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.

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.

D. public transportation reduces the use of private vehicles to public facilities
E. public transportation benefits for those who do not have cars or private vehicles

Food waste is a very serious issue in the world. Most people don't realize how often
they waste food and the negative impacts it can have for food security, the environment,
and climate change. Therefore, in my opinion, food waste is bad for some reasons.
First, food waste can cause climate change. When thrown into landfill, food waste
produces a large amount of methane. As food rots and degrades, it emits these harmful
gases. These gases are more harmful than carbon dioxide in terms of trapping heat in the
atmosphere.
Second, food waste represents a great waste of freshwater and ground water
resources. We use a lot of water when producing food. If we throw away food, we were
wasting water.
Lastly, food waste has an effect on society. While we were throwing food out, many
people around the world have limited access to food. Wasting food raises social questions,
particularly given the current global financial crisis, rising food prices and international food
shortages.
From those reasons, it can be concluded that food waste has negative impacts on
climate, water, and society

Most people live in the cities. As the result, the cities become crowded. In my
opinion, living in a city is not fun as you think. There are some reasons to support my
opinion.
First, living in the city can affect cardiovascular health. Because of larger
populations, cities can have higher levels of pollution, including noise pollution. This could be
damaging to your health in the long- term. Too much exposure to air pollution and city noise
may cause damage to a person's cardiovascular health.
Second, houses are more compact in urban areas. There are often fewer green
spaces. It means you may not always be able to enjoy natural spaces. As we know that green
areas help people to recover faster from illness and stress.
The last reason is the higher cost of living. People typically think of when considering
moving to a city. Normal living expenses such as rent and utilities tend to be higher in big
cities and you may have additional living expenses you wouldn't have in the suburbs such as
parking permits and laundry.
From those reasons, do you still think of moving to a crowded city?

A. the benefits of living in a city
