Some people think that one of the best ways to solve environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuels for cars and other vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Over the past decades, environmental problems have never failed to draw public attention and provoke debates. Although the severity and urgency of addressing environmental problems properly are hardly arguable, the issue as to whether governments should deal with these issues with higher price of fuels or not remains controversial. From my own perspective, I consider this approach is ineffective. Firstly, it is important to recognize that although the occurrence of positive outcome towards environment is almost inevitable, the final result may not be as expected for long. Some may hold optimistic attitude that this particular approach would be the effect on limiting the number of cars and thereby reducing the amount of environment-damaging gas emission. This argument could be true to some extent. However, they should take into account the fact that since the cost of public transport would also be affected, resistance in people with the need of travel seems to be inevitabl...

I disagree with the view that celebrities have to accept the manner in which their private lives are made public by the media. lt is undeniable that they are in the spotlight and want to be popular by choice. However, their rights to privacy need to be protected as well, as they too are humans. I shall put forth my arguments in this essay. To commence with, celebrities are already under a lot of pressure to perform well, as they are public figures and are always in the public eye.
