TOPIC: Cycling is more environmentally friendly than other forms of transport.

Why is it not popular in

many places? And how to increase its popularity?

It is often argued that ridding a bicycles is environmentally friendly than other means of transport.
Nevertheless, not many people in the world incline to this kind of vehicle. This issue can be attributed to
a number of reason, and it must be deal with by appropriate solutions.

On the other hand, there are several compelling reason why few people use bicycles on a regular basic.
The primary reason is that pedaling is more physically demanding than riding a motorbike or riding a car.
In fact, it is a nuisance for commuters to travel along distance by bicycles, especially under harsh
weather such as the scotching heat or downpours.

This will deter citizens from opting for this vehicles. In addition to this, compared to other means of
transport, pedaling is more time-consuming and less convenient. Due to the hectic pace of life in this
day and ages, people have a tendency to be so occupied that they have to struggle with a heavy
workload. Thus, people with to ease the amount of time spending on the road by giving priority to the
use of motorbikes and cars.

On the other hand, there are several feasible measures should be implemented to tackle this pressing
issue. One of methods is that the government should be launch campaigns to raise public awareness of
the negative impacts of private vehicles on the environment. It is apparent that personal vehicles incline
to release huge amount of greenhouse emissions which result in natural catastrophes in recent years
such as floods or droughts. These damages can be curbed by incentivizing citizen to select greener
vehicles in general and frequently pedal in particular.

Another feasible method is imposing heavy taxes on individual vehicles. By making motorbikes and cars
exorbitant, citizen will be discouraged to purchase this kind of vehicle. As a result, an increasing number
of people choose bicycles as their primary means of transport.

In conclusion, there are clear reasons why bicycles are not favor by a host of people. However, this
negative trend can be tackled by the above – mentioned methods such as encouraging individual to use
this eco-friendly vehicles and levying heavy taxes on private vehicles.

TOPIC: The consumption of the world ‘resources (oil and water…) is increasing at a dangerous rate.
What are causes and solutions?

In recent years, the natural resources of the world are being consumed at an alarming rate. This issue
can be attributed to be a number of reasons, and it must be addressed by appropriate solutions.

One the other hand, there are a several compelling reason why the natural resources of the world are
overexploited. The primary reasons is the swelling population combined with the rapid development of
modern life.

To satisfy diverse needs of humans, demand for consuming the natural resources which are taken
advantage of to produce energy for domestic and industrial activities is increasing at an exponential rate
in nowadays world. This lead to huge amount of oil and petrol that are overexploited.
Another clear reason is low individual awareness. A typical example of this is that in metropolis in Viet
Nam where city dwellers are in the habit of leaving taps running and leaving light switched on
unnecessarily. These simple yet negative habits can contribute to exacerbating the energy crisis.

One the other hand, a range of feasible measures should be implemented to deal with this urgent issue.
One of the methods is that the government has a duty to impose higher taxes on personal vehicles.
Thanks to this, people who own motorbikes or cars become discouraged to purchase such kinds of
vehicles, thus leading to the decline in consuming huge amount of petrol. This could be done by
subsidizing companies to generate environmentally friendly energy to incorporate solar into their
homes.

In conclusion, there are several clear reasons why natural resources of the world is excessively
exploited. However, this negative trend could be tackled by the above –mentioned methods such as
levying heavy taxes on private vehicles and incentivizing the use of eco-friendly energy.

TOPIC: Many people say that we have developed into a throw –away culture because we are filling up
our environment with so many plastic bags and rubbish that we cannot fully dispose of. What are the
cause and measures can you recommend reducing this problem?

It is universally believed that humans have developed into a throw-away society, as many people tend to
dispose nylon bags and trash without considering the environmental issues. This problem can be tackled
by appropriate solutions.

On the other hand, there are several compelling reason why the living settings is becoming increasingly
contaminated. The primary reason is the booming population combined with mass production. To
satisfy diverse needs of human nowadays, demand for goods is increasing at an exponential rate, which
leads to huge quantity of garbage emerging everywhere. A typical example of this is that in densely
populated metropolis such as Beijing, citizens incline to throw a variety of unwanted products into trash
bins such as plastic bottle and electronic devices as soon as they purchase never goods. This will put
heavy pressure on waste treatment plants and pose a threat to the living conditions.

In addition, low individual awareness is another culprit. In fact, inhabitants who are not environment-
conscious incline to convenience of short shelf life goods regardless of the negative impacts on the
natural world. However, host of feasible methods can be implemented to curb this pressing issue.

One of the methods is that the government’ intervention. If the stricter laws were imposed on non-
ecofriendly manufactures, they would be forced to use environmentally friendly ingredients as well as
materials recycling such as glass, waste metal or plastic. Such materials can be utilized in other industrial
sectors, thus alleviating the waste load to landfill sites.

Another feasible measure is to raise public awareness of protecting the living condition and adopting
green habit. This could be done by incentivizing each individuals to purchase durable and versatile items
coupled with reusing and repairing their materials.

In conclusion, in today’s world, disposed items tend to be ubiquitous, and throw away waste more than
ever before. However, this negative trend could be deal with by the above-mentioned methods, such as
the state interferences and heightened public awareness of the importance of the environmental
protection.
TOPIC: More and more students are choosing to study at colleges and universities in a foreign country.
Do the benefits of studying abroad outweigh the drawback?

In recent years, a growing number of students have pursuing higher education in foreign country. While
there are some drawbacks to this trend issue. I believe that the benefits can far overshadow the pitfalls.

On the one hand, there are a myriad of benefits associated with studying overseas. To begin with,
foreign institutions provide more superb course, compared to domestic ones. A typical example of this is
that some prestigious universities such as Harvard or Cambridge usually hire teachers who are experts in
their fields, which allows students to gain a deeper insight into their major.

On the other hand, there are some potential downsides when it comes to enrolling higher education in
different countries. One of the most striking consequences is language barrier. This mean that overseas
students have to communicate with all surrounding people in another language on regular basic which
can be challenged to be proficient and fully comprehend what native people mentions.

Another concern is that financial issue. Since it can be explained that foreign institutions tend to be
exorbitant than domestic ones. Their parents have to pay more for airplane ticket, food,
accommodation of their offspring apart from tuition.

Beside that the above pitfalls there are some gians from studying overseas. For one, I suppose studying
overseas can broaden student’s horizons. When residing and studying in a new context with completely
different social norms and traditional customs. Overseas student stand a chance to interact with people
of various nationalities and then they have deeply comprehend about cultural diversity as well as
respect of the life.

In addition to this, they can improve language for themselves. Because studying and living abroad will
provide students with the opportunity of acquiring a second language at a social and professional level
through communicating with native speaker or people from all over the world.

In conclusion, there are several pitfall for this trend, from my opinion, the gain of pursuing higher
education in abroad can outweigh the drawback such as having access to a better education and
broaden their know-how.
