*****************
Position Paper
Global warming’s effects and influence on the global climate is visible all around us now.
As time has passed in the past century, Arctic ice has begun to gradually melt and sea
levels have started to rise. If this situation continues, then low-lying island nations such
as Vanuatu and Maldives will sink into the sea and will simply disappear.
Also, climate is changing in many parts of the world because of global warming. For
example, acid rain damaging soils and forests, particularly in our country, serious
droughts in Australia, and abnormal weather patterns all over the world. These things
are not naturally occurring phenomena – they were caused by human actions. Our nation
is addressing global warming on a domestic level. For example, we are separating
household waste and recycling as much as we can, and are imposing taxes on CO2
emissions. Out carbon dioxide emissions are 0.4% of the global total.
We are raising public awareness of the environmental problems they will face in the
future, and we hope that our people will address this issue. But individual nations
cannot succeed – the only way to secure our future is if we can get a consensus of
nations to take action to reduce these effects. Humans caused this problem and
ultimately they must address and deal with it.
We must, as global citizens, address this problem actively. Thank you.

Mr. Sam Jones

Dear Mr. Jones: € ( )
This letter is to inform you of a problem I have had with a toy that I purchased at your store. € ( )
I purchased a karaoke machine at your store on December 20, 1999. It was to be used for a New Years Eve party that
my family had for some of my friends. That evening, before the party, we plugged in the machine and set it up.
When I first tried to test the machine, the CD started to play sound, but there were no words on the screen. We read
the directions and tried other CD’s, but the machine never worked.
As you may guess, the party wasn’t the same without a karaoke machine. Therefore, I wanted to write this letter to let
you know what happened, and to ask that you use brands that are more reliable than the one that I purchased.
Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely, € ( )
