[Alexander A] Writing Practice Test 813937

Dear Mr. Smith,

my motive for writing this letter to you is to apprise you that i will be discontinuing the course for the time being due to some reasons.

Being an international student, it has been difficult for me to cope with the high standard of living in this country which was why i had to take up a full-time job to be able to foot my bills. However, i am beginning to face some difficulties merging my job and education and it is really taking a toll on me. I work in a restaurant and my employer was kind enough to let me knock off once it is 8pm. The journey to my house from the restaurant is quite far and i do not intend on taking the bus as i want to save any little tip I have. By this, time is always far gone by the time i get home to freshen up and leave for campus.

Also, i am sometimes exhausted by the time i get home as a result of the trekking such that i am unable to attend my evening classes and it has been affecting my grades.

In addition to the above, I would like to inform you that i will be taking a gap year so as to gather enough money to rent an apartment much closer to the school and also find a part-time. In that way, i will be able to have ample time for myself and my studies as well.

In sum, my taking a gap year might affect my intellect so i plead with you to give me some reading materials to be studying during my free periods so that i will not be lagging behind. By this, i will be able to bounce back to my feet almost immediately once i resume schooling again.

Yours sincerely,

Alexander Agboba

Waste production is a global problem being experienced which is majorly due to increased industrialization and the continuous rise in the global population. Due to this, there has been an outrageous increase in the amount of rubbish being produced each passing day.

The rampant increase in the amount of waste produced can be attributed to the increasing availability of industries. Most industries produce non-recyclable products which have become a nuisance globally. For instance, almost every eatery or restaurant with take-away packages are in plastic containers which once used, cannot be reused. As a result of this, it becomes a waste product once the consumer finishes with its contents.

In addition, waste production is caused by the consistent use of paper for hygienic purposes. For instance, one washes and wipes one's hands with tissue paper after using the washroom. Had there been enough industries responsible for the production of sanitizers, the need for tissue papers would be less

The government should pass out a law that will see to it that all manufacturing industries will produce recyclable products rather than the non-recyclables so as to mitigate the quantity of rubbish produced daily. Moreover, the effectiveness of the law passed would be dependent on the follow ups made so governing bodies should establish agencies or organizations that will see to it that appropriate measures are put in place to curb the high rate of waste production. Furthermore, there can be a state-owned factory responsible mainly for the production of hand sanitizers for hygienic purposes.

In a scenario whereby the law has been passed and being enforced, the industries will supply only recyclables to restaurants. Also, people will be forced to dine-in rather than take-away which will also lessen the wasted being produced. The need for tissue papers would be less if sanitizers are placed in washrooms for cleansing.

To conclude, no country is devoid of waste production as there are industries producing products which cannot be used more than once. It is therefore a critical issue to be dealt with and if the appropriate measures are put in place, the high rate of waste production would be lessened.
