Skateboarding
Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and
adventureous past time.
Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters
speeding up and down the footpaths. Toodlers can be knocked down as they struggle home
carrying their cat food from supermarkets.
Many people said that Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s
health. It increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles.
Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform
stunts or runs they form firm friendships.
And also young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch
potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws
for fun.
Kids always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and
Ollie’s free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe
for small children and senior citizens and skaters have spaces where they can race, chase,
speed, and soar towards the sun.

Text 2:
Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?
First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should
we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is
it asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to
take public transit some of the time, and i would say yes.
Oil use and poluttion aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just
isn’t room for any more roads, so in order to grow, they need more people to take public
transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half
capacity that’s nearly 20 car’s worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking
spaces that don’t need to built.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply
don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to
buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus
occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds,
forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change to majority of those students
have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in appartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking
spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several
apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive
reviews.
So, yes i would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as
Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.
