Cyclists and car drivers sharing the same road might cause some problems. What are the problems? What could be done to solve those problems?
Sample Response
Nowadays, it is common to see cars and bicycles travel on the same road. This may result in a number of undesirable consequences which could be addressed by several measures outlined belowapproaches explained below.
The fact that motorists and cyclistscar drivers and bikers share the same roadway while travelling may lead to two main problems. First, the possibility of an accident between a car and a bicycle is much higher than when they have their own road, and in case of accidents, the risk of death could also be highermortality rate could also be greater. Because automobiles are large and able to run very fast, they may kill people when colliding with bikes, which is far more serious than accidents on the street for only bikes. Second, people driving cars would also be face inconveniencefaced with inconveniences when they share the same road with bicyclists. For instance, instead of running as fast as possible to an appointment that they are about to be late, car drivers may have to slow down and wait for some commuter ahead riding a bike at their average speed.
In order to deal with such problems, there are two solutions that should be taken into consideration. First of all, on roadways that allow both cars and bicycles to travel at the same time, the authorities should strictly limit the maximum speed at 50 kphas low as 50 kph. While travelling at this speedWhile running at such a low speed, drivers can better control their vehiclesvehicle as well as avoid other road usersdodge others, and in the event of a collisionin the event of collision, the damage would also be less serious. SecondlySecond of all, it is necessary for the government to build separate lanes for these two types of vehiclethese two vehicles so that their different speeds will not interfere with one anotherdifferent speeds will not bother each other as in the situations described aboveas in aforementioned situations. For example, on most streets in Singapore, automobiles and bikes could travel simultaneously, butsimultaneously but there are separate lanes designated for eachlanes designated for both of them, so they are able to travel at their preferred speedrun at their speed of choice without affecting one another.
In conclusion, when cyclists and automobile drivers share the same road, several issuesa couple of issues may arise. Fortunately, two possible methods have been proposed to solve these issues.
Why this response received Band 7.0
The response addresses both parts directly, develops two relevant problems and two practical solutions, and maintains a clear progression throughout. Its main limitation is the recurring use of awkward or imprecise phrasing, especially in examples and descriptions of road use; the highest-priority improvement is to choose more natural collocations and express supporting details more concisely and precisely.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Response
Both questions are fully addressed through relevant problems and corresponding solutions that are generally well explained and illustrated.
Develop the safety and congestion examples with more precise reasoning rather than relying on broad claims about speed and mortality.
Coherence and Cohesion
The response is logically organised into clear functional paragraphs, and ideas progress coherently with effective referencing and sequencing.
Use a less mechanical range of transitions and tighten a few long explanatory sentences to make the progression more fluent.
Lexical Resource
A sufficient range of topic vocabulary is used, but several collocations and word choices sound unnatural or imprecise.
Replace phrases such as vehicles that bother each other or drivers who run with conventional road-safety expressions and more exact verbs.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
A variety of complex structures is handled with generally good control, although minor agreement, article, and construction errors recur.
Check long sentences for consistent pronoun reference, number agreement, and complete prepositional constructions before finalising the response.
