IELTS Task (September 16 / 2018)
Hello everyone!
I'd like to have your opinion about this writing task, in terms of: coherence and cohesion, lexical resource and grammatical range and accuracy. It would be great if you can help me! Thanks!
TASK:
All cars that burn fossil fuels should be banned and electric cars should replace them. Do you agree or disagree?
ANSWER:
At recent years, the energy sources for transportation means have become an important topic of discussion. Big companies invest a lot of money trying to make their vehicles more efficient and to reduce the fuel consumption.
An important question today is, if the use of traditional fuel in transport means such as cars, should be shifted to electrical sources. Although the opposers to electric cars point out that they are too expensive and they are a developing technology, I believe that the use of electric cars is an investment to the future, and actually it is a technology that has been studied and researched for many years. I think that electric cars even must replace all cars that burn fossil fuels.
First of all, there are many illnesses caused by pollution that fossil fuels combustion generates. In big cities like Beijing, NYC and Sao Paulo, a big part of population suffer respiratory diseases. This is an important reason that supports all cars in the world should be electrical ones.
On the other side, the fossil fuel burning causes environmental issues like Global Warming. In addition, the weather is changing due Global Warming. Natural disasters such as tsunamis are related with Global Warming too. If government want to stop the climate change, they should encourage the replacement of all cars by electric cars.
Today, there is an important need of replacing old technologies by new ones, in order to improve our life quality. The replacement of fossil fuels by electrical sources should start now, if we want a better future.

I think that electric cars even must replace all cars that burn fossil fuels.
First of all, there are many illnesses caused by pollution that fossil fuels combustion generates. In big cities like Beijing, NYC and Sao Paulo, a big part of population suffer from respiratory diseases caused by the high levels of pollution from fossil fuel combustion . This is an important reason that supports the fact that all cars in the world should be electrical ones, because electrical cars produce less pollution, and would therefore lead to better global health. *
**On the other side Moreover, the fossil fuel burning causes environmental issues like Global Warming. In addition, the weather is changing due Global Warming. Natural disasters such as tsunamis are related with Global Warming too. If the government want to stop the climate change, they should encourage the replacement of all cars into electric cars.
Today, there is an important need for replacing old technologies with new ones, in order to improve our life quality. The replacement of fossil fuels with electrical sources should start now, if we want a better future.
Overall a really good piece of writing, it was very clear and easy to follow. You also use a wide range of vocabulary, which is fantastic. Great work, and if you have any questions feel free to ask me!
Extras:
*In this paragraph I understand what you were trying to say, however the point lacked a little bit of clarity and explination - the changes I've added help to clarify and strengthen your point.
** You use 'on the other side' or 'on the other hand' to say a point in counter to a past point. Your point continues the idea that fossil fuel burning cars are bad, so it is better to use the word 'Moreover' (which allows you to extend your point)
