Describe an environmental problem that has occurred in your country.
You should say:
- What the cause of the problem is
- What effect it has had on your country
- What action has been taken to solve this
- Why you think it is important to solve this problem
I’m gonna talk about air pollution, which is one of the most severe environmental problems in my city.
This issue is caused by several reasons. Firstly, due to modernization, private vehicles become more affordable for people from all walks of life. This leads to the fact that there are more and more cars, trucks and motorbikes instead of bicycles commuting on roads. As a result, the amount of exhaust emissions stemming from these modes of transport increases, and therefore the atmosphere is contaminated. Secondly, more factories and power plants built also contribute to air pollution.
As regards actions taken to solve this problem, people should use environmentally-friendly transportations like bicycles or buses instead of their private vehicles like cars or motorbikes. Another action might be that it’s the government’s responsibility to plant more trees in the city and encourage their citizens to plant trees at home.
Of course, it’s vital for us to come up with other solutions to mitigate this issue as soon as we can because of its clear detriments. You know, breathing in such severely polluted air can be very harmful to our health. To be more specific, long-term exposure to air pollution might lead to several diseases associated with heart, lungs, cancers and other health problems. In addition to that, the severity of polluted air causes the high frequency of smog in the morning, which makes commuters difficult to see. As a result, there might be more traffic accidents occurring in my city. That’s why it’s important for us to control air pollution.
