    HINTS

    Hints

    •[PLANNING]
    • - Use the task input to help you plan but try to avoid copying phrases
    from the input in Part 1. Use your own words.

    •[INTRODUCTION and CONCLUSION]

    • - Effective introductory and concluding paragraphs. In the


    introduction, state the topic clearly, give a brief outline of the
    issue, saying why it is important or why people have different
    opinions about it.
    • - DO NOT express you opinion at the beginning of your essay
    (develop you essay in such a way that it guides the reader to the
    conclusion you draw).
    • - DO give your opinion in the final paragraph.

    •[SECOND and THIRD PARAGRAPHS]


    • - Structure your argument. Each new paragraph has one main idea,
    stated in a topic sentence.
    • - Include relevant details to support the main idea: these might include
    examples, rhetorical questions (do no overdo it), controversial or
    surprising statements... If you include a drawback, give a possible
    solution, too.
    •
    [GENERAL]

    • - DO use a relatively formal register and an objective tone. Do not be


    too emotional.
    • - Remember to use linking adverbials to organise your ideas and to
    make it easy for the reader to follow your argument.
    • - In the exam, allow yourself time to check your grammar, spelling and
    punctuation thoroughly.
    Too much traffic is a major headache for everyone in the city due to the noise,
    pollution and, of course, terrible delays during the rush hour. How can the
    government reduce traffic and dissuade people from driving their cars into the
    centre every day? In this essay, I will discuss two possible approaches to this
    pressing yet complex issue.

    The first option to consider is an education campaign which could comprise of


    visual and radio advertising, presentations to businesses and special
    designated days such as 'Wall to Work day'. Compared to the high cost of
    significantly upgrading our public transport system, advertising is relatively
    low-cost and straightforward to implement. On the other hand, it is difficult to
    gauge the effectiveness of such campaign in advance because it relies on
    individuals changing their ingrained habits.

    A second alternative would be to levy a tax on parking in the city. This could
    be applied both to businesses and directly to consumers. While it is true that
    this would have immediate gains in revenue and change behaviour, taxes are
    unpopular and could also place unfair pressure on small businesses and
    individuals who do not have other transport options for work.

    In my view, a multi-faceted education campaign would be the most effective


    starting point. In the future, a tax could be a possible option but it would be
    tolerated better once citizens are educated about the benefits of fewer cars
    and a more pedestrianised centre.
