6.24 THE AUTOMOBILE
The automobile has had a profound effect on modern life. Some of these
effects have been positive and others negative. Discuss these effects in
the form of an essay.
Note: The words in parentheses are more advanced alternatives.
INTRODUCTION
The automobile has brought about changes in almost all aspects (spheres) of
human life. Many of the effects were good (wholesome) and contributed
greatly to the development of societies. However, automobiles have created
some serious problems too. (35 words)
BODY
On the positive side, automobiles have opened up whole new worlds
previously unknown to man. For example, new industries in manufacturing,
repairing, maintaining, selling, insuring, and driving vehicles were created.
The paving of roads was improved, and tunnels, highways, and better bridges
were built (constructed). All this resulted in millions of new careers being
formed and jobs created. In addition, the ideas (concepts) of commuting and
private long-distance traveling were introduced, giving rise to the tourism
industry and the formation of suburbs around cities.
On the negative side, automobiles created social and environmental
problems not known to humans before. For instance, young people could
leave their homes more easily in search of entertainment and excitement and
so reduce the time spent with their families. Second, ecologically sensitive
areas like deserts, wilderness areas, and rainforests were now easily
accessible to those seeking to use (exploit) the natural resources found there.
Lastly, automobiles burn fossil fuels, producing large quantities of harmful
(poisonous) exhaust gases, which in turn are polluting the earth’s atmosphere
and threatening our very existence on this planet. (174 words)

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, except for the wheel, the automobile has had a greater effect
on our lives than any other invention. Thus it is difficult to decide if we
should thank or curse Mr. Ford for his legacy. (37 words) (Total words: 146)
