Script
Some people say that the number of cars in cities should be limited. Do you agree with this idea?
I agree that the number of cars in cities should be limited, and I have two reasons for feeling this way. First, if there were fewer cars, city streets would be safer. Crossing the street would be far less dangerous for people on foot or on bicycles. Second, fewer cars would also be better for the environment. Cars produce a lot of harmful gases, and limiting them might encourage people to use public transportation like trains or buses. This would make the air cleaner. Therefore, I think that the number of cars in cities should be limited.
