Task Overview

Professor

This week, we'll be discussing ways to address air pollution. One idea is introducing environmental taxes on air travel. Such taxes, also referred to as ecological taxes or green taxes, are extra charges that get added to the price of airplane tickets.Money collected from these taxes could be invested in environmentally friendly technologies or in promoting other, cleaner modes of transportation. Do you think there should be an environmental tax on air travel? Why or why not?

Student AAndrew

We should impose environmental taxes on air travel. These taxes might encourage people to find cheaper, more eco-friendly ways to get places. In my country many people use planes to fly a short distance because flights are relatively cheap, when they could just as easily take a less polluting form of transportation.

Student BClaire

Additional taxes on air travel will do little to solve the problem of air pollution.Airplane tickets would become more expensive, punishing passengers without incentivizing airlines to become more environmentally friendly. The airlines should pay the price to protect the environment, not their customers

I concur with Andrew's opinion that imposing extra taxes on air travel is an effective way to solve air pollution to some extent. However, I dissent that the aim of the extra charges is to higher the ticket price, forcing individuals to alternate to other transportation. For instance, the ticket price is already exorbitant to some consumers in my hometown. The meager taxes added to the original price does not seem to be as effective as we thought. Most people have to choose an airplane because of the long, tedium travel way instead of wasting resources. In my opinion, I assert that the core target of this policy is to collect more substantial financial support from both individuals and airlines. Accordingly, more stable financial support, more energy we can harness in inventing new eco-friendly technology.

Section Title: 6 Article Revision

I agree with Andrew that implementing environmental taxes on air travel could be an effective measure to address air pollution to a certain degree. However, I disagree that the primary purpose of these additional charges is to increase ticket prices, thereby compelling individuals to opt for alternative modes of transportation. For example, in my hometown, many consumers already find airfare quite prohibitive. The minimal taxes added to the existing price may not be as impactful as anticipated. Most people choose air travel due to the lengthy and tedious nature of other transportation options rather than a desire to squander resources. In my view, the central objective of this policy should be to gather more substantial financial support from both individuals and airlines. Consequently, with increased and stable funding, we can invest more resources in developing new eco-friendly technologies. (143 words)

Personally, I think there should be an environmental tax on air travel. The primary reason is that this can irritate the development of technology. As air travel tax imposed, fewer passengers will choose air travel as their way of travel. This forces the plane makers to devise aircrafts with eco-friendly devices such as electrical engines, body made of carbon fiber and so on. These new devices are symbols of advanced technologies. For example, in order to meet the environmental requirements, one of the biggest aircraft companies, the airbus, designed a brand-new aircraft, which emits much less carbon dioxide, and produces much less noise.

In response to professor’s thought-provoking question, I firmly believe that the airline should not impose environmental tax on air travel. First, I concur with Claire’s perspective that extra taxes would not yield substantial benefits on solving air pollution problem and instead increase airplane prices without addressing environmental issues. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that the increased airplane price would only exacerbate passengers’ financial stress. For instance, a working-class dad who struggling to make ends meet cannot afford the additional price on air travel of a common family trip any longer since this may exceed their already tight budget. While Andrew’s argument regarding the potential positive effects on imposing environmental tax on air travel holds the merits, it overlooks the fact that it may cause people to in search for other time-consuming transportation rather than the efficient one. This may lead people to waste their time or even miss the gold time of some events such as taking an important exam and meeting a family member in a sick bed. Therefore, envying additional tax probably proves no such beneficial.

In the debate over environmental taxes on air travel, I align with Claire's view. Imposing additional taxes on airfare primarily burdens travelers, especially those with limited financial means, rather than directly incentivizing airlines to adopt greener practices. Such a tax might deter some from flying for leisure, but for many, air travel is a necessity for reasons like work or family commitments, not just a choice. Therefore, the effectiveness of this tax in significantly reducing air travel and thus air pollution is questionable. A more impactful approach would be to directly target airlines, encouraging them to invest in fuel-efficient aircraft, sustainable aviation fuels, and carbon offset programs. This could be achieved through financial incentives like tax breaks or subsidies for airlines that demonstrate real efforts toward environmental sustainability. This strategy addresses the root cause – the emissions from airplanes – and encourages the industry to evolve towards greener practices, leading to long-term environmental benefits. Therefore, instead of taxing passengers, a focused effort on transforming airline operations seems a more effective solution to air pollution challenges.

This could be achieved through financial incentives like such as (changed "like" to "such as" for a more formal tone) tax breaks or subsidies for airlines that demonstrate real genuine (changed "real" to "genuine" for a more natural tone) efforts toward environmental sustainability. This strategy addresses the root cause – the emissions from airplanes – and encourages the industry to evolve towards greener practices, leading to long-term environmental benefits. Therefore, instead of taxing passengers, a focused effort on transforming airline operations seems appears (changed "seems" to "appears" for a more formal tone) to be a more effective solution to address air pollution challenges.

I would venture to say that imposing environmental taxes is not necessary to solve the pollution, because the problem is not stem from it. Firstly, air pollution caused by airplane counts a less part of it. If we only punish the customers by increasing the price of the tickets without preventing the exploit of the fuel material, we will never tackle the pollution issue.

这篇文章在回答问题时表现一般。虽然作者提出了自己的观点,但论证不够充分,缺乏具体的例子和细节。建议作者在论述观点时提供更多有力的证据和实例,以增强说服力。

Example 1: Instead of "If we only punish the customers by increasing the price of the tickets without preventing the exploit of the fuel material, we will never tackle the pollution issue.", you could write "Imposing environmental taxes on air travel would only address a small part of the problem, as it does not directly target the root cause, which is excessive use of fossil fuels in various industries."

Example 2: Instead of "The noxious gas is inevitably in the sky.", you could write "The majority of air pollution comes from industrial emissions, which contribute significantly more to air pollution than air travel."

4. 文章结构与组织

文章结构方面需要改进。首先,文章缺少一个明确的引言部分来引导读者进入讨论。其次,正文部分并未明确区分不同观点和论据。最后,结论部分也不够清晰。建议作者按照引言、正文和结论的顺序组织文章,并在每个段落中明确阐述一个观点或论据。

Example 1: A better introduction could be: "The issue of whether or not to impose environmental taxes on air travel has been a topic of debate. While some argue that it would encourage more eco-friendly transportation, others believe it would only punish passengers without addressing the root cause of pollution. In this essay, I will argue against the implementation of such taxes."

Example 2: A clearer body paragraph could be: "One reason why environmental taxes on air travel are not the solution to pollution is that they do not directly target the main sources of pollution. Industries such as manufacturing and transportation contribute significantly more to air pollution than air travel, and therefore should be the primary focus of any efforts to reduce emissions."

Section Title: 6 Article Revision

While the implementation of environmental taxes on air travel may seem like a viable solution to combat air pollution, it is not the most effective approach. The primary reason is that air travel contributes only a small fraction to overall pollution levels. By merely increasing ticket prices without addressing the root cause, such as the exploitation of fossil fuels, we fail to make any significant progress in mitigating pollution. For instance, industrial emissions in countries like China continue to rise annually, with harmful gases permeating the atmosphere. Thus, focusing solely on taxing air travel would be an insufficient measure in tackling this pressing issue. (109 words)

User Sample

Whether to tax on air travel is a challenging topic, but I strongly side with Claire's opinion that additional taxes on air travel will not be helpful to deal with the trouble of air pollution because the tickets would be expensive and the price to protect the environment is paid by citizens. Further, I would suggest that taxing on airplane is far from useful because it would harm people. Nowadays, traveling by airplane is quite common, and if there are additional taxes they would pay more for the tickets. Sometimes someone is in an emergency and need to go to the hospital. But if there are taxes, he will not afford the tickets to get to the hospital, which is a shame.

3. Task completeness

The essay addresses the topic of environmental taxes on air travel, but it could be improved in terms of task fulfillment. The essay needs to provide more specific examples or evidence to support the viewpoint, as well as consider alternative perspectives. To improve the essay, the writer should:

  • Provide concrete examples or data to support their opinion.

  • Discuss potential benefits of environmental taxes on air travel.

  • Address counterarguments and explain why they disagree with them.

Example 1: Instead of stating that taxing air travel would harm people, provide specific examples or statistics that show how increased ticket prices might negatively affect certain groups of people, such as low-income families or small businesses.

Example 2: Discuss potential benefits of environmental taxes on air travel, such as funding for cleaner transportation alternatives or research into more sustainable aviation technologies.

4. Essay structure and organization

The essay has a basic structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion. However, it could be improved in terms of organization and clarity. To enhance the essay's structure:

  • Clearly state your thesis in the introduction.

  • Use topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to introduce the main point.

  • Provide clear transitions between ideas and paragraphs.

Example 1: In the introduction, clearly state your position on whether there should be an environmental tax on air travel. For example: "I believe that implementing an environmental tax on air travel would not effectively address air pollution because it would place an undue burden on passengers without incentivizing airlines to adopt greener practices."

Example 2: Use topic sentences to introduce each main point in your body paragraphs. For example: "One reason why an environmental tax on air travel would not be effective is that it would disproportionately affect low-income travelers who may rely on affordable air travel for work or family emergencies."

Display title: 6 Revised Essay

The implementation of environmental taxes on air travel is a complex issue. I concur with Student B's perspective that imposing additional taxes on air travel would not effectively address the problem of air pollution, as it would primarily burden passengers with increased costs rather than incentivizing airlines to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.

Moreover, I believe that implementing such taxes could have unintended negative consequences for the general public. Air travel has become an essential mode of transportation in today's globalized world, and levying additional taxes would inevitably raise ticket prices. This could be particularly detrimental in emergency situations where individuals may urgently need to travel but are unable to afford the increased costs due to these taxes. In such cases, the imposition of environmental taxes on air travel would not only fail to address pollution concerns but also potentially jeopardize people's well-being. (148 words)
