The best way to solve the world’s environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel. Do you agree or disagree with this view?
The Internet has become increasingly prevalent in education. Many universities are now offering online courses instead of traditional classrooms. From my perspective, I would contend that any potential advantages of this off-campus learning are outweighed by its significant disadvantages.

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. 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, alcohol and tobacco companies already pay higher taxes and secondly, higher taxes could raise prices and lower consumption.

In some countries, it is illegal for companies to reject job applicants based on their age. This policy has generated debate among different sectors of society, with some people viewing it as a positive development, while others consider it a negative one. Personally, I think this policy is mainly a positive one.

Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
In the era of globalization, international travel has become increasingly common. While some advocate for charging foreign visitors higher fees than locals for cultural and historical attractions, I believe this policy is only partially justified.
