Summary: The article is about the
way Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, use his
private jet. His private jet was used for the third time during 10 days for a
short journey, which could have been only 2-3 hours by train. The author also
mentioned that other wealthy people use their private jet more often compare to
the past year. Some advantages and disadvantages of using private
planes is also include in this article but the author likely to focus of the
cons, like the higher cost and fuel they required and more pollution they made.
Nevertheless, people still find the way to solve the climate problem that the
transportation caused and people have come up with the idea of using
sustainable fuel and try to find other possible technology that would help.
However, the solution has not revealed yet.
Reaction: I have learned a lot
through this article and this article had me realized
that the pollution issue is a serious issue that we should have been considered
because it is getting worse every day. Although I thought a lot of people have
come out and talk about it but not everyone would really understand it, deeply.
For the private jet, I think people could have maintain their privacy and their
safety in other way for example using the land transport which produce less
pollution because these days we can also travel fast and safe by car. The use of
private jet should depend on the distance and the necessity of the user.
Question: Do people think carefully
before they use their private jet?
What can we do to reduce the use private jet?
Should we limit the number of people who own private jet?
Will it get better after people read this article?
People should consider more about pollution issue. I do agree that the use of private jet should be reduced. I wonder, are there any law to district flying across a short journey?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about the law, but I think there is, maybe they are not strict enough.
DeleteI think some people use private jet just to show off that they are rich and doesn't even care about how much pollution they've made each time they fly. I think rich people should stop using their private jet to travel for a short journey to help out climate problem.
ReplyDeleteAGREEEEE!!
Deletethis is milky comment btw, your blog is well written, I understand what you’re trying to say to the audience, good in using vocabulary and your overall blog is well structured! For me there’s no mistake or improvement on this blog, just to say that I have the same opinion as you that we should use private jet depend on the distance and the necessity of the user, because people don’t think deeply on every action they do, otherwise they dont know what they’re doing is affecting the natural environment. Thank you for this blog and keep going Dida!
