A long-distance flight consumes as much fuel as a car consumes in several years time, and causes the same amount of pollution as cars. So some people think we should abandon none essential flights and it is more efficient than restricting the car. To what extent do you agree or dis agree?
It is sometimes argued that unnecessary air travel should be completely stopped instead of restricting road transport as both these modes of transport use the same amount of fuel and generates as much pollution. This essay disagrees that nonessential aeroplane travel needs to be banned. Firstly, people need to go to another country for tourism as most of the borders can’t be crossed by road and secondly, air travel is a source of income for many in different ways

In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is predicted by some people that no one will choose to purchase printed newspapers or books since these materials will be capable of being gained from the Internet without paying. From my perspective, although this trajectory may be foreseen by a group of people due to the issue of technical development, the actual form of reading materials will not be gotten without exchange because of the issue of copyright.

Many countries raise fuel prices to deal successfully with problems of traffic and polluon. What effects do you think this move can have? What other measures do you think can be taken to reduce traffic and pollution ?
There are arguments in public that the significant approaches to overcome pollution and traffic jam is increase the price of the fuel. Personally, I do think this is a good attempt but this leads to another problem such as stucking food suplies for farmers therefore another methode should be tried ; government can improve public transports and limited the number of selling vehicle in their county.

Some people think that hosting an international sports event is good for a country, while some think it is bad. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
For a long time, sports have provided important events around the world. While a faction declares that holding an international sports meeting results in drawbacks for the hosting country, I argue that they are relevant, considering their impacts on the local economy.
