❇️ Reading passage
♦️ A new law that I would pass
My city has lots of issues which need to be addressed. If I were in a position to impose a new law to make my city a better place to live in, I would pass a new law that would make it mandatory for every road to have trees along the side and would prohibit anyone from cutting any of them. In the current situation, most of the roads do not have trees and places that do have trees only account for a very small percentage of my city’s area. In my opinion, this rule would help make the city greener and improve the environment of the city. Obviously, this would not be an easy law to implement. Lots of house-owners would not be interested to follow this law and would complain that there is no space for doing it. However, if the law is implemented and imposed, over time that would be achievable. Once people realise the importance of trees in the city, people would start feeling an obligation towards bringing nature into our society. As I mentioned earlier, this new law would bring a number of benefits. The biggest advantage would be that people’s lives would be better in terms of health because of cleaner air and people would also have more shade along the sidewalks not to mention how nice trees look.
