Essay Plan:
Introduction: refer to the task question, using paraphrasing. My own opinion – the damage it causes to the environment is greater than its benefits.
Body Paragraph #1: benefits of having a private car (1) commuting more conveniently -> drive directly to their desired location -> avoid wasting time (2) if people enjoy travelling -> private car is handy for spontaneous trips.
Body Paragraph #2: potential damage it may pose (1) damage the environment -> air pollution harming natural habitat (2) would also harm human’s health -> lung diseases + excessive use of manufacturing + petrol -> resource depletion
Conclusion: owning a car may be extremely convenient for individuals, however, I believe that its potential damage to the environment outweighs its benefits in the long run.
In the modern world, it is without dispute that there has been a surging number of privately-owned vehicles like cars being purchased and used across the globe. Although this trend has some benefits, I would argue that there are more drawbacks that should be concerned.
On the one hand, people could derive significant benefits from using personal cars. To elaborate, commuting would be more convenient because people would be able to drive directly to any location without having to wait for public transportation. As a result, people would be able to avoid wasting time waiting. For people who enjoy travelling, having a car is beneficial for spontaneous trips. People could, for example, explore new roads and try the shortest routes to any destination. Moreover, they are allowed to carry heavy and bulky belongings with ease or even their pets which may not be allowed on planes or coaches.
On the other hand, I believe that this tendency would cause alarming damage to the habitat. To begin with, a range of environmental issues could stem from privately-owned vehicles, particularly air pollution. Carbon monoxide exhaust from personal automobiles would degrade air quality, harming animal and human habitats. Moreover, long term exposure to toxic pollutants may have major consequences for humans, including respiratory diseases such as asthma, sinusitis, and lung cancer. On a bigger scale, the toxic air would also cause similar diseases to wild animals and contribute to global warming. Furthermore, excessive use of natural resources for manufacturing many cars and their fuel may lead to resource depletion.
In conclusion, owning a car may be extremely convenient for individuals, however, I believe that its potential damage to the environment outweighs its benefits in the long run.
