Answer:

Nowadays, traffic and pollution are becoming essential problem in the world.

traffic and pollution are becoming essential problems in the world
the price of people's basic needs

It is believed by numerous people that increasing the cost of petrol can reduce people willingness to use private car inasmuch as they must think about the other needs which they have to meet. Take Japan as an example, the government of Japan has applied this method for five years and it showed a significant result which people tempt to use public transportation. It is proved by the statistic which reveals that the number of private car user decrease slightly over the recent years. Consequently, this method will affect the proportion of traffic and pollution. <------I think you you should be to chose giving example or scientific fact in one paragraph.

Conversely, even though petrol high price can reduce the rate of pollution and traffic, it will influence the cost of people basic needs as in several countries, the basic needs price goes hand in hand with the price of petrol. For example, in Indonesia, the cost of people's daily needs will increase when the price of petrol increase. It means that this method solves the pollution and traffic problem, but it makes new problemIt is thus clear that it gives new problem to people.

Based on that fact, I would argue that the best method to decrease pollution and traffic problemS which is caused by the significant number of private vehicle user is increasing private vehicle tax. This method will be effective asAs an obvious example , in Netherland, this method was applied for ten years and it showed a dramatic result. Almost 80 per cent of Netherland citizen more likely to use bicycle or public transportation rather than private car due to the high tax. As result,There is no doubt that the rate of pollution and traffic will be effectively tackled by high tax
