There is too much noise in many public places in cities.
What are the causes of this problem? = causes
What can be done to solve the problem? = solutions
People often complain about noise pollution in public places in cities. While this can be attributed to increased levels of traffic in cities and construction, encouraging people to use public transportation and relocating urban developments can alleviate/mitigate the problem.
One major driver of noise pollution in public places is the sheer number of private cars. This is because many people opt for such vehicles because of the comfort they provide: they are fast, convenient, and allow people to travel wherever they want. Alternative options, such as buses, mini buses, and subways are often overcrowded and not so well maintained. Overpopulation is another contributory factor. In recent years, rural-to-urban migration has increased, which resulted in an increased demand for housing. In order to meet this demand, a large scale of construction is taking place in urban centers, leading to excessive noise levels.
However, there are many steps that can be taken to address the problem. Firstly, people should be encouraged to rely on public transportation rather than private cars. If there were more frequent public transport, with improved comfort for passengers, they would be more likely to take those modes of transports. As a result, noise generated by private cars would be reduced. Another effective solution is to move constructions to other areas. When these developments are relocated away from densely-populated areas of the city, such as the outskirts, this can drastically reduce the amount of noise in city centers.
In conclusion, the main reasons behind the increased noise in cities are the traffic and construction but investment in public transportation and relocation of some developments can resolve the issue.

Many old people do not do exercise.
What are the reasons?
What can be done?
The majority of elderly people avoid doing physical exercise. While this can be attributed to a high risk of injury and lack of sporting facilities, the situation can be alleviated by hiring a personal trainer and offering more opportunities to do sports.
The fear of injury is one factor that may prevent old people from doing sports. As people age, they tend to become weaker and susceptible to injuries. If they pick up an injury, it may take a long time for them to recover. So, old people often think they are better off without any exercise. Inadequate sporting facilities can be another reason. Many neighborhoods do not offer basic opportunities for doing sports, such as gyms, football pitches, or swimming pools. People may feel reluctant to take up sports, if these facilities are far away from where they live.
However, there are several ways by which the issue can be resolved. Firstly, people should consider hiring a personal trainer. When a professional coach creates exercise regimes and works together with old people, this can reduce the chances of exercise-related injuries. This can encourage the elderly to do sports more frequently. Providing enough opportunities for sports in neighborhoods can also be effective. If there are gyms, tennis courts, swimming pools, and football pitches nearby, many old people are likely to grow interest in doing sports.
In conclusion, the main reasons why many old people do not do sports are a high risk of injury and insufficient sporting facilities. However, working with a personal trainer and access to sporting facilities can encourage elderly people to do exercise.

We’ll do a reading passage together. And I’ll explain a thing or two and then we’ll have Q and A.
Btw, I got 9.0 in reading ♾️ times 😂😂🤫🤫
If you are an experienced teacher/instructor, flexing on your reading and listening scores is downright embarrassing.
Getting 8.5/9.0 in reading and listening is the bare minimum.
On a related note, shall we do a reading passage together? 👀👀

Some people think that the best way to increase road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars or riding motorbikes.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that the most effective approach to improve road safety is to increase the legal age when people become eligible for driving cars or riding motorbikes. While this can contribute to safety on roads, I believe there are far better ways to achieve this.
Immature drivers are one of the main reasons for the increase in traffic accidents. These people often have characteristics that may make them break traffic rules. For example, younger drivers have a tendency for reckless driving, speeding, and being involved in illegal races. If the minimum legal age for obtaining driver’s license was increased, this would prevent many road accidents resulting from immature behavior.
However, other more effective approaches should be explored. One is offering regular education to drivers. This is because young drivers are not the only ones who commit traffic violations. So, instead of targeting one demographic, all the drivers should be educated even after they obtain their license. This would ensure that drivers have the chance to update their knowledge on operating vehicles and further improve their skills, which can contribute to road safety.
Imposing stricter punishment is another solution. Oftentimes, it is due to lenient penalties that some drivers break traffic rules and these mild punishments somewhat encourage such a behavior as the consequences of a traffic violation are not harsh. If traffic offenders face more severe punishments, such as hefty fines, license suspension, and jailtime, these can serve as a deterrent to potential law-breakers, potentially improving the safety of both drivers and passengers.
In conclusion, increasing the minimum driving age is not the most sensible way to make our roads safer. Instead, governments should educate drivers on a regular basis and introduce harsher punishments.

As part of the WRITING COURSE, I wrote an essay(half of it)
We’ve looked into:
✅How to research topics using articles and chatGPT
✅How to write 2 types of introductions
✅How to write very good topic sentences
✅How to develop main arguments
Here’s the essay:
Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
My position: advantages outweigh the disadvantages
Version 1: Problems related to transport and accommodation are forcing many businesses to relocate
from urban centers to rural areas. While there are some downsides to moving to rural areas, they are
outweighed by the benefits.
Version 2: Problems related to transport and accommodation are forcing many businesses to relocate
from urban centers to rural areas. The downsides of moving to rural areas can include slower growth for
businesses and inadequate transport infrastructure but these drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits,
such as the lower cost of doing business and lack of competition.
One disadvantage of opening a business in rural areas is the slow rate of growth. Many urban businesses witness faster growth thanks to unique selling points, customer services and customer-drive products, while in rural areas, businesses may have smaller customer base and the cost of living in these areas is also lower. This often means that it may take longer for a business to thrive than those in urban areas. Poor transport infrastructure can be another drawback. This especially poses a challenge for businesses
that rely on transportation. For example, businesses that import or export products can be at a disadvantage as they may face delays in delivering or receiving goods due to the lack of adequate
infrastructure.

Many students find it difficult to focus or pay attention at school nowadays.
What are the reasons for this?
What can be done to solve this problem?
Paying attention to the lessons at school has become challenging for many students. While this can be attributed to distractions such as phones and teacher-centered lessons, imposing restrictions on phones and organizing more interactive lessons can alleviate the situation.
Phones can be the main culprit behind the lack of concentration in students. Students frequently use social media applications and other platforms to socialize with their peers, stay updated with current affairs, or watch entertaining content. Even during the lessons, students often receive notifications and send messages to each other, which can definitely divide their attention. Outdated teaching methods are another factor. In many countries, it is the teacher who speaks the most during the lessons while student involvement remains very low. This often results in boredom and lack of attention.
However, there are many ways by which the problem can be addressed. Firstly, the exposure to phones should be restricted. To do this, parental supervision is crucial as parents have more control over their children. Schools can also contribute to limiting phone usage by banning electronic devices in their premises. Apart from this, teachers should start implementing contemporary teaching techniques in their lessons. The lessons would be more engaging if the they were more student-oriented and teachers made use of modern technologies.
In conclusion, the main reasons behind the lack of attention during the lessons are phones and boring lessons but the situation can be improved by restricting phone usage and offering more interactive lessons.
