Professor
This week, we'll be discussing ways to address airpollution.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?
Andrew
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.
Claire
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.

With the advent of the surge of air pollution all over the world, a blazing debate concerning whether we should introduce the encironmental tax into on air travel has increasingly come to force.Speaking of this theme, I have to say I wholeheartly second with Claire on this one for the following reasons. To begin with, I opine that we are supposed to attach much importance to enhance the awareness of protecting the environment of resident rather that using the air tax to intimidate them. Government should not equate introducing the air tax with the antedote of pollution. Only by raising publc awareness about environmental protection can we achieve our goal. Besides, being circumspect about air tax, which is a onerous financial task, can help us avoid significant opportunity cost. If we decide to introduce the air tax, we need to spend a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to formulate relevant policies. As Claire says, why not putting these resources into find where the pollution generate the most and how can we sap the grievous impact on environment? That is the whole point. In conclusion, despite the seemingly plausible solution Andrew proposes, I believes Claire’s idea is more sagacious.

Title: 6 文章修订
The ongoing global surge in air pollution has sparked a heated debate regarding the implementation of environmental taxes on air travel. After considering both perspectives presented by Andrew and Claire, I find myself in agreement with Claire's argument for the following reasons.
Firstly, it is crucial to prioritize raising public awareness about environmental protection rather than using air taxes as a deterrent. The government should not view the introduction of such taxes as a panacea for pollution. Achieving our environmental goals can only be accomplished through increased understanding and collective efforts from the public.
Secondly, exercising caution when considering air taxes, which would impose a significant financial burden, can help us avoid substantial opportunity costs. Implementing these taxes would require considerable manpower, material, and financial resources to develop relevant policies. As Claire suggests, why not allocate these resources towards identifying major sources of pollution and developing strategies to mitigate their detrimental impact on the environment? This approach seems more effective and targeted.
In light of these points, I believe that Claire's perspective offers a more prudent course of action compared to Andrew's proposal. Focusing on raising environmental awareness and addressing pollution at its source will likely yield better results in our fight against air pollution. (208 words)
