IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample Answer: Traffic and Road Safety (Real Test)

by Dave | Cambridge 13 | 3 Comments

I wrote this  IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample Answer based on a real question from the test. I’m not sure exactly why but it seems that traffic and road safety questions come up all the time on IELTS!

This question asks to what extent you agree or disagree so you have 3 choices: you can agree, you can disagree or you can agree and disagree., no matter what you must say your opinion at the end – you cannot sit in the middle or you will get a band 5 for task achievement, my other sample answers are here if you are interested – featuring real past tests and the cambridge ielts series as well., learn more about my patreon exclusive essays here., ielts examiner sample answer from cambridge 13: traffic and road safety (by dave), some people believe that the best way to increase the road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars., to what extent do you agree or disagree, many are of the opinion that raising the age at which people can get driving licenses is the best way to make roads safer. although this will help prevent some accidents due to inexperience, i strongly feel that it is more important to focus on safer roads through improved urban planning., the main justification that proponents of raising the age at which people can drive will often cite is the number of accidents attributed to inexperience. in the usa, most teenagers get their driving permit around age 16. there are a couple of factors that can lead a 16 year-old to cause more accidents than someone in their 20s. the first is that they simply do no have as much road experience. they have only dealt with a limited number of experiences and are more likely to make poor decisions at pivotal moments. the other reason is that many american teenagers begin drinking alcohol around this age even though the legal age is 21. teenagers are notoriously irresponsible and they have not developed strategies for handling alcohol when driving. all people, when drunk, are dangerous but it is especially dangerous if they are inexperienced in terms of both alcohol and driving., even though these are valid points, i do no think they outweigh the number of accidents that poor urban planning and infrastructure cause. there will always be other causes that include young drivers, driving while under the influence and road rage but the only factor that plays a hand in nearly all accidents relates to how the roads have been planned. take the city of new orleans for example. the urban planners in new orleans constructed the city with almost entirely one-way streets. this may make it inconvenient at times but it has also resulted in one of the lowest accident rates in the usa. it has also allowed for the construction of parallel streetcars that have also greatly reduced the number of accidents. cities around the world have replicated this approach by increasing the number of one-way streets and working streetcars into the city plan and seen reciprocal declines in vehicular accidents., i believe that urban planning, despite not being a well-publicized cause, is the main source of most accidents around the world and raising the legal driving age would have little real impact. the more cities that begin to focus their attention on the causes, rather than the symptoms, of accidents the safer our roads will be for ourselves and future generations., ielts examiner sample answer analysis, 1. many are of the opinion that raising the age at which people can get driving licenses is the best way to make roads safer. 2. although this will help prevent some accidents

– short and simple please, 2. my second sentence begins a specific example – always be specific with your examples, 3. the third sentence develops the example – always develop your specific examples as much as possible, 4. the fourth sentence continues to develop the same example., 5. my fifth sentence also continues to develop the example., 6. the sixth sentence further develops the same example – focus on one example and develop it fully, 7. my seventh sentence develops the example further and links it back to why this is dangerous., 8. the eighth sentence concludes the paragraph emphasising why young people are more likely to get into accidents., 1. even though these are valid points, i do no think they outweigh the number of accidents that poor urban planning and infrastructure cause. 2. there will always be other causes that include young drivers, driving while under the influence and road rage but the only factor that plays a hand in nearly all accidents relates to how the roads

write short, accurate sentences – not every sentence has to be long and complex, 4. my fourth sentence develops this example., 5. my fifth sentence continues to develop this example., 6. the sixth sentence is still developing the example by drawing some conclusions, 7. my seventh sentence make this more general and concludes the whole paragraph., 1. i believe that urban planning, despite not

The essay questions below have been written based on common topics in IELTS. Some questions have been reported in the IELTS test by students.

In some cities and towns all over the world, the high volume of traffic is a problem. What are the causes of this and what actions can be taken to solve this problem? (Reported 2017, Academic Test)

Some people think that in order to solve traffic and transportation problems people should be encouraged to live in cities rather than in suburbs or in the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (Reported 2017, Academic Test)

The impact that the growing demand for more flights has had on the environment is a major concern for many countries.  Some people believe that one way to limit the number of people travelling by air is to increase  tax on flights. To what extent do you think this could solve the problem?

Some people think that it should be compulsory for people to retake their driving test every 5 years. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

Some people think an international car-free day is an effective way to reduce air pollution. Others think there are more effective ways do to this. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. (Reported 2017, Academic Test)

One way to solve the problem of congestion on the roads is to increase the tax on private vehicles. How could this alleviate congestion? What other measures can you suggest to deal with congestion in cities?

Some people think that in order to deal with the problem of congestion in cities, privately owned vehicles should be banned in city centers, while others consider this to be an unrealistic solution. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

A poor infrastructure hinders under-developed countries from progressing and modernising. Some people think that this should be the first problem tackled by foreign aid. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

One way to solve the problem of congestion in cities is to build sky trains which run overhead rather than on or under the ground. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this solution to solve congestion?

Reported essay questions are from students who have taken their IELTS test. These questions may vary slightly in wording from the original question.

IELTS Writing Task 2 – Topic: TRAFFIC

ielts writing topics 2019

1.  Traffic and housing problems in major cities could be solved by moving large companies and factories and their employees to the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Sample Answer

These days with increasing urban populations, there are major problems with  congestion and not only the price, but also availability of accommodation in large cities  of the world. It seems that one possible solution could be to relocate large companies  and factories as well as their respective employees out of these urban areas and into  more rural ones. In my opinion, I strongly agree that this would have a desired effect in  making cities more livable.

To begin with, the traffic problem in cities doesn’t only exist from commuting employees,  but also the general public travelling around the city. While this may be a fact, if the  number of worker’s vehicles is reduced on city streets, a large percentage of traffic will  obviously decline in rush hours. For example, peak hour traffic is undoubtedly made up  largely of staff from companies going to and from home.

Secondly, in regards to housing problems, populations will always continue to grow in  cities and therefore inadvertently decrease the number of cheap and available  apartments. This is certainly obvious, however, a large proportion of these apartments  are occupied by employees from large firms and their families. If this workforce is  relocated to housing estates in the country, city apartment blocks will fall in price and  certainly increase in availability.

In conclusion, by relocating workers to rural areas to work and reside, heavy traffic  conditions and lack of adequate accommodation in city centres will obviously change for  the better. As far as I’m concerned, I agree that the government should enforce such a  law in order to increase our standard of living in our hectic city life.

2.  Every day traffic seems to get worse on our roads. How can we reduce the number of cars on our roads today? What alternatives can we offer car drivers?

The more people that there are in the world, the more cars there are on the road.  People are richer too and often families have more than one car. It has been proved  that building more roads does not work; it just encourafes more traffic.

So, what can we do? People like their cars and the freedom and independence that  cars give them. One possibility would be to raise car taxes and fuel taxes so that people  do not want to spend the extra money. Taxes on new car sales as well could be increased in order to discourage people from buying. Perhaps a used car sales tax  could be introduced too. In the same way motorways could have tolls charged for using  them although this may just increase congestion on smaller roads as people try and  avoid the motorways. The government that introduces such ideas will not be popular  though and would probably lose power. Governments would therefore be unlikely to set  up such new measures.

I think it would be better to try and change people‛s attitudes and offer them  alternatives. Educate them more about the pollution and waste that they are causing.  Persuade them to car share, use public transport or even cycle if the distances are not  too long. Countries such as Holland and Denmark are well known for how their citizens  are passionate about green issues and how they use bicycles when they can.

Reducing traffic is a difficult task. I don‛t think it is possible realistically to reduce car  numbers but I do think that we can change people‛s attitudes and get them to use  different ways of travelling.

Sample Answer band 7.5+

Road accidents have always been a significant matter of concern, so much so that there is an idea that says the problem can only be solved by punishing driving offenders very strictly. However, I do not think this is the only solution, although it could be somewhat effective.

On the one hand, it could be helpful to apply serious penalties to reduce the risk of traffic accidents. Theoretically, this not only can prevent lawbreakers from driving thoughtlessly again but also can warn other people against doing that. For example, since 2019, when Vietnam laid down strict legislation on alcohol consumption control, the number of crashes caused by drunkenness has decreased. According to this law, drivers will receive a fine of at least 85 USD for motorcycles and 255 USD for cars if their blood or breath contains alcohol, besides having their driving licence confiscated.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned solution is not always successful, hence an alternate measure should be proposed. Research conducted in Queensland, Australia, in 2019 shows that traffic infringements did not decrease despite the imposition of serious penalties, suggesting that people’s aggressive driving habits were not successfully deterred. Therefore, another measure is needed, and from my perspective, we ought to think about banning private vehicles, at least in a number of areas. This not only contributes to the reduction of road accident risks but also helps to ease environmental problems.

In brief, imposing strict punishments on driving offences could be helpful, but only to a certain extent. Since this method cannot defeat reckless driving, another proposal ought to be made, such as prohibiting personal vehicles.

IELTS Traffic Problems Essay

This is a traffic problems essay and the specific topic is the taxing of car drivers in order to reduce these problems.

You are asked to discuss the  advantages  and  disadvantages  of introducing such a policy to tackle the issue.

This question is very clear, and it does not specifically ask you for an opinion. You just need to look at both sides of the issue.

The logical way to answer it would be to discuss each side in a different paragraph.

Sample IELTS Writing

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

In order to solve traffic problems, governments should tax private car owners heavily and use the money to improve public transportation.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Write at least 250 words.

Traffic Problems Essay - Model Answer

Traffic congestion in many cities around the world is severe. One possible solution to this problem is to impose heavy taxes on car drivers and use this money to make public transport better. This essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of such a measure.

One of the first benefits of such a measure is that the heavy taxes would discourage car owners from using their cars because it would become very expensive to drive. This would mean that they would begin to make use of public transport instead, thus reducing traffic problems and pollution as well. Another benefit would be that much more use would be made of public transport if it was improved. It is often the case that public transport in cities is very poor. For example, we often see old buses and trains that people would rather not use. High taxes would generate enough money to make the necessary changes.

Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to such a solution. First and foremost, this would be a heavy burden on the car drivers. At present, taxes are already high for a lot of people, and so further taxes would only mean less money at the end of the month for most people who may have no choice but to drive every day. In addition, this type of tax would likely be set at a fixed amount. This would mean that it would hit those with less money harder, whilst the rich could likely afford it. It is therefore not a fair tax.

To conclude, this solution is worth considering to improve the current situation, but there are advantages and disadvantages of introducing such a policy.

(277 words)

The topic is clearly stated in the general statement of the introduction, and the thesis tells the reader that advantages and disadvantages will be discussed.

The traffic problems essay is organised well, with the advantages of such a solution in the first body paragraph and the disadvantages in the next.

Each paragraph has two ideas and they are well signaled and supported.

There are some good uses of tenses to show the writer is discussing the unreal future i.e. something that has not happened ( would discourage car owners..., would be a heavy burden..., ).
