SAMPLE ANSWER:

I was born and raised in Hexham and have been here for 40 years. I have watched
the city develop from a small town and grow into a modern metropolitan area in the
new era. With the skyrocketing population of recent years, the city’s environment
has become significantly polluted. As a result, I think environmental laws should

be enacted immediately to solve this problem.

First of all, the mayor should consider putting more trash bins out in the streets so
that people won’t throw rubbish anywhere anytime. In addition, the city police
should heavily fine those who are caught littering the streets. By doing so, not only
could we save a lot of money on cleaning costs but we could also improve the
surrounding public scenery.

Secondly, the city should run a campaign to educate people on how to classify and
separate garbage before throwing it out. This is necessary because unsorted

garbage contributes to the pollution of underground water and the earth.
