Nowadays, consuming a great deal of junk food lead to health issues that more and more people have to deal with. Moreover, to tackle with this situation, the government should impose a heavy tax on fast food. I completely agree with this point of views because these illnesses can cost too much money for treatment and an increasing in the price of fast food would reduce the needs of it.

The first reason why I agree with this statement is that people have to pay a great deal of money for treatment of health problems. Eating too much fast food can lead to many diseases that people have to face with such as obesity and high blood pressure. As a result, people who suffer from these illness go to the hospital frequently, which means that they have to pay much money for healthcare. Therefore, their financial strain can be affected significantly.

The second reason why I think the government should impose a higher tax on fast food because it will reduce the demand for this kind of food. An increase in tax of fast food will lead to the escalating in the price of this food. Therefore, a number of people who can afford to buy these foods also decrease, which means that the demand for it will reduce. As a result, the consuming of fast food witnesses a decrease, making a healthier community.

In conclusion, I believe that the government should increase the tax of fast food to tackle because illnesses stem from consuming too much fast food will cost a lot of money for healthcare and an increase in the price of these food can help to reduce the demand of it.

On the one hand, the reason why employees work for the same company is that it gives commuters more financial benefits. When people working in one organization for a long time, they will have is not only a stability but also a great deal of opportunities to climb the ladder in their careers based on the dedication of them for company. It means that the longer time they work for a company, the higher opportunities for the higher position they have, which lead to an escalation in their salaries.

On the other hand, I would argue that working for different companies is better because it provides employees with more experience. It will give commuters a chance to work at any kind of job, which means that they can gain a lot of knowledge. As a result, it will be a competitive advantage for employees in today's knowledge-based society, making them become well-rounded people.

The main drawback of living longer is that it cost a great deal of money for health care. An increase in life expectancy leads to health issues that people have to deal with when living longer such as heart diseases and cancer. As a result, they have to pay a great deal of money for health care in the hospital, which is a cause of financial strain on their families. In addition, it also costs more money for the government, because in some countries, there is a policy that the government will take the responsibility of paying for the health care of old people.

While there are several disadvantages of living longer, I believe that the benefits outweigh the cons because old people play an important role in some aspects. There are some old people who remain active and still dedicate for their workplace with longer experience. Moreover, they play an important role in teaching and helping the new generation, which would help young people better understand in some aspects such as history, job, and society.

A major problem linked with this phenomenon is that leading to a decrease in the quality of students in their studies. Students will be easy to get distraction during their lessons in a class by applications on smartphones such as Youtube, Facebook and games. As a result, they cannot gain knowledge about the lesson in class because they do not pay attention to it. Therefore, when these students take an examination in school, they will get a lower result than other students, which means that their quality of study is more and more badly than before.

In order to tackle this problem, elementary schools should ban students from using smartphones in class. Schools should give severe punishments for using smartphones in class. Thanks to this, it leads to a decrease in the number of students using smartphones in class. For example, if there are any students who use smartphones in class, they will receive a warning at the first time. In addition, if these students break the rule again, they will be forced to leave school for a week.

To begin with, the discrimination of society against criminals is the major cause of why they commit crimes after release from jail. There are no opportunities for criminals to apply for any jobs because employers do not want to hire these people, which has an impact on the reputation of company. As a result, they have to commit the law such as stealing things from other people to earn living.

There are several solutions that the government can take to tackle this problem. First, the government should offer a subsidy for criminals after release from jail until they can find a job, which reduces the rate of continuing to commit the law to earn a living of these people. Moreover, a public awareness campaign can be launched by the government to lessen the social stigma of criminals after released from prison. As a result, people who used to be a criminals will have more chances to improve their life again.

To begin with, I think traffic jams mainly take place at peak hours, which means that the given statement  is only valid up to some point. Because at the peak times, a lot of people go to street for various reason such as going to work or school, leading to a traffic jams in cities. But outside of peak hours, the number of people on street will reduce because they are in workplace or schools at this time. For example, Ho Chi Minh city in Viet Nam, citizens always experience traffic jams at 8:00 am because this is a period that a great deal of people will be on street to go to their workplace.

In order to reduce the traffic jams in many cities around the world, the government should imposing higher taxes on car owned by citizens. An increase in the price of private cars leads to the decrease in the number of people who can afford to buy cars. As a result, it lessen the number of cars on the street, which means that cities do not have to deal with traffic jams anymore.
