Introduction (Thesis statement)
Motorbikes are a nuisance and a cause for great distress. Even though motorbikes are considered as the most convenient form of transportation, I think they are a hazard to humans, animals as well as the environment. I think motorbikes should be banned in housing areas due to the following reasons: cause of unreasonable amount of noise, air pollution, diseases, and accidents.

elaboration
Furthermore,motorbikes create so much noise. There is “vroom vroom” noise everywhere. It is extremely difficult to sleep. Parents with infants find it extremely challenging. The moment their babies fall asleep, one or another motorbike passes by and the baby wakes up. It is also arduous for children to concentrate on their homework. Experts are of the opinion that if there is extreme noise, it can lead to deafness and lack of concentration in children and adults (Fields, 1993).

Motorbikes are known to be the biggest killers on the road (Fields, 1993).

Introduction (thesis statement)

Television is the most popular form of entertainment in every household in Indonesia. However, I think watching television too much especially soap operas and dramas can have negative impacts on the viewers,television is bad for children,cause diseases,disturb the learning process.
Argument 1 + Elaboration
First of all, I would like to point out that television has negative impact on the viewers. Research shows that events on television can have a negative impact on the audience like dramas or action film, dramas has an element of personality or lifestyle that could make the audience to follow and apply it to real life such as a love story, emotion, etc. as a result, over time television can change the culture and mindset of the people, including teenagers who frequently watch the drama.

Secondly, according to health articles, television is also responsible for causing the disease if used for a long time such as heart disease, obesity, asthma, eye damage and diabetes. Some dreadful disease that can kill people, if the time to watch television is not restricted.
Argument 3 + Elaboration
Furthermore, television is bad for children. Many children tend to follow their favorite actors or actress, following same attitude. When children watch action movies, he would imitate and do the same at home, the school that would injure them or others. The American academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not watch any television and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day.
Argument 4 + Elaboration
Finally,  television disrupt the learning process. Many children who watch television for long hours. As a result, the child’seyes became weak, lazy learning and affect a child’s behavior. If thehe children keep wasting their precious time watching television for long hours instead studying, it may affect their school result.
Conclusion (restatement of thesis statement)
In conclusion, from the arguments above, I strongly believe that television should be banned for children and every person is forbidden to watch television in a long hours.
