Answer 1

Respected judges and teachers.

Today I stand before you to present my views for the motion on the topic given for debate. I believe that private cars should be banned in the congested commercial areas of the cities.

There is no end to the number of vehicles being driven around the city each day. Traffic jams has become a rather common problem and it has only increased in the last ten years. In my opinion, allowing private cars to congested commercial areas only adds to the problem. Long traffic jams do not only mean consumption of extra fuel but it also means that more number of people would suffer from respiratory diseases due to pollution. If people take the public transport to work or hire a cab which runs on CNG and comes with an option of pooling, the problem of constantly rising pollution and heavy traffic jams can be reduced by many-folds.

The earth belongs to all of us and it is our duty to safeguard it and keep it clean for our future generations. Thus, the first step towards protecting our environment would be to stop abusing the available amount of petroleum and avoid creating pollution.

Thank you for listening to my views patiently.
