In many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining. Why do you think this is happening? How can this issue be solved?
We are living in a modern era where the amount of flora and fauna is at risk of extinction. In my opinion, this alarming problem is caused by the existence of an inordinate number of urbanisations as well as global warming. However, it can be solved by the government not only implementing strict rules on the logging field but also collaborating with individuals.

Although students may have less social interactions during their studies, I believe that this disadvantage can be outweighted by the fact that students can have a wider choice of college programmes.

In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is argued that governments should levy a tariff on junk food because the number of health risks associated with consuming this kind of food is on the rise. This essay agrees that a higher rate of tax should be paid by fast food companies. Firstly, this essay will discuss the fact that alcohol and tobacco companies already pay higher taxes and secondly, discuss how higher taxes would raise prices and lower consumption.
