TASK 2: Air travel can only benefit the richest people in the world. The ordinary people can get no advantage with the development of air travel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent times, it is usually believed that air travel provides numerous desirable effects for the wealthy class while the normal people receive no benefit from its development. Despite several reasons for this point of view, I personally believe that the ordinary people can also reap a number of benefits. On the one hand, people should recognize the fact that air tourism brings a range of benefits for the rich. It is important to remember that the wealthy usually choose transcontinental flights to satisfy their needs. To be specific, the flight service such as food price, package expense or other incurred cost to arrive to another place costs a huge amount of money, which is only suitable for the rich people. For instance, business class cabins with extremely high ticket prices will provide good service with several food and drink choices or comfortable and spacious seats. In contrast, normal people who have a limited budget can not afford the high price of a flight. As a result, air travel can benefit the rich by meeting their demands for traveling and relaxation. On the other hand, there are some reasons against the statement that the ordinary can also have some advantages from aviation tourism. There is no denying that air travel provides a lot of job opportunities for the normal. It is obvious that when the flight industry increases rapidly, it needs a lot of employees who are trained professionally to meet growing passenger demand. For example, for a flight to take off successfully, there must be a team of aircraft maintenance staff, flight attendants and pilots as well as airport staff to control broadening passengers and ensure their safety. This can lead to decreasing unemployment rate In conclusion, while there are many benefits regarding air tourism for the rich, I still believe that there are more advantages to the ordinary. However, each of us should consider carefully before reaching the final decision on this issue.
