As the number of cars increases, more money has to be spent on road systems. Some people think the government should pay for this. Others, however, think that drivers should cover the costs.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some today have argued that the funding for road systems should be the responsibility of governments instead of individuals. In my opinion, although maintaining roads can be considered a public service, private motorists should pay in order to more generally benefit society.
Proponents of governments assuming road costs argue this is a basic service tax-payers expect. In all countries, working adults must pay a certain percentage of their monthly salary to the government. From these contributions, individuals justly feel entitled to a variety of public services ranging from police and fire departments to affordable hospitals and safe infrastructure. Roads are a key component in this contract as most people drive in order to go to work, see friends, and take holidays. The government will itself benefit not only from fulfilling this mandate but also in terms of the financial byproduct of consumers being outside actively contributing to a market economy.
However, forcing drivers to pay these costs will greatly discourage private automobile ownership. This disincentive is crucial today because cities are overcrowded and private vehicles contribute to rising pollution levels. In large cities such as New York City and Tokyo, it is nearly impossible to traverse the city by automobile at peak rush hours. If there were fewer cars on the road, then people could travel more freely on bicycles, on foot, and using public transportation. Additionally, private vehicles are inefficient. Other forms of travel leave relatively small carbon footprints but cars, often carrying only one or two passengers, use more petrol than would normally be required to transport people. Replace cars with more efficient transport options and there would be a marked decrease in the consumption of fossil fuels.
In conclusion, despite the strong argument that tax-payers deserve public infrastructure such as roads, it is more important to discourage individuals from purchasing cars. In the long-term, this will greatly benefit cities and the world as a whole.

Some today have argued that many people have made the point that
funding money, resources
road systems streets
responsibility of governments duty of the authorities
maintaining roads keeping streets up
considered a public service for the public good
private motorists people who drive their own vehicles
pay in order to more generally benefit society give money to help everyone out
Proponents of people who support
assuming road costs taking on the expense of streets
basic service tax-payers expect minimum that people who pay taxes want
certain percentage of their monthly salary to the government some amount of their money every month to the state
contributions what they give
feel entitled to a variety of public services ranging from police and fire departments to affordable hospitals and safe infrastructure think they should get things from the government related to health, safety, and roads/buildings
key component crucial part of
contract deal
in order to so that
take holidays go on a trip
benefit not only from fulfilling this mandate good not only to satisfy the deal
in terms of concerning
financial byproduct economic result
consumers being outside actively contributing to a market economy people who buy things adding to the consumer market
forcing drivers to pay these costs making people who drive pay for it
greatly discourage private automobile ownership make people not want to own cars
disincentive does not encourage people to do it
crucial key
overcrowded overpopulated
private vehicles contribute to rising pollution levels cars add to more climate change
In large cities such as in big urban areas like
nearly impossible almost can’t happen
traverse go across
automobile at peak rush hours car when it gets busy
freely when they want
Additionally also
inefficient not a productive way
relatively small carbon footprints comparatively little added to pollution
carrying bringing along
petrol gas
normally be required to usually have to
Replace take the place of
transport options ways of getting around
marked decrease in the consumption of fossil fuels big fall in the use of gas
despite the strong argument that tax-payers deserve regardless of the good point citizens should get
discourage not encourage
In the long-term over time
greatly benefit cities and the world as a whole help urban areas and the whole Earth

The table details age demographics and their relation to poverty in three states in the United States of America. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there are more young individuals in Utah, while those over 60 in poverty are more common in California and especially Florida. Average incomes are generally highest in California and Florida and the largest proportion of total residents in poverty is highest in California, followed by Florida, and lastly Utah.
In California, 16% of all residents are under the official poverty line, with 17% of all residents under 18 years old and 13% over 60. These figures are broadly similar to Florida where 12% of the population is in poverty (16% of total residents under the age of 18 and a notable 23% over 60). In terms of average income, California was recorded at $23,000 and Florida slightly lower at $22,000.
The figures in Utah are markedly different as only 9% of residents are considered poor. Of the total population age demographics, 28% are under the age of 18 but just 8% are elderly individuals. Additionally, average earnings are lower than the other two states at just $17,000.

This is my IELTS writing task 2 sample answer essay on the topic of improving public health from the real IELTS exam.
Be sure to sign up for my full IELTS EBooks here to support my efforts to keep writing these essays for students:
Dave
Some people say that to prevent illness and disease, governments should focus more on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Certain concerned parties today contend that the optimal means of improving public health is to confront pressing environmental and housing problems. In my opinion, though these solutions would be helpful, it is more important to prioritize proper nutrition.
On the one hand, there are current issues concerning housing and the environment that impact health. Many illnesses and conditions are either directly or indirectly related to one’s environment. For instance, a person who lives in an overcrowded metropolis such as Hanoi or Beijing must deal on a daily basis with the immediate dangers of air pollution, potential drinking water contamination, car accidents, and elevated crimes rates. If there were fewer individuals in these cities and the air was cleaner because there were more open, green areas, then it is probable that hospitals would be able to focus more on a reduced number of patients.
On the other hand, there are various causes for diseases and the primary one is poor nutrition. In the last several decades, lifespans globally have increased exponentially, largely as a result of advances in medical science and greater understanding of the human body. A standout example of this would be the plant-based diets that are widely recommended by most nutritionists. A person who consumes little meat, reduces their carbohydrate intake, and mostly does not eat sugar will drastically lower the risk of conditions ranging from diabetes and heart disease to Alzheimer’s and cancer. National health authorities can widely and effectively address these health problems by legislating the levels of unhealthy ingredients in food products.
In conclusion, those in favor of combatting housing and environmental problems make legitimate arguments though improving the average citizen’s diet is in fact the best guarantee of good health. Naturally, governments should pursue a balanced policy.

For extra practice, write an antonym (opposite word) on a piece of paper to help you remember the new vocabulary:
Certain concerned parties today contend some people now argue
optimal means of improving public health best ways of keeping people healthy
confront pressing environmental and housing problems deal with modern problems related to the environment and where people live
solutions remedies
prioritize proper nutrition care more about eating right
On the one hand firstly
current issues concerning new problems having to do with
illnesses sicknesses
conditions illnesses
either directly or indirectly related to one’s environment right from or somehow from what’s around you
overcrowded metropolis big cities
deal on a daily basis with the immediate dangers of air pollution handle every day with risks from unhealthy air
potential drinking water contamination possibly drinking bad water
elevated crimes rates more criminal offenses
more open, green areas public spaces and parks
then it is probable that therefore there is a good chance that
focus more on a reduced number of patients concentrate more on fewer sick people
On the other hand however
various causes for different reasons for
primary one main one
poor nutrition unhealthy
In the last several decades over 20 to 30 years
lifespans how long people live
increased exponentially went up a lot
largely as a result of advances in medical science mostly because of better medicine
greater understanding of the human body better conception of human health
A standout example of this would be the best instance of this is
plant-based diets mostly just eating vegetables
widely recommended by most nutritionists the advice of most doctors
consumes little meat not eating too many animals
reduces their carbohydrate intake not having so many grains and breads
mostly does not eat sugar will drastically lower the risk of conditions ranging from diabetes and heart disease to Alzheimer’s and cancer not eating sweet foods makes it less likely you will get diabetes or have a heart attack or suffer from dementia or get cancer
National health authorities can widely and effectively address governments can unilaterally deal with
legislating putting into law
levels how high it is
unhealthy ingredients in food products fats, sugar, carbs
those in favor of combatting housing and environmental problems make legitimate arguments people who support working against these problems make good points
in fact the best guarantee of good health the optimal way to make sure you are healthy
Naturally of course
pursue a balanced policy follow a more moderate path
