Essay B1:
Write an essay about whether people really need to own a car nowadays.
Is a Car Necessary Nowadays?
In this essay I will examine whether people need to have a car in modern life.
Most people have a car because it is more convenient and comfortable than public transport, above all if you live in the countryside. People prefer to feel independent and do not enjoy waiting in the street for a bus. Cars have always been practical for people with young families, and it is easier to discover new places with a car.
However, having a car has lots of downsides. If you want to learn to drive, you will have to pay a lot of money. In addition, cars and petrol are expensive. If you live in the city, it is difficult to find a parking space, and so public transport could be more convenient. Using public transport is better for the environment, but in the future it is possible that there will be other options, for example electric cars.
