IELTS Writing Task 2 ngày 13/8/2016: More and more people do not ride the bicycle as a mode
of transportation even though it has many benefits.
Why? How to encourage people to use bicycles as a main transport?
IELTS Writing Task 2 ngày 20/8/2016: In some cities people are choosing cars instead of
bicycles, while in other cities riding bikes are replacing cars. Why is this the case? Which
development do you think is better?
Here are some ideas for this essay question.
Cars
Cars are able to transport a number of people rather than only one as well as bulky items.
Travelling by car is more time effective.
Car travel is comfortable which enables the driver to arrive fresh at their destination.
Travelling by car in a city is often safer because the frame of the vehicle and safety mechanisms
can protect the driver.
In cold climates, where temperatures drop to near or below freezing in winter, cars are a better
option.
Cars are able to cover great distances which bring more people into city centers and boost the
local economy.
Cars are the most sensible option for people with weak health, the elderly or those that need to
conserve their energy for their work.
Bicycles
This form of transportation is more environmentally friendly as there are no exhaust fumes to
pollute the atmosphere and no fuel is required which would deplete world resources.
Using bicycles is a healthier way to travel and helps busy people incorporate exercise into their
daily lives.
Cycling is a cheap and sustainable form of transportation.
Travelling by bicycles rarely results in traffic congestion regardless of the amount of traffic on the

roads

Sample Answer 1:
It has been a while since the eco-friendly transportation bicycle was first introduced and the
popularity of this transportation seems like has decreased in many countries and this could have
happened due to various reasons despite the benefits bicycles offer. However, there are several
ways that could be helpful to encourage the society to use cycles for their day to day
requirements.
Few decades ago bicycle was used as one of the main transportations and with the invention of
motorised vehicles, the popularity of cycle has decreased. A cycle was an environment-friendly
mode of transportation and was far useful and convenient than walking or using animal driven
transports. People could move faster with the help of a cycle and that made this vehicle quite
popular in many countries. Cycles do not use any fuel, do not omit any gas, using and parking this
mode of transport is very easy and it is an environment-friendly vehicle. However, when the
motorised vehicle was introduced, people switched to that as it is faster and can carry more weight
at a time. The safe and green mode of transport- cycle, became less popular as people started
using cars for commuting.
Among some minor reasons for the unpopularity of cycles, safety of the cyclist is a significant
issue. Because nowadays roads are full of motor vehicles, safety of two wheelers cannot be
ensured. In additions to that, slow speed discourages many people from the use of cycles. Finally,
cycles are inefficient for long distance transportation.
However, there are several key elements that should be implementing to gain back the cyclists to
the road again. Firstly, governments should implement separate cycling path dedicated for the
cyclist and that would ensure the safety of the cyclists. In addition to that, providing secure
parking facilities will also encourage many to use cycles. Restriction on car ownership and

increasing the price of fuel would encourage many to use cycle instead of driving cars.
Registration process for owning a cycle should be very easy and people who use green mode of
transportation should be awarded in different ways. Finally, awareness campaigns to educate
people about the health and environment benefits of using bicycle could be a great step to

motivate more people to use it daily.
To conclude, a government has a great role to play to motivate its citizens to use bicycles and this
would guarantee a green environment and healthier citizens to the country.

Sample Answer 2:
It is a fact that riding a bicycle is good for our health and it is an environment-friendly mode of
transportation. However, it is still not favourable in many countries. The following essay will
discuss some of the reasons for this trend and several suggestions that could be implemented to
encourage more people to ride bicycles.
It is true that in several countries, the people do not like to use bicycles as their mode of
transportation. Firstly, it is the view and the thinking of the people who still believe that bicycle is
not a mode of transportation and it is only used for exercises. They think that riding a bicycle is
only a sporting or recreational activity and for commuting they need to ride on busses, trains or
drive their own cars. Secondly, since some governments do not provide any bicycle lane for the
cyclists, people find it risky to ride bicycles in the main streets. Without the existence of the
separate bicycle lane, some people think that riding a bike to work would be dangerous as they
have to share the road with car commuters and motorcyclists.
There are several things that governments could do to persuade their people to ride bikes. One of
the solutions is by providing separate cycling lane for public. By having a lot of bicycle lanes in
the area, it is hoped that it will encourage the residents to ride bikes for their daily commuting.
Another solution could be encouraging and informing people by making campaigns about the
positive effects of bike riding to the societies. The promotion should be attractive and informative
about the benefits of cycling to the people. Lastly, the government should also lead by examples

about bike riding. One of the examples is that the government could persuade their employees to
ride bicycles on a daily basis. By seeing that government authorities are riding their bike to work,
it is hoped that the public will also follow the example.
In conclusion, although bike riding has become a popular mode of transportation in some
countries, but it is still not widely accepted in several other countries. It is because the mindset of
the people which believe that cycling is a just a matter of sport and cycling lanes are not available

in their country. The governments should make some action plans to persuade their people to ride
bikes, as it is beneficial for the people and the government as well.
