The example

Cars in the city

Thesis

Car are created pollution and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.

Argument 1

                Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the population in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses, such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and triggers off asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

Argument 2

                Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are roads biggest killers.

Argument 3

                Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your homework, and especially tak to someone.

Reiteration

                I persuade that it is good for the city government to ban too many cars come into the big city because cars make the city in trouble, crowded, and heavy traffic jams every time.
