Dear Editor,

This is my first time writing to newspapers. It is because I read your report which young people were happy to be unemployed. I am a school leaver, so I have different opinion with your report.

In my opinion, school leavers need much more detailed careers guidance. Moreover, I think schools should offer courses that will prepare students for wherever they are going in life and that means offering both college and career preparation.

Furthermore, the majority of the companies in our town are related to technology, whereas some school leavers around here are not computer-literate. Companies should form a partnership with schools to develop training schemes which would enable us to learn the skills needed for the job.

I would also like to add that not all young people are happy with their life without a job. You wrote that rich parents help them to be happy. I think it is irritating. Many of us have parents who are out of work and we definitely do not want to be like them.

When you are at school, getting a job is like a dream. Young people need supports and help not critic as you have given.

Yours faithfully,

Sandi

Sandi Auliya

Emma: I think Ryan's family should have stayed abroad so that Ryan could have gone to school.

Edward: In my opinion, it is okay that Ryan wants to work. He wasted much important time at school.

Emma: I knew he was naughty boy at school. Wouldn't you agree that it's better that he has a good education so that he can have a better life than his family in the future?

Edward: I see what you mean, but we can't live from school. We can only live from money. Ryan has considered it.

Emma: I don't understand why you said it. Without any good education, you can't earn much money.

Carlos: In my opinion, the education cannot decide how much money you will get. The most important thing is whether you are serious or not when you are working. When you go to school, but you are not serious, you will fail. However, now you can work hard, you get much money. This is luck, right? Perhaps, Ryan's parents have thought about it. They know their own son.

Read the following text! Then answer the questions!

Parking lots become a major problem in urban areas in both developed and developing countries. Shortage of parking space, high parking tariffs, and traffic congestion due to visitors in search for a parking place are only a few examples of everyday parking problems. Instead of those problems, the security of parking lots is usually questioned. I think parking lots in companies and public facilities need evaluation because there are many crimes happened in parking lots.

When you evaluate the parking lots you need to understand who uses them first of all. If they are for employees only, then it is easier to implement a higher level of security. If the facility has a high level of visitors, clients, customers who use the parking facility, then the parking lot they use must be accessible to the public and therefore a lower level of security must be implemented. In my opinion, it is better to separate employee parking from customer parking whenever feasible.

Many crimes occur in both customer and employee parking areas, such as vehicle break-ins, vehicle thefts, robberies, and car jackings. However, many cases of workplace violence primarily take place in employee parking lots. Crimes such as stalking, harassment, bullying, and assault are mostly driven by domestic situations. I suppose someone is trying to make contact with the employee

In my opinion, parking lots should have adequate lighting, CCTV camera coverage, and emergency call stations at regular intervals, as a minimum level of security. The access to the parking lots and garages should also be restricted to a limited number of access points. Whenever possible, the company can use fences or walls. All entrance points, both pedestrians and vehicular, should have good CCTV camera coverage as well. I think the security of those areas should patrol periodically.

Questions: 

1. What is the text about?

2. What are the problems faced by many countries related to parking lots?

3. What crimes usually happen in parking lots? 

4. Write expressions of giving opinions found in the text! 

5. What do you think of parking lots in public buildings?
