Essay number 93
One long-distance flight consumes fuel which a car uses in several years’ time, but they
cause the same amount of pollution. So some people think that we should discourage
non-essential flights, such as tourist travel, rather than to limit the use of cars. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
(similar 2008 essay)
It is irrefutable that the fuel consumed by one long-distance flight is consumed by
a car in
several years’ time, and the amount of pollution it produces is also more. Therefore, some
people suggest that non-essential flights, including international travel, should be
discouraged. I totally disagree whit this statement. I feel that even though cars produce less
pollution and use less fuel, still we should focus on limiting the number of cars. Discouraging
flights would lead to many other problems.
At a time when people all over the world worry about the decreasing level of fossil fuels and
global warming, it is right to take action to save the planet earth. However, to simply
discourage flights is not the answer. International tourism has become the backbone of
many economies of the world. Many countries are earning from tourism. Many people are
employed in this industry. Many businesses like hotels and leisure centres are dependent on
tourists. So, if we discourage international tourism, it would create new
and even worse
problems. Many businesses would go broke and many people would be without jobs.
Air flight also enables intercultural exchanges between countries. The advent of cheap air
fare makes it possible for people the world over to travel regularly, regardless of the
purpose of the trip. Therefore, people have the opportunities to learn from different
cultures and have a better understanding of countries they used to be unfamiliar with. This,
in turn, enhances cultural communications between countries.
What we should do is to limit the use of cars. The number of cars is increasing at a very fast
pace. This is creating too many problems. Cars are using too much of fossil fuels; they are
creating a lot of pollution; they are leading to traffic congestion on the roads and they are
also causing accidents.
To put it in a nutshell, I
pen down saying that, traveling by air should not be discouraged.
Instead, the use of cars should be limited.
