Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is argued that the government should invest in railways instead of roads. In my opinion, I strongly agree with this point of view because not only rail lines are more environmentally friendly but they also prevent traffic jams.

People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your opinion.
It is widely believed that one solution to environmental problems would be for governments to raise the price of petrol. While I consider that this might be an effective measure, I would argue that other measures might have an even greater impact.

Many companies invest their money in sport games for advertisement purposes. Some people think it's good for the sport world, while others believe that it has some disadvantages. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
A lot of businesses spend their money on marketing sports games. People believe is it a good idea that is going to benefit the sports world, while others do not. I think it is a sword with double edges because on the one hand is going to help the firm to be famous, but on the other hand, that advertised product might be bad for humans.
