Topic: Excessive traffic has made cities unpleasant places to live and work in. For this reason, private cars should be completely banned from city centres. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Answer:
Traffic congestion is to blame for the extreme conditions of our livelihood. However, no town council has yet had the courage to completely prohibit private motor vehicles from entering the city centre. I believe that although private transport has some advantages, it definitely has more negative impacts on our health and the environment.
Firstly, I am in favour of eliminating private vehicles because of the pollution. It is generally agreed that traffic exhaust has a detrimental effect on people's health. For instance, many people nowadays are facing respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis that are caused by emissions and fumes from cars. Obviously, we are not able to live a healthy life in such environmental conditions. Moreover, it is often pointed out that excessive traffic damages the stonework of historic monuments and beautiful buildings because roads for private vehicles are constructed on a daily basis. It can be said that excessive traffic also affects the beauty and scenery of a city.
Secondly, I am convinced that banning cars makes a significant contribution to reducing the noise pollution that has an adverse impact on people's mental health. A good example is that when hearing car horns during traffic jams, people may feel stress and anxiety. Furthermore, if they hear it for a long time, they can be faced with deafness. Consequently, some people have to keep their windows closed to stay away from noisy sounds as well as to avoid busy streets.
In conclusion, therefore, I strongly support the idea that traffic should be banned from city centres, as this would enable people to rediscover cities as pleasant and healthy places to live.
I see right away that you are beginning to write the wrong type of essay. This is not an advantages/ /disadvantages essay; it is an opinion essay.

You did not answer this question. You just ignored it. You wrote an answer to a different question.

The examiner is looking for an answer to this question: To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is good to know a good handful of adverbs of extent because this is a very common prompt in IELTS Task 2 essays.
Complete agreement / disagreement:
------------
completely
fully
totally
wholeheartedly
unreservedly
with no reservations
without reservation
unequivocally
unquestionably
with no hesitation
unconditionally
Partial agreement / disagreement:
----------------
somewhat
partially
partly
to some extent / to a limited extent / to a point
with (some / certain / a few) reservations
conditionally
By the way, some students write "I partly agree." and then go on to write an advantages/disadvantages essay. This can be successful if you are an highly-skilled essay writer, at band score 8 or 9. For students at lower band scores, I strongly recommend them to take one position -- fully agree or fully disagree -- and do not sit on the fence. It will be much easier to get your highest potential score.

Firstly, I am in favour of eliminating private vehicles The first, and most important reason is because of the pollution. It is generally agreed that traffic (wrong word) exhaust fumes have has a detrimental effect on people's health. For instance, many people nowadays are facing respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis that are caused by these emissions and fumes from cars. Obviously, we are not able to live a healthy life in such environmental conditions. Moreover, it is often pointed out that the acids in exhaust excessive traffic damages the stonework of historic monuments and beautiful buildings. In places like Venice and Athens, the ancient buildings are crumbling and protecting them is exceedingly costly. because roads for private vehicles are constructed on a daily basis. (That is not logical..) It can be said that excessive traffic also affects the beauty and scenery of a city.

Furthermore, if they hear it for a long time, they can experience temporary be faced with deafness which can progressively become worse..
