A To conclude, I believe that the world’s rainforests must be given international protection. As, in the words of an Indian prophesy, «only after the last tree has been cut down … the last river has been poisoned … the last fish caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.»
B Did you know that the world’s population is expected to reach some 9 billion by the year 2050? Many people believe that the food we grow can feed an extra 3 million mouths. However, others argue that current evidence suggests otherwise.
C To sum up, we all know how difficult it can be for students to adjust to a new environment when they decide to study abroad. Despite this, I believe that studying abroad expands our world view and appreciation of other cultures.
