Cars should be banned in the city
Thesis : Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Arguments: Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world.Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

Text 1
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations
is the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and
in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer
and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be
chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and
environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest
in agriculture and livestock.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious
problem for three reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimens and
experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which
is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not
for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very
dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak
and the use formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these
days it has really happened, the citizen’s bodies will be badly contaminated with the
poisons.
Fish or food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous
preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that
should be for the human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and
other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.
