TOEFL independent writing essay 1


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There will be more cars in use in the future than there are now. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Nowadays, people can not imagine their lives without cars, because they have become the most popular and accessible way of transportation. The number of cars is growing with every minute, but some say that in the future there will not be as many cars as there are now in use. Personally, I agree with this statement and have certain reasons that will support my point of view.
To begin with, I think that in the near future people will understand that cars harm our health and environment. They seriously pollute the air, making it impossible to breathe. The more cars appear in the streets – the more unbearable the air becomes. This really harms people’s personal state, so some of them refuse to go outside. It is also bad for the nature around us. All the plants and trees start growing slower and are not able to give us enough oxygen anymore.
Furthermore, there is not enough place for cars. Especially in small countries, in overpopulated areas, the streets are not enough big for all the cars to fit in. The lack of free space in the streets causes vast traffics, which people, not surprisingly, do not like. It also can cause more accidents, and make our surroundings more dangerous than ever. For example, there can be traffic in a small city, and someone can be late for work or a meeting. By wanting to pierce the traffic, that person can become the reason for an accident, and hurt himself or the people around him.
In addition, I think that in the future people might not even need cars. Albeit now, the most comfortable and fast way of transportation are cars, it does not have to be like this, let us say in a hundred years. The technology is becoming more and more advanced nowadays, people are creating some devices that the older generations could not even dream of. In my opinion, in the nearest future, there will be better ways of transportation. For instance, in a hundred years people might discover teleportation, which is way faster than cars. It will encourage humans to get rid of cars and start using more advanced methods.
To conclude, although some people claim that the number of cars in use will grow with the years, I think that people will realize the harms of this way of transportation and discover the new ones, in order to avoid earlier mentioned problems, which will become the reason for a decrease in cars on our planet.
