[Questions 8: Write an opinion essay]

There are many ways to commute into the city: buses, subways, cars, and bicycles. What do you think is the best way to get to work? Why? Give reasons or examples to support your opinion.

- Writing Sample

Commuting in the city is part of everyday life. There are many ways to get to and from work, but the best method depends on a couple of factors. The first factor is how long you have to commute. Subways are probably the fastest and most efficient means of getting to work when you have a long distance to travel. Taking a bus may seem more comfortable, but it might take longer because of the many cars and traffic lights. People who don’t have much time to get to work may not risk getting stuck in a traffic jam and being late. Driving one’s own car may seem like an excellent idea because it does not involve pushing through crowds of people or waiting for a bus; however, it can be very expensive and it has the same risk as riding a bus: getting stuck in traffic.

The second factor is how much you are willing to spend on commuting. Buses tend to be more expensive than the subway, and cars are the most expensive because you have to pay for your own gas. Carpooling is a good way to reduce the cost of commuting, but it might take up more time than traveling alone. Perhaps the most ideal way to commute to work is to walk or ride a bicycle. Both of these modes of getting to work are excellent because they save money, promote a healthy lifestyle, and reduce pollution in the city. However, neither walking nor riding a bike is ideal for people who have to travel a long distance to get to work.

Based on these factors, it can be concluded that the best mode of transportation depends on time and money. Individuals traveling a long distance would be wise to take the subway in order to save money and time. People who live close to their office should walk or ride their bicycle to cut down on commuting costs, improve their health, and promote a clean environment.
