Task 2: People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.

In recent times, environmental problems have always been a huge concern to a great proportion of people in many societies. There is a school of thought that the government ought to increase the price of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental issues. From my own perspective, it is a useful measure, but other measures might be more effective.

On the one hand, there were many positive results if government escalated the expense of fuel for many vehicles like cars or motorbikes. First and foremost, it could restrict the number of people using these private vehicles. Secondly, the money raised could be used to improve the quality of public transport like buses or trains. The public transport would be invested to upgrade and expand, as people would still need to go to school, go to the company, or go to the supermarket, for instance. Both these measures could cut down on carbon emissions from vehicles and help to reduce the greenhouse effect and evenly, global warming.

On the other hand, while increasing the price of fuel for many private vehicles would be a useful measure, government could adopt transport policies which would be more effective for a long term. Government could invest in the quality of public transports and encourage people to use them. Beside that, the government could introduce some free transports that support the people having low income. These measures would improve the air quality in the city and reduce the pollutants from private transports and also decrease the ability of global warming.

To conclude, the rise in cost of fuels for vehicles would be a useful measure, although there were other ways to solve the environmental problems.
