 The Importance of English Language
I personally think that English is the world’s most important
language. Why do I say that?

Firstly, English is an international language. It is spoken by many

people all over the world, either as a first or second language.

Secondly, English is also the key which opens doors to scientific and
technical knowledge, which is needed for the economic and politics
development of many countries in the world.

Thirdly, English is a top requirement of those seeking jobs.

Applicants who master either active or passive English are more
favorable than those who don’t.

From the facts above, it is obvious that everybody needs to learn

English to greet the global era.

the phenomenon/ a certain issue that occurs in daily life.
Its social function is to persuade the readers that there is a case to

strong

She felt in love with him since her first sight.

Generic Structures
• SHOULD CARS BE BANNED FROM THE CITY ?

• Cars should be banned from the city center at least in the biggest cities because they bring on
more problems than benefits. Pollution is the top one major drawback, along with traffic jams and
a relentless decrease in local commerce.

• Firstly, it is widely known that cars are responsible for the highest levels of carbon dioxide
emissions, the most common greenhouse gas.

• Secondly, public transportation should be the priority mean of commuting. Even after the
implementation of urban toll, London and São Paulo have reached peaks of immobility in their
centers in the last decades. London has fallen back on bicycle routes and São Paulo has tried
hard to work up subway and buses lines.

• In addition to that, local commerce looses pedestrians and consequently sales volume decreases.
Local residents are forced to move out of the city center making the area much more devaluated.

• In some conditions, cars can be good for us if we want to go to a far destination. But, in the
other hand, cars become not good for human health caused by the carbon dioxide emissions.
What can we do now is, starting using public transportation rather than private transportation.
So, we have to know how to use cars wisely for our life.
