Discuss both views and give your opinion. Sample Band 8 Essay Some people believe that school transport should be handled by the government, while others think that this responsibility falls squarely on parents’ shoulders. As with any debatable issue, each argument carries merit and there are several factors to be considered, to reach a sensible conclusion.
