SEQ writing techniques III - How the weighing paragraph looks like

2 key things in weighing:
1. The choice of preferred factor MUST match the stand. Hence, you need to pre-decide your factor beforehand. You need to study and prepare!

2. The weighing paragraph consists of:
a. Defining the weighing word
b. Explain how the chosen factor meets the defiition
c. Explain how the other 2 factors are less able to meet the definition.

Model answer for traffic flow essay weighing paragraph:
In conclusion, the most effective method of mangaing traffic flow is the method that has the widest impact by controlling traffic flow throughout Singapore and at any time of the day. The VQS will be able too directly control the number of vehicles on the road by issuing fewer COEs than cars scrapped. By doing this over a few months, the overall car population will decrease and all roads will be free from jams. This will cut down the number of vehicles on all Singapore roads and therefore reduce traffic congestion across Singapore at any one time. However, ERP and Park and Ride can only control traffic at the CBD area and has no impact on traffic flow outside of the CBD area. The ERP system is also operational at only some times and thus it has no impact on taffic flow outside of these times. Hence, the method that can control traffic on all road and at all times would be the VQS.
