4. (24/09/2016) Many countries use fossil fuels such as coal or oil as the
main sources of energy. However, in some countries the use of alternative
sources of energy is encouraged. Do you think this a positive or negative
development?
Essay:
As a result of the environmental
problems which have resulted from
traditional dependence on fossil fuels,
some countries have invested in dependence [on] [noun]: the state of
alternative energy sources. Although needing something in order to survive
or be successful
there are some dangers in this new
approach, I believe that the benefits
outweigh the drawbacks.
On the one hand, there are certainly
