When we visit a public place, we may find people littering. Personally, I don't like
people who litters. I think littering should be fined.
First, there is lack of awareness of people. People litter because they feel no sense of
ownership. They believe that someone else will pick up after them. Even worse, they notice
that the litter has accumulated. As the result, the litter will affect on humans' health and
surrounding environment.
Second, most litters are cigarette butts and plastic bottles. As we know, cigarette butts
take 2-5 years to break down. They make up nearly 20% of all items littered and leach toxic
chemicals into our water. Plastic bottle also takes one million years to break down and
release a harmful chemical, BPA, into our water when it degrades. You know what? There
are 26 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away annually.
Finally, cleaning and pleking up trash take a lot of money. For instance, in Texas, 24
million dollars are spent avery year to pick up trash off the roadsides. Only 10% of highways
are cleaned by volunteers, the other 90's are cleaned by people paid with the tax. We have
to pay transportation, guard, equipment, staff, and their food.
From those reasons, I absolutely agree that littering should be fined.

A. degenerates
B. melts
C. eminates
D. breaks down
E. loses
The Importance of
Public Transportation
In some towns, there is no public transportation, except motorcycle taxis. Some
people find difficulties to go to somewhere inside the town. I think public transportations in
the town are very important.
The first reason is that public transportation provides people with mobility and
access. People need public transportation to employment, community resources, medical
care, and recreational opportunities in communities. Public transportation may also be
serving as a temporary means of transportation until they are able to purchase a car. Transit
may also serve as a temporary means of transportation to persons having their private
vehicles repaired.
The second reason is that public transportation benefits those who choose to ride, as
well as those who have no other choice. Over 90 percent of public assistance recipients do
not own a car and must rely on public transportation. Public transit provides a basic mobility
service to them and to all others without access to a car.
The third reason is that the existence of public transportation can also help to reduce
the town problems. When people prefer public transportation to their private vehicles, it
can reduce road congestion and travel times, air pollution, and energy and oil consumption,
all of which benefit both riders and non-riders alike.
From these reasons, areas with public transportation systems offer advantages to
businesses and individuals choosing to work or live in them. Therefore, it is obvious that
public transportation is important.
