10. The natural resources such as oil, and fresh water are being consumed at an alarming rate. What problems does it cause? How can we solve these problems?
Due to excessive population and widespread industrialization, it is evident that the natural resources such as oil, forest and fresh water are getting limited day by day. With implementing following steps, we can deplete our natural resources. This essay will discuss the problems and solutions to prevent the cause.
Firstly, oil is the major non- renewable source. The main cause for the same is excessive population.
It is used in running vehicles, industries. For saving the oil people should start using public transportation. Furthermore, government should start reducing public transport fares, metro should start running 24x7, people should start doing carpooling. Otherwise oil will get finished soon.
Secondly water, especially fresh water is another area of concern. There is no survival of life without water. Fresh water is depleting fast. Every individual should use water as an when required. For an example, in the last research, several cities were affected in India due to shortage of water. People did not had water to drink. Additionally, government should take serious steps to save the water such as rain water harvesting, proper dams construction.
Lastly forest, because of deforestation animals are plants which gives us medicine and food are getting killed day by day. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Moreover, when trees are cuts, the soil is exposed to heavy rain and land sliding. Afforestation should be promoted as a solution such as plastic should be banned so that animals will be saved, use of less paper, plantation of more trees.
In conclusion, if we have to survive, we should start consuming the natural resources such as oil, water and forests. Otherwise our future generation will be affected.

Model answer
Dear Ms. McKeen,
My name is Leo Smith and I am a first-year student in your Marketing class at Capilano College. I am writing to you because I have a problem with the project you set about social media. The due date was last week but I'm afraid I haven't finished it yet. As you know, I have been absent from class for almost ten days with COVID-19 symptoms and I have not been attending lectures. I only managed to get the reading list from a friend and go to the library to do research yesterday. You will see from your records that I have never missed a deadline for an assignment so far during my course.
However, I am requesting an extension of one week in this case because I am so behind with my work. I hope you will take my illness into consideration and grant me an extension.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Smith

In past games, personality was not ideal in our society, but in the 21st century, their minds changed and sportspeople became heroes and people started following them. In my belief sports persons get lots of extra benefits neither faces any problems. We will discuss in detail what benefits players get in their sideline of games.
Many cricketers are known for their performance, for example, Shahid Afridi made the fastest century at Sharjah Stadium. After that, he became very popular as a game winner and aggressive player. Therefore, the international cricket leagues selected Shahid Afridi at a higher salary in their teams. This is another extra income for him. It would not be wrong to say that the more famous, higher the price.
Out Side the ground popular cricketers play an important role in various television commercials, because of public demand, for instance, Cricketer Virat kholi act in shampoo advertising behind the reason of popularity, I read a statement of company brands managers who said that; when that ads aired consumers liked so much and also product demand was higher . furthermore, sportsmen never retire, because after they will retired as a player, they will start new career as a commentator, coach, and sports analyst, like Retired Cricketer Wasim Akram, Ramiz Raja, Shoaib Akhter.
On the other hand, many of company invite well-known sportsperson as a chief guest for the popularity of events. Those types of events also highly paid. At the same time, many crickets participate in different social and awareness campaigns to influence their common man.
In conclusion, the most famous person turns into a cash figure. Some people say that its weight is in gold, so sports people just like it.
