TOEFL® essay: Should government spend more money on improving roads and highways

[Sandy_321]

Hi all this is my second essay..please do take a look and rate my essay.

The issue at hand is whether government should spend more money on improving roads and highways rather than improving public transport.In my view government should spend money on improving roads and highways.This is because it is only through better roads we will be having better transportation and also roads indicate culture of nation.

One reason i think emphasis should be kept on road improvement is that most of times mobility of vehicles gets zeroed down if roads are in bad condition.Especially rainy seasons aggravate the running coditions of road.If mobility of vehicles is affected other areas like business also gets affected.Because consider a vehicle carrying goods which are to be sold in other area.If u cant reach the place in time we will be loosing the market share.So for any country building good roads should be prime points on to be done list.

Second reason i think government should consider improving raods and highways is connectivity.Connectivity is one of factors that business people seek before setting up any company.So if your town/city is better connected you will be getting more chances of company being setup there which in turn benifits the people in form of job creation.

Finally i think setting up good roads and highways is important because with out roads there is no point in improving transportation.For example there is no point in travelling in good vehicle on bad road or highway.Further it will lessen the performace of vehicle.We will feel comfortable even in normal vehicle if the road is good.Improving road conditions should be first step.And then we can consider improving transportation facilities.
