The Urgency of Reducing Plastic Waste
Plastic waste has become an alarming global issue, posing significant threats to our environment and health. Its widespread use and improper disposal have led to severe pollution in oceans, land, and even the air, making the reduction of plastic waste an urgent necessity.
Firstly, plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, leading to accumulation in landfills and natural habitats. This accumulation harms wildlife, as animals often mistake plastic for food, leading to internal injuries and starvation. Furthermore, microplastics, which result from the breakdown of larger plastic items, contaminate our food chain and water sources, potentially impacting human health. Therefore, adopting practices like using reusable bags, bottles, and containers, as well as supporting recycling initiatives, is crucial to mitigate these detrimental effects. By consciously reducing our reliance on single-use plastics, we can protect our planet for future generations. - (Example Answer)

In my opinion, social media has a more negative impact on teenagers. Firstly, it often leads to increased anxiety and depression due to constant comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives and the pressure to maintain an online persona. Secondly, excessive screen time on social media can detract from academic performance and reduce face-to-face social interaction, which is crucial for developing real-world communication skills. While it offers connectivity, the psychological and social drawbacks for teenagers are substantial. - (Example Answer)
If I had never taken the risk to start my business, I would have probably been working a nine-to-five job, feeling unfulfilled and constantly wondering ‘what if’. I wouldn’t have learned as much about innovation, leadership, and resilience, and I definitely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to create jobs for others. - (Example Answer)
A common situation where ’cause’ leads to ‘effect’ in my daily life is when I stay up late at night. The ’cause’ is my decision to stay up late, perhaps watching a movie or studying. The ‘effect’ is that the next morning, I wake up feeling very tired, find it hard to concentrate in class, and might even be grumpy throughout the day.
