Organization Text: Banning of motorbikes in necessary in housing areas
Thesis Motorbikes are a nuisance and a cause for great distress. Even though motorbikes are
considered as the most convenient from transportation, I think they are a hazard to
humans, animals as well as the environment. I think motorbikes should be banned in
housing areas due to the following reasons: cause of unreasonable amount of noise,
air pollution, diseases, and accidents.
Argument 1 First of all, I would like to point out that motorbikes are major contributor to the
pollution in the world. Research has shown that motorbikes emit a deadly gas that is
dangerous for environment. Consequently, long-term emission of gas from
motorbikes is a major contributor of global warming (Science Daily).
Argument 2 Secondly, according to a report from BBC, motorbikes are also responsible for causing
diseases such as bronchitis, cancer, and are a major trigger of asthma and high blood
pressure. Some of the disease are so ghastly that they can kill people (BBC News,
2009).
Argument 3 Furthermore,
. There is “vroom vroom” noise everywhere. It is extremely difficult to sleep. Parents
with infants find it extremely challenging. The moment their babies fall asleep, one or
other motorbike passes by and the baby wakes up. It is also arduous for children to
concentrate on their homework. Experts are of opinion that if there is extreme noise,
it can lead to deafness and lack of concentration in children and adults (Fields, 1993).
Argument 4 Finally, motorbikes are responsible for horrible accidents. In some cases there are
death. Motorbike riders go so fast that they are unable to stop on time thus they end
up hitting other people or animals. Many a times a lot of animals are trampled and
found death on road. Motorbikes are known to be the biggest killers on road (Filled,
1993)
Reiteration In conclusion, from the arguments above, I strongly believe that motorbikes should be
banned from housing areas.
