Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its
advantages. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages
of having a car.
Give reasons for your answer.
You should write at least 250 words.
Model Answer 1:
In our lives, we travel from one place to another for a great variety of reasons and while traveling we greatly depend on cars, whether it is a private car or a public bus. The number of car-owners increasing everyday because every person expects the freedom to travel and comfort while traveling. And that is why most of us want to own a car. However owning a car have many advantages and disadvantages as well.
In our lives, we travel from one place to another for a great variety of reasons and while traveling we greatly depend on cars, whether it is a private car or a public bus. The number of car-owners increasing everyday because every person expects the freedom to travel and comfort while traveling. And that is why most of us want to own a car. However owning a car have many advantages and disadvantages as well.
The main advantage of owning a car is it gives the freedom to travel. If
you have a car then you don't need to be limited to fixed routes and
timetables. Moreover, a car-owner can take is/her family members with him/her
and other necessary goods whenever he/she wish which might have been impossible
otherwise. In addition personal cars give comfort while traveling on the
contrary to the public buses which are so crowded and disgusting. You can read
books, listen to music or even can play with kids while you are in your own car
but those all seems to be impossible in a public transport. On the contrary, owning
a car is very expensive. The price of the car, the cost of the tax, insurance
cost, fuel-cost, driver' salary, car repairing etc. all must be considered
before buying a car and that is why it is out of reach of the middle class
people.
Moreover, private cars can not carry many passengers at a time yet
occupy spaces in the street. As the number of car is increasing in the road so
does the traffic jam. Perhaps the major disadvantage of cars in general is the
huge damage they do to the human health and to the environment. More cars mean
more pollution. The environment pollution is a serious issue today and in any
cost we must reduce the amount of pollution. And if we consider it then owning
a car is never a good idea.
To sum up, having a car gives someone freedom but if public
transportation system is easily accessible, safe and efficient, then the idea
of buying and owning a car should be abandoned.

Idea Generation for this IELTS Essay:
Essay Type: Agree / Disagree as well as Advantages &
Disadvantages.
Main question of this IELTS Essay:
A. Do you agree that there are more disadvantages of the car than its
advantages?
B. Advantages of having a car.
C. Disadvantages of having a car.
Note: This essay topic is bit tricky. It is a combination of both
"Agree/ Disagree" and "Advantages & Disadvantages" type
essay. First you need to write whether you agree or disagree that cars have
more disadvantages that the advantages they offer. Again you need to write down
the advantages and disadvantages of owning a car. In the introduction
part of the essay you need to mention whether you agree or disagree. Then in
the following paragraphs you can write the advantages and disadvantages of cars
and at the end of the each paragraph you can summarise why having a car has
more advantages than disadvantages and vice versa.
Disadvantages of having a car:
Owning a car is expensive and requires additional costs to maintain and
repair it. Not all families can afford it.
Cars have increased the level of air and noise pollution in cities,
causing more humans to suffer from respiratory, heart diseases, or cancers.
City travellers have to spend longer hours on traffic jams. Using more
private car, the density of traffic has been increased phenomenally and
citizens have had to stay longer time on traffic load.
As the number of private cars increased, more car passengers have been
injured or died by severe accidents.
More pedestrians’ accidents have been reported annually. As the usage of
private cars increases, it is more probable that people walking through the
street die by them.
Private car is more expensive than the public transportation. Paying
huge money for tax, renewing of licence, or air care, people have to pay more
for using of car.
More fossil fuels are consumed as more cars are used by people, leading
other generations to face shortage of these fuels.
Governmental expense will be raised far dramatically. To build and
maintenance of more highways for more cars, hire more police force, the local
government have to consider a larger budget.
The use of cars to commute has decreased the average health of car users
as they do not need to do any physical movement.
The consumption of fuels to run the car is contributing to the rise if
global warming and affecting the ozone layer.
The car owners need to worry about the safety and parking places for
cars wherever s/he travels.
It saves time as the commuter can reach his destination quickly than it
would be required in a public bus.
Agreement: Why cars have more disadvantages than advantages?
Considering all the disadvantages the cars have to the health, environment, government budget and the hassle and expenses the car owners have to bear, it is quite clear that having a car has more demerits and the advantages it offers.
Considering all the disadvantages the cars have to the health, environment, government budget and the hassle and expenses the car owners have to bear, it is quite clear that having a car has more demerits and the advantages it offers.
Advantages of having a car:
Private vehicle is more convenient mode of transportation. Having more
comfortable seat, ventilation or other novel technologies help people to feel
better than using of other methods, like bicycle or public bus.
Users have a more secure privacy compared to using public
transportation.
This will increase more job opportunities because more workers will be
involved in working in car companies or as drivers, reducing the unemployment
rate.
The local state will have more budgets, paid by car owners’ taxes, to
renew the roads. Annually, car drivers have to pay hundreds of dollars for
renewing of their car insurance, licence, tickets, or air care.
Other industries have been developed as car industries developed. The
more humans use more private cars, the more car companies have to raise their
technology, leading other mother industries to be developed too.
People can have absolute freedom on deciding the schedule and roads to
reach their destination.
In a private car a person can utilise his time but it is very tough to
do so in a public bus.
In a car a person does not have to worry about the dusts, noise and
fumes present in the road while in public transportation it is not always
possible to avoid those.
Disagreement: Why cars have more advantages that disadvantages?
Considering the advantages the car ownership offers, I would say that it
is more beneficial to own a car than using public transportation. Many people
might argue against owning a car but I think most of them would buy a car if
their financial condition allows them to do so.

Alternative Answer 2:
Owning a car is a birth-right for some people while other people try their life-long to purchase one. Apart from these two groups, there are certain people who do not dare to even think about purchasing a car because of their miserable economic conditions. However, for all those people the four wheel car is a fancy machine with advantages and utility. Owning a car can also might bring some drawback.

However, for all those people the four wheel car is a fancy machine with advantages and utility. Owning a car can also might bring some drawback.
Among the advantages of owning a car, in my opinion, freedom of
travelling is the most important one. Someone who owns a car can plan his
route, timing and destination. He won’t have to wait for the schedule of a
public bus, stand in a long cue, wait for hour for the bus to arrive, and sit
in the public bus uncomfortably. A person car gives the freedom, saves time and
the owner can utilize the time while he travels. Apart from that, he can carry
the grocery, goods and other valuables in the car at his discretion. Owning a
car also offers the flexibility of visiting a relatives and friends who stay
far away without much hassle of a public bus. Taking a child or an old person
in a public bus is quite impossible and owning a car would facilitates someone
to take his kid, old relatives with him if needed. The comfort and safety in a
private car can’t be achieved in a public car. In terms of expense, sometimes
personal car saves monthly expenses that would otherwise be required for a
person if he travel frequently.
On the other hand owning a car has some disadvantages as well. First of
all, private cars require the garage place and parking hassle. Sometimes the
expenses on hiring a driver and purchasing fuel might exceed the expense budged
in case of people who could have easily avail a public bus for infrequent
journey. The traffic issue, paper renewal issue, tax, police cases are
sometimes too much to handle for the personal car owners. For example, if a
public bus gets busted in the middle of a road, the passenger can easily leave
it a look for another one. But in this same situation, a private car owner who
was riding in his car would have to take the burden of taking care of the
busted car and reach to the automobile repairing centers.
In summary, though owning a car has some disadvantages, it offers many
advantages as well.
