TOPIC： THE ADVANTAGES AND / OR DISADVANTAGES OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

     

      Public transportation plays important role for modern society. There are some advantages and disadvantages of public transportation. 

      

      An important advantage of public transportation is that it improves traffic conditions. Public transportation reduces the number of private cars on the road, so it prevents road damages and traffic congestion. 

      On the other hand, public transportation has some problems. One of the problems is that it is less accessible than using private cars, especially in small population areas. These areas do not have convenient transportation systems. 

      In Japan, public transportation systems are believed to be safe, but once an accident happens, there will be lots of victims of the accidents, so public transportation still have both advantages and disadvantages.

 Dear Charles.
Hello.

The other day, I was reading the article on the Internet and it said that NASA scientists had discovered a new planet that was similar to Earth and there might be water on it. I thought it was really exciting! Do you think life exist in outer space?

I also read many other articles. The Internet is so convenient! Do you think the Internet will replace newspapers?

By the way, I've heard that many people are suffering from depression these days. What do you think are the cause and solution of this?

My answer

Dear Olivia

Hello.

The news about discovering a new planet is really exciting. Some water has found in space. Our life comes from woter, so I think there are some life exist in outer space. 

The Internet is really useful and I think the Internet replace newspapers. We can get much information from the Internet than newspapers. In addition, we can get many of the Internet news for free.

I think depression comes from loneliness. We need to communicate people as much as we can. 

Take care.

Your response should be around 100 words in length.


Dear Yuka.
Hi, how's it going?

I watched the TV this morning and there was a lot of news about celebrities. Do you think it is a good idea for the media to broadcast the private lives of celebrities?

The TV program also said that most children today have cell phones. Do you think this is a good idea?

By the way, I've heard that more than 30,000 people commit suiside in Japan every year. What do you think are the causes of this?

Write back soon.
Ryan


My answer

Hello, Ryan.

I'm doing well, thanks.

I don't think the media should broadcast celebrities' private lives because the media has more important things to broadcast like politics, economics and entertainment.

Next, I don't believe children should have cell phones. Children have to study hard, so they don't have time to use cell phones. Moreover, using cell phones costs a lot of money.

Many people commit suicide in Japan because of mental illnesses. Japanese people work hard and don't take enough vacations. That would destroy their mental health.

Write again soon.

Yuka
