1 Do you agree that people should not have to pay to use public transportation.

When talking about whether people should have to pay to use public transportation, people always have a heated discussion. Some people oppose the statement that says people should not pay to use the public transportation arguing that this will be harmful for the revenue of public transportation. Nevertheless, I stick to this opinion due to following reasons.

First and foremost, the issue encouraging me to hold this opinion is that the free public transportation will help to reduce the traffic jams and in the large cities, one of the most serious problems is traffic jams and we have to spend much time on it. A survey made by a newspaper showed that the 80 percent of the cars running on the road are private cars. It is the main reason accounting for the traffic jams. If public transportation is free, more people will be attracted to use it. And the more people there are who use the bus or subway, the less private cars will be used. Then not only will the traffic jams be reduced, but also the pollution will be reduced. In the downtown, the major source of the pollution is air pollution caused by the automobiles. And if there is less use of private cars, this will also be improved.

Second,the policy of free public transportation could be relevant in improving the impression of the government. In this way, the government can effectively serve the public. In some countries, the people do not trust their government because the government does not pay enough attention to improving their life in terms of traffic conditions, for example.And the free public transportation is a very suitable and effective way to improve government image.

Furthermore, with the rapid development of the society, we face more and more pollution problems.One of the famous problems is global warming caused by the wide use of fossil fuels. Large quantities of fuel are used by private cars so the effective way to solve this problem is by reducing the use of cars. And the free mass transportation can have crucial influence on it. Since more people will be attracted to use mass transportation, fewer people will use their private cars. So free public transportation plays a very crucial role in improving the air condition. Admittedly, free public transport will bring some disadvantages. It will make more burden for the governments finances. Maybe it will make the quality of public transportation decrease too. However the free public transport can acquire more advantages than disadvantages.

Considering what have discussed above, we can safely get the conclusion that people should not have to pay for public transport and it will benefit not only the government

but also the public.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Younger people should try different jobs before they decide which job or career they will do in the long term.

When talking about how to make the career of the young man more successful, people always have a heated debate about whether the young people should try different jobs before they decide which job or career they will do in the long term. Some people oppose the statement and say that it is harmful for the people do try the different jobs before making a decision and argue in this way, while others support the statement and say the young people will learn more about the jobs. Nevertheless, I stick to opposing this opinion due to the following reasons.

First and foremost, the issue encouraged me to oppose this motion because changing jobs is detrimental for the command of the skills used in these jobs. These skills are so complicated that we could not master them in a relatively short time. Only after much practice, the skills can be commanded very well. In the modern society, the young people always change their job very frequently, and they do not pay much attention to the knowledge which is very important for their future career and it is more and more difficult for them to find a suitable job. Then they will change their job more frequently. It is a very harmful cycle.

Second, it could be relevant to another point which is that changing jobs will make your boss angry and even make him or her think that you are not a reliable employee. Being trusted by the boss is a very indispensable feature to make you succeed. For example, my friend Tom is most intelligent and diligent among his workmates, but he never gets the chance to be promoted to marketing department manager because before he came into this company, he had changed his job several times and his boss was unsatisfied with this point and never trusts him.

Admittedly, trying different jobs has some advantage to you. It provides a good opportunity for you to know about the prospects for the jobs. It will also let you know which kinds of job are more suitable for you. But I must say that changing job can acquire far more drawbacks than merit

Considering what have been talking about above, we can easily get the conclusion

that the young should not try different jobs before they decide which jobs what they will take. It is an indeed overstatement that changing jobs can bring some advantages for our future, and we should focus our attention on developing the skills of the jobs and not changing jobs so frequently. This will be more beneficial for the young people`s future.

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people to do this.

When talking about that whether young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year after they finished high school, there are general some heated debate. It is obviously that this staff has some advantages and disadvantages, however, different people have different opinions.

First of all, I want to state that there are many advantages, for example, the young people who worked or traveled for a year have some more knowledge which can not be learned from the school about the society. They will also know which part of the knowledge is more crucial for their future life or work. It is very important for them to set their goals.
