Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for
Pollution?
With the development of society, many people can afford a car. As the number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big problem is the pollution caused by the use of cares. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a "pollution tax" should be put on private cars in order
to control the number of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to this viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:
To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For example, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollution. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environmental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue lever to protect our environment.
Secondly, it is a good way to raise people's environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will think more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deciding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the
private cars can be controlled.
In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to protect the environment.

It is recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a local university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 Yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners.

Should College Students Hire Cleaners?
According to a recent report, six university students hired cleaners to clean their dorm and do their laundry every week.
Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd.
For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning the room and doing one's laundry are the most basic living skills. If we always depend on others do take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society?
For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedent on campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously is wrong.
