of environmental pollution problems in the world. Here are some reason why I 

think so.

2. Arguments : present the reasons for concern, leading to the recommendation.

• Argument 3 : Third, some people burn plastics to deal with plastic waste But the combustion process is less than perfect and does not break down the plastic particies completely it leaves dioxins in the air When humans inhale this dioxin, humans will be susceptible to various diseases including cancer nervous system disorders, hepatitis, liver swelling, and depression.

3. Recommendation : presents the statement of what ought or ought not to 

happen. The author tries to invite and persuade the reader to do something.

1. Should College Education be Free?

College education should be free for all students. Education is a basic right, and no one should be deprived of it just because they can't afford it. Education is the key to success and prosperity, and making it accessible to all will lead to a better society. Additionally, countries that provide free college education have higher rates of college graduates and a more educated workforce, which in turn leads to economic growth.

Furthermore, providing free college education will reduce the burden of student debt. Many students graduate from college with significant debt, which can take years to pay off. This debt can limit their career choices and delay their ability to start a family or purchase a home. By providing free college education, students can focus on their studies without worrying about the financial burden.

Opponents of free college education argue that it would be too expensive for the government to provide. However, investing in education is an investment in the future of the country. The benefits of a more educated population will outweigh the costs in the long run. Additionally, the government can fund free college education by reducing spending on unnecessary programs or by increasing taxes on the wealthy.

In conclusion, college education should be free for all students. Education is a right, not a privilege, and it is essential for personal and societal growth. By providing free college education, we can ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their financial background.

1. Haruskah Pendidikan Perguruan Tinggi Gratis ?

Pendidikan perguruan tinggi harus gratis untuk semua siswa. Pendidikan adalah hak dasar, dan tidak seorang pun boleh dicabut hanya karena mereka tidak mampu membelinya. Pendidikan adalah kunci kesuksesan dan kemakmuran, dan menjadikannya dapat diakses oleh semua orang akan mengarah pada masyarakat yang lebih baik. Selain itu, negara-negara yang menyediakan pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis memiliki tingkat lulusan perguruan tinggi yang lebih tinggi dan tenaga kerja yang lebih terdidik, yang pada akhirnya mengarah pada pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Selanjutnya, memberikan pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis akan mengurangi beban hutang mahasiswa. Banyak siswa lulus dari perguruan tinggi dengan hutang yang signifikan, yang membutuhkan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk melunasinya. Hutang ini dapat membatasi pilihan karir mereka dan menunda kemampuan mereka untuk memulai sebuah keluarga atau membeli rumah. Dengan memberikan pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis, siswa dapat fokus pada studi mereka tanpa khawatir tentang beban keuangan.

Penentang pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis berpendapat bahwa itu akan terlalu mahal untuk disediakan oleh pemerintah. Padahal, investasi pendidikan adalah investasi masa depan negara. Manfaat dari populasi yang lebih berpendidikan akan lebih besar daripada biaya dalam jangka panjang. Selain itu, pemerintah dapat mendanai pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis dengan mengurangi pengeluaran untuk program yang tidak perlu atau dengan menaikkan pajak orang kaya.

Kesimpulannya, pendidikan perguruan tinggi harus gratis untuk semua siswa. Pendidikan adalah hak, bukan hak istimewa, dan itu penting untuk pertumbuhan pribadi dan masyarakat. Dengan memberikan pendidikan perguruan tinggi gratis, kami dapat memastikan bahwa semua siswa memiliki kesempatan yang sama untuk berhasil, terlepas dari latar belakang keuangan mereka.
