extent do you agree or disagree?

improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to

population and import as little as possible. Discuss this statement
showing whether you agree or disagree.
5. Today’s food travels thousands of miles before it reaches customers.

what they do. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
opinion?

Do the benefits of increased security outweigh the drawbacks?
