Fuel Price
Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People
were affected severely with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut their
spending. As an example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were
also fewer buyers of secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.
Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because their
expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim the
number of employees because they are incapable of managing, buying or selling price,
standard wages and personal affairs.
Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but the solution
should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to enhance
productivity to its maximum.

Students’ Cheating
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers nowadays.
Despite the fact that teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some
students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do during the test or
examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some notes under their clothes, write notes
or formulas on their desks make hand signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their
friends.
In my view, students who do cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something
illegally. This crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat deteriorate
their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They weaken their self confidence.
Instead of preparing for the coming test, they are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this
awful habit continues, the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and
mind.
Therefore, school should consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and
administration should go hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s vision.
Harsh punishment must be applied to students who commit this crime.

Dear Editor
We are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially during our favourite
programmes. We think they should be stopped for a number of reasons.
First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes there seems to
be more ads than programmes.
Second, ads are bad influence on people. They try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like
beer, soft drink, candy and chips. And they make people want things they do not really need and can
not.
Finally, the people who make ads have too much say in what programmes people watch. That is
because they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some
programmes which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even
though those programmes may be someone’s favourite.
For those reasons, we think TV station should stop showing ads. They interrupt programmes. They
are bad influences on people, and they are sometimes put a stop to people’s favourite shows. We
are sick of ads, and now we mostly watch other channels.
