Writing Feedback / Choosing between public transportation or electric car, reduce the emissions of CO2 [5]

The profeliferation of private cars on the roads in many parts of the world has led to serious problems of pollution and may contribute to global warming. Some people think that government should spend money for the development of public transportation system in order to help alleviate this problem. Others think it is better to spend money for the development of electric and other types of cars that may cause less pollution

Do you think it is better for governments to spend money developing public transportation or developing new kinds of cars? Why or why not? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The number of private cars is primer causes of global warming. Some citizens believe that the governments are better to increase the development of public transportation, while others believe the invention of electric car may help to solve the problem. I would argue that this has both positive and negative implications

.
On the one hand, there are many benefits, if public transportation is implemented in country with large population. This public transportation could reduce the air pollution and solve several country's problems. First, public vehicle can transport many people in few time. For instance, the length time from Jakarta to Bogor by train is around one hour in peak or rush time. In contrast, it will take around two until three hours by car. Moreover, by development public transportation, cost of transportation could be cheaper than before. To illustrate, because of the price of fuel is increase, many people now using public transportation which cost cheaper than if people should buy gasoline for their private car.

Furthermore, the gas pollution that has been produced from private car was higher than public transportation. If one car produce 5 pollute in each usage then public transportation may produce 20 pollute with 20 people in the vehicle that mean 1 person only contribute 1 pollute to the environment in each usage.

On the other hand, there are also advantages if the governments would develop the electric car. Since, the car uses electricity, the uses of fuel can be reduced. Moreover, this invention ease people to refuel the car. Beside search the gas station, people may only need to find electricity source. By reducing the gasoline, it will reduce the emissions of CO2 which damage the ozone layer.

Nevertheless, the development of those two transportations;pubic vehicle and electric car; requires large amount of money. The electric car still needs a lot research and development to make perfect model. In contrast, public transportations does not need fund of research again since there are already many prototypes of them. Thus, public transportation will cost few money to be implemented.

To conclude, the development of public transportation and electric car is a great solution for reduce emissions, while public transportations only need
few budget to be implemented. It is imperative to the governments thinking clearly what is the best for their country to solve the problem.

Writing Feedback / A toddler have the cognitive capacity to learn approximately 20 new words each month. [4]

All children should study a foreign language, starting in the earliest grade. To what extent do you agree or disagree to this statement?

In today's global society, people believe that children should learn new language from the very beginning year of school. I would argue that this has both positive and negative implications.

On the positive side, learn foreign language has enormously rewarding experience in many ways for the future. First, language helps people to solve problem. For example, the spreading of Ebola virus that infected many Africans and people who visit their country, invite many scientist from over the world to collaborate in term of find the solution. Indeed, when scientists doing the research brainstorming or discussing, they are communicate by using international language, English. Thus, it would minimize any misunderstanding during discussion. Furthermore, skill of foreign language opened the door of a better education that impact to a vastly life. A case of point, The Republic of China has a record that 176.7 million of citizens have learn English language in 2005. This movement hand in hand with government target in 2008 that 80% from police town under 40 years old, clerk in modern store, hotel staff, and other services staff should able to speak English which can help them to serve consumer and get more profit since in 2010 China will be a host for International Event, World Olympic.

On the other hand, learning foreign language from early age was not children desire but parents. Consequently, it will effect on children are not completely understand their mother tongue. According to Psychology Professor, Erika Haff an author of the book language development, learning multiple languages simultaneously limits the number of words that child able to learn in a set amount of time. A toddler have the cognitive capacity to learn approximately 20 new words each month. If they learn multiple languages it mean they will learn 10 new words for their native language and 10 new words for their foreign language, which put they behind in her native language. To illustrate, many international school students are likely to join with international event because they feel ashamed to talk with low-level capability of mother tongue. Hence, learning a new language in earliest year of school will distract student native language.

To conclude, learn a foreign language from earliest grade will help student in the future although, it is noticeable it also impact to the ability of native language. Therefore, government and parents should cooperate to solve this problem.
