YES College students’ first priority should be given to academic pursuit and other social activities. Hiring cleaners can free themselves from chores and spare more time for them to improve themselves. A clean and tidy room always brings a good mood, which in turn, leads to efficiency in study. A professional cleaner can surely offer students a better living environment at a reasonable price.
NO Without a steady financial source, college students will put an even greater burden on their parents by hiring cleaners to do laundry and cleaning. It is an excuse for students not to do laundry and cleaning themselves for academic pressure and extracurricular activities. Laundry and cleaning job, if done routinely, just takes a fraction of time. [2011]

YES It turns out to be a fact that the emissions of cars increase the pollution. If the amount of tax private car owners have to pay depends on the emission level, people would drive less or buy low-emission cars in order to save money. Vehicle emission will do great harm to our body’s respiratory system(呼吸系统). So it would be a blessing fro us to put pollution tax on private cars. In a long term, taxing private car owners promotes sustainable development and environment protection by warning car-users to reduce emissions.
NO It will be very difficult to implement the policy of “pollution tax”. How to measure the exact amount of emission? How to avoid bribery for escaping from fine and punishment? Taxing private car owners doesn’t reduce pollution, which is mainly caused by heavy industry. Car-making industry at home will be heavily weakened by introducing pollution taxes. For the rise of tax, customers will pay much more to own a car, thus delaying their plan of buying cars. [2012]

Do Parents Want to Go Private? The latest Ipsos Mori poll for the Independent Schools Council shows that 57% of parents would choose private education if they could afford to do so. That is the highest figure since these polls began in 1997. The first thought, is why so many parents would choose private education? What is motivating them to do so? We have smaller classes in private schools than a decade ago, better-paid teachers, fewer staff shortages, far more computers, and many more new school buildings. In terms of investment, education has done pretty well over the past decade: education spending now absorbs a higher proportion of the nation’s wealth than 10 years ago. Some of the figures show dramatic improvements. There is now one computer for every six private school pupils compared with one for every 23 in 1994. In 1997, around one quarter of all primary classes contained over 31 pupils. Now it is one in 10. There has been no shortage of intervention strategies to tackle under-achievement: measures to close failing schools, the creation of expensive new academies, and schemes to target children who fall behind with their reading and maths.
