Ví dụ 1:
Examiner: Are there any environmental problems in your country?
Kelly: Yes… we have a serious issue with pollution levels in some of our big cities… exhaust fumes from cars and lorries are definitely one reason for the problem but we also have a lot of heavy industry in some areas and this also results in poor air quality…
Ví dụ 2:
Examiner: Do you take an interest in nature?
Jenny: Well … I’m a city person through and through and don’t get back to nature very often I’m afraid … but like everyone else I’m fascinated by the natural world and I like watching documentaries showing wild animals in their natural habitat …
Ví dụ 3:
Examiner: Do you or your family take steps to help the environment?
Mira: My parents have always tried to make us aware of our impact on the environment… they’re really into energy conservation... and always try to buy environmentally friendly products if they have the chance …
Describe an environmental problem that has been in the news.
You should say:
and say how you felt about this problem. |
Martin: Well… this is an interesting question… there are so many issues I could think of… natural disasters like earthquakes and floods seem to be in the news almost every year … but there was one story recently about some animals that were under threat… it wasn’t focused on one place in particular … it was looking at various animals that could actually become extinct in different African countries … if we don’t take steps to protect them… these were really iconic animals like gorillas … leopards … rhinos… and apparently they’re now listed as endangered species… what made it really depressing was they were in danger thanks to us… in some cases it was due to a loss of habitat either because people need more agricultural production … or even worse I think… because of hunting and poaching … I hate to think of future generations being robbed of the chance to see creatures like these in their natural environment… it’s lucky we have lots of organizations that focus on wildlife conservation …hopefully with their help we can put pressure on those in power to do something to stop creatures like these dying out …
Ví dụ 1:

Ví dụ 3:
Examiner: In which ways do we respond well to environmental problems?
