Should governments restrict private car use in city centres?

Evidence from cities that have introduced charging schemes that traffic volumes fall within the first year, though it cannot show the effect would hold everywhere.

Such schemes face strong opposition when first announced, but that opposition usually fades once the revenue becomes visible.

, the burden falls hardest on drivers who cannot easily switch to public transport. Nevertheless, that objection assumes the revenue disappears.

Much of the resistance actually a separate problem: where workers have been priced out of the centre, they have no alternative but to drive in.

Restricting cars would therefore congestion without removing its underlying cause, which is the shortage of near where people work.

Before committing to a scheme, cities should research into commuting patterns, since a charge that ignores them will simply move to the ring road rather than reducing them.

Course Production Task

One full body paragraph, drawing on everything. The last thing the course asks you to write.

Write one full body paragraph — around five sentences — arguing either side.

Task 2 prompt: Some people believe that reducing working hours would improve quality of life. Others believe it would damage the economy.

This is the last thing the course asks you to write. Try to bring in at least four of these:

an evidence verb whose strength matches your evidence (Ch 1)
a hedge that survives a counter-example (Ch 3)
a concession with a pivot (Ch 3)
a causal verb pointing the right way (Ch 4)
a partial-solution verb rather than 'solve' (Ch 4)
a topic term that is specific rather than decorative (Ch 6)

Your body paragraph*

About five sentences. At least four of the six moves.

Which of the six moves did you use?*

Name them, so the feedback can check each one specifically.

Your Weakest Cluster

Decide which chapter to revise first, and what you will actually do about it.

Learners can ask follow-up questions and keep the thread going.

That was the last task in the course. One question left.

Which chapter do you least trust yourself on?

Not the one you found hardest to read — the one where you would hesitate in an exam, with the clock running.

Name it, and say what specifically you would hesitate over. Then we will decide what is actually worth doing about it before your test.
