a majority of citizens prefer the megalopolitan as well. In the coming ,paragraphs I will be discussing views on both sides of the spectrum. living in the centre is advantageous but the disadvantages outweigh its counterpart. Mainly living in the megalopolitan comes with lots of air pollution due to vehicles in the streets that commute from the periphery to the downtown for their day-to-day work, which emits a huge amount of co2 into the air making it hard to breathe.

For instance

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?
Nowadays, English has become the most used language in the world. It serves as the primary language for international communication, science, business, and technology. However, the English language can risk fading the local language. Therefore, in my opinion, although learning English is useful, still the local language has to be preserved in the future.

Air traffic is increasingly leading to more noise, air polution and airport construction. One reason for this is the growth in low-cost passenger flights, often to holiday destinations. Some people say that governments should try to reduce air traffic by taxing it more heavily. Do you agree or disagree?
The development of aircraft industries raises some problems for the environment for example air and sound pollution, and also increasing demand for airport buildings. Low-cost carrier aircraft are one of the reasons for the air traffic industry's growth. Some people think the government's taxes could lower air traffic, and I agree with it. In this essay, I will write some reasons that support my argument.

It is thought by some that is is better to live in a city while others believe that life is better in the countryside. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
