Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries and contributes a great deal to economies around the world. however, the damage tourism can cause to local cultures and the environment is often ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Currently, tourism is a field that improving rapidly and bringing huge amounts of income to every country's budget. While, according to the majority's thoughts, people should concern about its adverse impacts on the culture and the environment of local areas as our priority. But I disagree with this issue because usually many tourists are attracted by specifically local customs and nature and are highly respectful towards them, as well as with the help of massive economical profits, any problem regarding this phenomenon can be solved quite easily.

In a number of countries, some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. Others believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
In some countries, super-fast trains are viewed as a necessity to be built to connect cities, while others think the improvement of existing public transport should be prioritized. I agree with the latter viewpoint as allocating the budget for enhancing the current public transport can lead to greater impact.
