A magazine wants to include contributions from its readers for an article called ‘The book that influenced me most'. Write a letter to the editor of the magazine about the book that influenced you most. In your letter -describe what this book was about -explain how this book influenced you -say whether this book would be likely to influence other people
I am writing this letter about the book that incredibly influenced me. The book was named 'The Ultimate Guide of Future'. As the name of the book itself mentions the meaning of the book is about guidance of upcoming years, it exactly gives the roadmap to get successful further in terms of career and life. Also, the language used in the book is easily understood as it is very simple plain English.

Some people think that it should be compulsory for people to retake their driving test every 5 years. What are the advantages and disavantages of doing this?
In many countries, it is widely agreed that drivers should renew their driving licence after five years this one has been granted. This practice may present benefits, but also implies many costs associated with it. What is more, regarding the range of age of the users, in some countries this requirement lowers when people go over their seventies. In my point of view, despite some disadvantages, it is wise to set this requirement in order to keep the accident records low.

Many citites around the world are facing severe traffic congestion problems. what are the main causes for this issue and what solutions can be implementedt to solve it ?
Nowadays, urban cities are having trouble with heavy traffic jams. Lack of appropriate public transportation as well as excessive utilisation of cars by people is a major reason for this obstacle. Implementation of strict policies by the state along with improving the condition of the public transportation system would be the right step in the direction of gradually controlling this complication.

It is often said that governments spend too much mo ey on projects to protect wildlife, while there are other problems. That are more important? Do you agree or disagree?
In today’s climate, protecting wildlife has become a controversial minefield. It is a widely held view that protecting wildlife has an extravagant cost for governments which can be used for solving more important problems, a theory which I strongly disapprove of.
