The development in the world has given many gifts but not without their bane. Due to the
boom in the automobile industry, there is a significant rise in traffic congestion on the
road, which is one of the pressing problems. There is an opinion that Vietnamese
government should tax the private car owners heavily and use the money to improve
public transportation. And I totally agree with that point of view.(Thus, imposing high
taxes will have certain advantages, but it will also have disadvantages.)
To begin with, taxation will dissuade many individuals from buying their cars, resulting
in a decrease in the number of private cars on the road and a reduction in traffic
congestion. If private automobiles are heavily taxed, public transportation, such as buses
and trains, will become more popular, resulting in fewer vehicles on the road and greater air quality.
The second, it can help dwindling of accidents on the road. Many people who drive a car
could use a public transport instead of using their own transport. People can walk and do
cycling instead of driving cars and it will be helpful for their health and it would be
cheaper as well. Simultaneously, people will be encouraged to use the carpooling system,
which will help to reduce pollution and the overuse of fuel and gasoline.
In conclusion, I strongly agree with the concept of increasing the taxes for car owners and
use the money to improve public transportation. The advantages outweigh the
disadvantages of such a solution. The imposition of a hefty tax on respective car owners
will prove to be favorable in various ways. To begin with, taxation will dissuade many
individuals from buying their cars, resulting in a decrease in the number of private cars
on the road and a reduction in traffic congestion. If private automobiles are heavily taxed,
public transportation, such as buses and trains, will become more popular, resulting in
fewer vehicles on the road and greater air quality. Simultaneously, people will be
encouraged to use the carpooling system, which will help to reduce pollution and the overuse of fuel and gasoline.
However, the drawbacks of this solution appear to overshadow the positives because
automotive purchases account for a significant share of any economy. Thus, the
implementation of taxes will have a negative impact on human employment and
livelihood, as the financial burden on car owners would be increased. Furthermore,
higher taxes will deter individuals from purchasing private vehicles, which could be an
issue in the event of an emergency when public transportation is unavailable. Besides,
people who are in not good financial position but require a car to commute to work will
also be affected since they will be obliged to offer their automobiles and lose their
employment if they cannot afford the levy.
To sum up, traffic congestion has reached alarming levels, and levying a tax on private
automobile owners as a means of encouraging people to use public transportation has
become a plausible option. However, it has a negative impact on car sales and may lead
to prejudice. Therefore, the idea of levying a high automobile tax rate on private car
owners to alleviate traffic congestion has both pros and cons which can’t be overlooked.
1.Read the paragraph and answer the questions (2ms)
Synonyms, words that have the same basic meaning, do not always have the same emotional meaning. For
example, the words stingy and frugal both mean "careful with money." However, to call a person stingy is an
insult, while the word frugal has a much more positive connotation. Similarly, a person wants to be slender but
not skinny, and aggressive but not pushy. Therefore, you should be careful in choosing words because many
so-called synonyms are not synonymous at all. .
