　　Task 1: What can we do to reduce air pollution? Give examples and details in you answer.

　　Sample

　　I think the following should be done to reduce air pollution. First, we should drive less and use public transportation like buses and subways when we can. It’s such a waste or energy and space to drive when there’re only one or two people in the car. Buses and subways on the other hand can move dozens even hundreds of people way more efficiently than cars. Second, I think we should plant more trees. Trees and other plants produce oxygen we breath. We don’t have enough of them since cities are filled with concrete buildings these days. Trees also make our cities more beautiful, so I think the more trees we plant, the better.

　　Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, it is better to live close to parents than far away from them.

　　Sample

　　I agree with the statement that it’s better to live closer to our parents for the following reasons. First, there’s no shortcoming of living close to families. We can take care of each other more easily. For example, I get super busy toward the end of each semester, my mom would cook me meals so I can save the trouble of doing so myself. I have more time to study and be better prepared for my exams. Second, I can help them out when they need me. For example, I can help them to shop on the weekend when there’s too much for them to carry, shovel snow for them when storm hits so they don’t have to endure the horrible cold weather.
