has sent out an opinion survey to see what residents feel about the given options
Option A: Governments should spend money on the development of public transportation systems.
Environment Survey :
Option B: it is better to spend money on the development of electric and other types of cars that may cause less pollution.
Even though each of these options has its own merit, I would like to go with option A. I can understand the argument of those who are favouring option B. They might say that we need cars because cars give us the flexibility to move conveniently, but we have to remember that this convenience is coming at a cost. Even if one uses an electric vehicle, one wouldn't be able to avoid traffic congestion on roads. It is natural. If everybody uses a car, congestion is bound to happen, and it will lead to delay and eventually to frustration, which is not suitable for our health. On the other hand, if we opt for a better public transportation system, I believe we will be in a better position. For example, if we get a sky train line in Victoria, it will be easier for us to commute during rush hours. There will be zero traffic jams and no delay. On top of that, electric trains are also suitable for our environment. Hence, I would like to go with option A. However, this is just my opinion, and I will support whatever decision is made.
