We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during
our favourite programs. We think they should be stopped for a number of reasons.
First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes
there seems to be more ads than programs.
Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy
unhealthy food like beer, soft drink, candy and chips. And they make people want things
they do not really need.
Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programs people watch.
That is because they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people
watch. Some programs which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract
enough ads, even though those programs may be someone’s favourite.
For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt
programs. They are bad influences on people, and they are sometimes put a stop to people’s
favourite shows. We are sick of ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.

Circuses Should Not Use Animals
Animals should not be used in circus. The environment where they perform and their
living conditions are usually inappropriate. Tigers, for example which naturally live in
wilderness, must perform tricks on a narrow stage and spend their lifetime in a small cage.
Besides, the living conditions of the circus animals are poor. They live in a cramped
condition most of the time. They actually need more space to roam. They also do not have
freedom to live with their own kind.
We should ban the use of animals in circus and their confinement there.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several
things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much
as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course
means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region.
Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide
produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore,
fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no
electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.
So, from now we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.

Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues.
People were affected severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut their
spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also
fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.
Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because
their expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim
the number of employees because they are incapable of managing, buying or selling price,
standard wages and personal affairs.
Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but the
solution should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to
enhance productivity to its maximum.

Cars should be banned
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a
lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, give contribution to the most of the pollution in the world.
Cars emit deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night,
or to concentrate on your homework, and especially when you talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city for the reason listed.
