My way of thinking: Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar.

There has been a notion that sweet products should be made more expensive to drive individuals to consume less sugar because industrial food and beverage products contain high levels of sugar which leads to some health problems.

Enormous college students have had a different opinion on whether they should take other subjects in addition to their main subject or should focus on studying their main subject for a higher qualification. This essay will discuss both views and convey my way of thinking of way that it is more beneficial to pay attention to their main course. Learning more subjects is beneficial for university students since they are able to gain more opportunities, yet they should give extra time and energy to follow the other subjects. In other words, the generalist students personally believe that, if they can learn more subjects, they will be offered more opportunities by companies. This can be clearly reinforced by the fact that these students have been planning to take a cluster subject since they enter their university. Indeed, not only can they obtain more jobs, but they are also able to broaden their knowledge and horizons. In contrast, specialist students consider that there are more advant...
