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 it is important to protect the environment;

● what the most serious environmental problem is in the place where you live;

● what you and your classmates can do to help protect the environment.

● what your attitude to environmental problems is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about ecological problems. Those problems are becoming more and more disturbing nowadays.

* To my mind, protecting the environment is important because environment means our planet, the Earth. We no other Earth to live on, though. If we don’t care about it, we don’t care about ourselves. There are many serious threats like water and air pollution, waste accumulation, overfishing, soil degradation, global warming. Ice melting, and animal extinction. However, I guess all those problems are caused by overpopulation.

* I live in a big city. So the biggest problem is air pollution because of cars. They emit a lot of exhaust gases every day, every minute. The exhausts contain lead and other toxic substances. It doesn’t take a scientist to understand they do harm to our health. That’s the biggest problem we have in my local area.

* Honestly speaking, my classmates and I try our best to help to protect the environment. We collect garbage, separate the trash, plant trees, volunteer at school. We think, though, it’s not enough because factories produce more waste and trash than we can collect. People must change industries somehow. That’s the point.

* Overall, my attitude to environmental problems is very serious. They all are dangerous to our future. I would begin to solve them, though, another way. For example, it is necessary to find the initial cause and cope with it, because other problems seem to me secondary.

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