soch 001 001

Some people think that environmental problems are the most dangerous whereas others don’t agree.

soch 001 002

I think that nowadays environmental catastrophe is the biggest threat. First of all, global worming can bring us a lot of troubles. If the ice melts, a lot of countries will be flooded. Second, Ozone holes can cause the death of a lot of lands. Also bad food, air and water can be the reason of various diseases.

soch 001 003

At the same time there are people who say that overpopulation, lack of food and nuclear war can be even more dangerous.

soch 001 004

In my opinion these people have a point. These threats can kill our planet too. Nevertheless, they are easier to control than environmental problems. Nuclear moratorium, new technologies allow us to solve these problems.

soch 001 005

In conclusion I’d like to say that if we weigh all the facts that say that danger to the environment is the biggest problem against the ones that support other threats, we’ll see that the facts that support the statement outweigh those against.

 IV Example of the body of the essay

With the progress of humanity a lot of environmental problems have appeared. They spoil people’s life, so humans try to overcome them, at least to reduce level of pollution. However, many people think environmental problems are not their concern, and the authorities should take care of nature.

To my mind, if you want to change the world, you should change yourself first. You can talk about environmental problems and not take action. The government cannot solve these issues without support of citizens. First of all, people ought to love and respect wildlife. Besides, they have to be active and responsible for not relying on the government in all cases. For instance, everybody can throw rubbish into bins and use plastic bags several times etc.

 Other people believe only government is able to protect the environment. Firstly, they are sure citizens are not born with the desire to be environmentally friendly. The government has to adopt the laws and make people follow them. Secondly, the government has funds to implement nature-protecting programs.

I cannot agree with this point of view. As for me, despite the good will the authorities are not able to keep an eye on  putting these laws into practice. So they are useless. In addition, the government has other important purposes to spend money as pensions, housing, improving of infrastructure etc.

In conclusion, I want to say that government and citizens should take action together to protect the environment and not to kill themselves.

IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

The environmental problems that today’s world is facing are so great that there is little ordinary people can do to improve the situation. So governments and large organizations should be responsible for reducing the amount of damage being done to the environment.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words. 



Model Answer 1: [Disagreement]
Governments, environmentalists and large organisations, in many countries, are trying to curb environmental problems, and a part of this effort is to make people aware of environmental issues. It is surprising how our dietary habits or even the dresses we wear can all contribute to environmental problems. So, without involving ordinary citizens, government bodies and private organisations can not reverse the downward fall when it comes to the environment.

To commence with, without creating awareness among ordinary citizens, it is impossible to achieve environmental protection. We, as ordinary citizens, are constantly contributing to global warming, pollution and climate change. To illustrate, the cars we drive exhaust carbon dioxide, the dresses we wear require a large amount of fibres and water, the plastic bags we use end up in the water, and even the diets we follow can impact the climate. Thus, if people are not cognizant of their actions that are directly or indirectly responsible for global warming, they will not fully comprehend the gravity of the intricacies and feel responsible. Climate change is so big a problem that only governments and large organizations can not work to find a solution, and a coordinated effort is required.

It is undeniable that countries have taken serious steps to curb environmental problems, and our leaders meet frequently to discuss it. Restrictions are in place on gas emissions, fossil fuel use, plastic production and use, and alternative sources of green energy are being invested upon. But if the efforts are not made at an individual level, the magnitude of damage and pollution would far outstrip the efforts. To cite an example, scientists, engineers, environmentalists and the authority may come out with proposals and invest money in research, but they can not control the amount of plastic bags we use and throw away without recycling. Every environmental problem is related to our human lifestyle and unconsciousness, so it is high time to include the syllabus about environmental protection in our school. We have got only one planet to live on, and we must save it.

In conclusion, whatever we do to the environment will return and affect us. So all levels of education should emphasize how we can be more responsible in protecting it. A joint approach by the authority and mass people can only make it happen.


Sample Answer 2: [Partially Agreement — A collaborated approach is required.]
Nowadays, environmental issues have become bigger and more crucial than at any time in the past. Some believe that authorities, large firms and manufacturers can play a fundamental role in reversing the detrimental damages done to the environment while ordinary people have little to contribute. From my perspective, although the government and large companies must take immediate actions to save the earth, people have an important role to play.

The earth is confronting devastating threats, and it is imperative to take some radical moves by the authorities immediately. For example, authorities should dedicate a large amount of budget to improve the public transport infrastructures and enact strict regulations and laws regarding usage or ownership of private vehicles. They generate a considerable volume of greenhouse gases, which are considered the main culprit behind global warming. Moreover, it should be compulsory for companies to be based on renewable resources of energy for their productions. Also, they should limit their productions to the proportion of demand because mass production not only threatens the natural resources but is also primarily responsible for endless rubbish and harmful pollutants that overwhelmingly harm nature.

In addition to the actions required by the government and organisations, people need to be active in saving the mother planet. Little choices they make can have a big impact. To cite an instance, the way we dispose of our household waste can make a difference. If we separate the biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage from the origin, from homes, it will effectively reduce the recycling strain, which is profoundly time, money, and energy-consuming. Furthermore, the more they become aware of the environment and understand how crucial it is to protect it, the more sustainable and healthier the world becomes.

In conclusion, governments and large companies must initiate immediate and radical actions for the sake of the earth’s survival, and people still can play a significant role in diverse aspects of the earth’s well-being.

Sample Answer 3: [Agreement]
Every country in the world is suffering from some sort of environmental crisis, which is exacerbating each year. In my view, individual effort is less significant in reducing such damages; hence, the government, international organisations and big corporations should come forward to tackle this ever-increasing global warming and environmental issues.

Environmental damage is an intricate issue that primarily results from careless industrialisation. Most factories release chemicals into the environment without any treatment and emit CO2. So, they are liable for such devastating environmental degradation, and they should pay all the money to reinstate the environment. To give an example, according to the World Economic Forum, industrial wastes are the key reason for the contemporary ecological collapse, and it comprises 70% of the world’s pollutions. Since industries are primarily responsible for global warming, they should be made liable to invest to reverse it.

Moreover, pollution is wreaking havoc in all countries. As countries are inextricably connected, they can not deny their duties to resolve the issue. When the iceberg in Antarctica melts, it increases the risks of floods in the lower sea-level countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Interestingly, 80% of global warming is happening due to excessive fuel usages in developed countries. So rich countries should reduce their fuel consumption to limit the global temperature rise so that other countries become free from any environment-related jeopardies. Governments, international organisations and large corporations have the means and capacity to tackle it internationally, and ordinary people can do little to enact international laws or take effective initiatives to reverse the damage done.

In conclusion, the intensity of the environmental damages has reached its peak, so individual efforts cannot change it significantly. In fact, large organizations and governments should resolve the issue because they are responsible for most of the damages, and they have the means to control it.

Model Answer 4: [Disagreement]
Humans have been degrading the earth ever since we realised our capability to harness nature. As a result, we are facing environmental issues that have gone beyond our control. Despite coordinated efforts by environmentalists and governments, the downward spiral has hardly been reversed. And, environmental problems are not only the liability of the government and big organisations, but it is also everyone’s duty to protect, nurture and care for the mother earth.

To begin with, problems associated with the environment today are getting worse, and the earth is being polluted not only because of large industries or factories but also because of us — ordinary people. Every action we, as ordinary citizens, take also has an impact on our environment. For example, the use of plastic is a common cause of environmental contamination and no matter how many times the government bans the use of plastic, the havoc it causes to the environment will not stop unless mass people stop using it. We have to realise how significant it is to protect our environment, and deciding to carry bags made from fibres or biodegradable materials could be an initial step.

Moreover, the government can not decide to stop industrialisation as that would severely hamper a country’s GDP. On top of that, large corporations are mostly after their business profit rather than caring for the environment. So if we rely on such organisations to reverse the damage caused to nature, we would only be imprudent in the long run. We need to step forward and vow to save the only planet we have for us and our future generation. For instance, large organisations or the local authority can plant trees to a certain extent, and it will not have a drastic impact unless and until people start planting trees in their spare space and on the rooftop.

To conclude, considering the increase in overall environmental damages in recent years, the earth will become inhabitable soon. To save our planet and the human race from becoming extinct, we all should join our hands together and work towards the common goal of reducing the damage to our environment.

Model Answer 5: [Agreement]
Environmental degradation and its effects on earth has become a matter of great concern in today’s world. While some individuals argue that ordinary people can do little to improve the situation, I firmly believe that governments and large organizations should take responsibility for reducing the amount of damage being done to the environment.

Firstly, it is important to recognize that individuals alone cannot make significant progress in addressing environmental problems. For instance, the carbon footprint of an average person is much lower than that of a large corporation. Large corporations are responsible for a significant portion of the pollution that is damaging the environment. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the government to introduce and enforce regulations that will force these corporations to reduce their carbon footprint and operate in a more sustainable manner.

Secondly, it is essential for governments to lead the way in the development of new technologies that can help to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment. Research and development in areas such as renewable energy and green technologies are expensive and require substantial investment. Therefore, governments and large organizations are better placed to undertake this research and invest in the necessary infrastructure.

Moreover, governments can also play a crucial role in raising awareness about environmental issues among the public. Through public education campaigns, governments can encourage people to make more environmentally friendly choices, such as reducing their use of single-use plastics or taking public transport instead of driving. Such initiatives can have a noteworthy impact in reducing environmental damage.

In conclusion, the environmental problems that the world is facing today are significant, and it is the responsibility of governments and large organizations to take action to reduce the amount of damage being done to the environment. While individuals can make small changes to reduce their carbon footprint, significant progress can only be made if governments and corporations take responsibility for their impact on the environment.

Рассказ о проблемах окружающей среды на английской языке языке c переводом на русский. Английский текст на тему экологии дается с переводом на русский язык.

Вы можете использовать данный текст как образец, чтобы написать собственный рассказ или сочинение на урок или в качестве домашнего задания.

The planet is facing a wide range of environmental problems that threaten the health and well-being of both people and the natural world. These issues are complex and interconnected, and require urgent action to address. Планета сталкивается с широким спектром экологических проблем, которые угрожают здоровью и благополучию как людей, так и мира природы. Эти проблемы сложны и взаимосвязаны и требуют безотлагательных действий для их решения.
One of the most pressing environmental problems is climate change, which is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Climate change is causing rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and disruptions to ecosystems and the global economy. To combat climate change, we need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Одной из самых насущных экологических проблем является изменение климата, вызванное деятельностью человека, такой как сжигание ископаемого топлива и вырубка лесов. Изменение климата вызывает повышение уровня моря, более частые и серьезные стихийные бедствия, а также нарушение экосистем и мировой экономики. Для борьбы с изменением климата нам необходимо уменьшить нашу зависимость от ископаемого топлива и инвестировать в возобновляемые источники энергии, такие как солнечная энергия и энергия ветра.
Another major environmental problem is deforestation, which is happening at an alarming rate in many parts of the world. Deforestation leads to loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and increased carbon emissions, which exacerbate climate change. To address this problem, we need to protect and restore forests, and promote sustainable practices in agriculture and land use. Еще одной серьезной экологической проблемой является вырубка лесов, которая происходит угрожающими темпами во многих частях мира. Вырубка лесов приводит к утрате биоразнообразия, эрозии почвы и увеличению выбросов углерода, что усугубляет изменение климата. Для решения этой проблемы нам необходимо защищать и восстанавливать леса, а также продвигать устойчивые методы ведения сельского хозяйства и землепользования.
Pollution is also a major environmental problem, affecting air, water, and soil quality. Air pollution is linked to respiratory diseases, while water pollution can harm aquatic ecosystems and pose a threat to human health. Soil pollution can lead to reduced agricultural productivity and soil degradation. To tackle pollution, we need to adopt cleaner technologies and enforce stricter regulations on industrial emissions and waste disposal. Загрязнение также является серьезной экологической проблемой, влияющей на качество воздуха, воды и почвы. Загрязнение воздуха связано с респираторными заболеваниями, а загрязнение воды может нанести вред водным экосистемам и создать угрозу для здоровья человека. Загрязнение почвы может привести к снижению продуктивности сельского хозяйства и деградации почвы. Чтобы бороться с загрязнением, нам необходимо внедрить более чистые технологии и ввести более строгие правила в отношении промышленных выбросов и удаления отходов.
Loss of biodiversity is another critical environmental problem, with many species facing extinction due to habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Biodiversity loss can lead to imbalances in ecosystems and reduce the resilience of natural systems. To address this issue, we need to protect and restore habitats, and promote sustainable practices that minimize the impact of human activities on natural systems. Утрата биоразнообразия является еще одной серьезной экологической проблемой, поскольку многие виды находятся на грани исчезновения из-за разрушения среды обитания, загрязнения и изменения климата. Утрата биоразнообразия может привести к дисбалансу в экосистемах и снизить устойчивость природных систем. Чтобы решить эту проблему, нам необходимо защищать и восстанавливать среду обитания, а также продвигать устойчивые методы, сводящие к минимуму воздействие деятельности человека на природные системы.
In conclusion, environmental problems are among the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Addressing these problems will require a collective effort from governments, businesses, and individuals to promote sustainable practices and protect the natural world. We must take urgent action to mitigate the impact of human activities on the environment and safeguard the health and well-being of future generations. В заключение, экологические проблемы являются одними из самых насущных проблем, стоящих перед человечеством сегодня. Для решения этих проблем потребуются коллективные усилия правительств, предприятий и отдельных лиц для продвижения устойчивых методов и защиты мира природы. Мы должны принять срочные меры, чтобы смягчить воздействие деятельности человека на окружающую среду и защитить здоровье и благополучие будущих поколений.

39. Dear Stacy,

Thanks a lot for your email. It`s great to hear
from you again.

Let me answer your questions about
environmental problems. Well, in my region the biggest ecological problems are
water and soil pollution. I live near famous southern resort which is usually
filled with tourists. They leave garbage at the beaches and destroy our
ecology. Actually, young people in my country try to save the environment by organizing
cleaning up days and participating in green parties. As for recycling, it isn`t
really popular in Russia because we don`t have proper equipment and even
special bins for plastic, paper and glass.

I want to ask you some questions about the
Italian course. How long will it last? What skills does the course require? Is it free?

Anyway, that`s all for now. Hope to hear from
you again.

Yours,

Sonya

40.1 This year I am doing a project on what is important to
get a job in Zetland. I have found some relevant data on this subject organised
in a table and now I am going to analyse my findings.

As it can be seen from the table, there are five main
prerequisites while getting a job. Firstly, objective self-assessment is
selected by the majority of the respondents (34%). Secondly, a carefully
written CV (26%) is followed by the necessity of an active ambitious nature
(21%). Another key feature is that an optimistic attitude is chosen by a very
small number of the surveyed (5%). That is why this factor is put at the bottom
of the table.

It is worth mentioning that a carefully written CV
(26%) is twice as popular as communication skills (14%) which shows that it is
important for the applicants to prove their abillities and achivements with
proper documents. Moreover, there is a small difference between objective
self-assessment and a carefully written CV (26%). It makes up 8%. It is
unsurprisingly because with the help of this points it is possible to make a
good impression on the boss.

One problem that can arise with applying for a job is
that sometimes it can be hard to write a resume which can emphasize all your good
qualities. Moreover, it is necessary to follow a strict structure. Fortunately,
you can find an expert who can advise you how to create a portfolio which will
be favoured by the employer.

In conclusion, I think that the most important factor to get a job is a
good prepared pack of documents.

Task 3 

You are going to give a talk about environmental problems. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10-12 sentences).

Remember to say:

  • why people worry about environmental problems nowadays
  • what the most serious environmental problem in the place where you live is
  • what young people can do to improve the ecological situation 
  • what your attitude to environmental problems is

You have to talk continuously.

ОТВЕТЫ:


А — сложный

I’m going to give a talk about environmental problems.

People worry about environmental problems now because the Earth’s climate has already changed significantly. We all know about the global warming and the serious problems which it causes such as hurricanes, droughts and so on. The climate change makes us think more about the way we live now to save the planet for our children.

My region also has some environmental problems. There are different kinds of environmental pollution like air pollution, water pollution and land pollution here. Forests around the city are full of used bottles and cans. Such litter also can be found in rivers and lakes in my region.

Each and every one of us can do something for our environment. We can consume less, separate waste and do not waste water while brushing our teeth.

I think we should admit that environmental problems exist and start solving them as soon as possible.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about environmental problems.
