Describe a polluted place. You should say:
And explain how this place was affected.
|
Where is the place? When did you visit this place? (Context of the Event) |
Hanoi – my birthplace |
| Since the day I was born | |
|
What kind of pollution did you see there? And explain how this place was affected. |
Traffic congestion → worse Masks → avoid chemical substances and micro dust → respiratory system (people of all ages)
Trashes all over the surface, even in landmarks. → worsen the image of Hanoi + accelerate water processing fees → rarer pure water |
When receiving the cue card, it is a bit sad for me to admit that the first city to spring to my mind is nowhere else but the place where I was born and bred – Hanoi. I’ve been living here since I was born, I can say that this city is quite a tight spot when it comes to pollution.
Take the sky for example, instead of a clear blue sky, most of the time all we can see above our heads is a grayish sky full of smog, even on the brightest days of summer. I don’t mean to exaggerate, but there were days when the city was covered by a blanket of fog. It’s fair to say that air pollution has now engulfed Hanoi, especially in the areas where traffic congestions happen every day.
This is getting worse as you can barely notice anyone without a mask on the crowded streets of Hanoi, you know, to stay away from harmful substances and micro dust. Some people even have an air purifier at home, all of these are to protect ourselves from contractingrespiratory diseases while living in such a place.
And not just the air, the water here is severely polluted as well. I could never forget the smell of rubbish from those rivers along my way to school, yet I couldn’t understand how people still built their sewage lines leading directly into the river, and of course, live their whole lives with its contaminated water.
I am quite afraid that one day once these rivers are badly polluted to its greatest extent, we would even have to buy water with the price of a gold leaf – which has already been the case in China. But let’s not wish for that reality to happen, as I believe our authorities are trying their best to ameliorate this situation so that the next generation can breathe in much better air.
Một số từ vựng hay đã sử dụng trong bài mẫu Describe a polluted place:
Oh, I hardly know where to start, as unfortunately, Vietnam is suffering from all sources of pollution. But I guess the most alarming is our recent world record for air pollution, causing all citizens to put a mask on everytime they go outside. This is partly due to the industrialization process where more energy needs burning, which means more exhaust fumes emitted.
I would also want to add the traffic congestion during peak hours in megacities as this results in not only an increased level of air pollution, but also noise pollution. Altogether these effects can take a toll on our health and it is no exaggeration to say that living here is like dying, but at a slow rate.
Through sustainable actions every day, I believe each person can make the most significant impact on preserving the environment. There are several ways we, as individuals, can work to achieve this in our home lives. Shifting to sustainable food products can really help in the long run I think. While it may be hard to make the change, navigating away from a meat-focused diet can help protect the environment.
As an aware consumer, we should also buy more organic or locally sourced food as these options often are more sustainably produced and require less transportation, which obviously means less carbon footprint that harms the environment.
I am afraid that just a shift in individual lifestyles won’t be enough to save our planet, but it calls for systemic changes from the government, who is greatly responsible for those industrialization policies. Believe it or not, even if every individual personally chooses to become vegan, leads a car-free lifestyle, the total amount of carbon footprint reduced won’t be substantial enough, compared to that produced by the heavy industries.
Therefore, changes to our national energy grid, a carbon fee and dividend are some examples of visionary policies that could actually make a difference as they get to the root of the problem. That is not to deny individual efforts, but to emphasize on how significant it would be to involve governmental decisions in the process of making this world a better place.
Absolutely yes, indeed I believe that the fate of the Earth is in the hands of our children and with our help from environmental programs at schools, they have the power to make a substantial difference in the future.
Being introduced to the environmental impact of their daily life and the concept of sustainability, children, from an early age, can stay informed about potential future hazards such as poor air quality and polluted drinking water, therefore establishing lifelong habits that will work towards living a greener life. I couldn’t wait to live in a place where all adults are sustainable consumers, eliminating the largest possible amount of carbon footprint.
Many of us have seen, and even experienced, the effects of climate change. But it is not just about extreme weather like floods, droughts and hurricanes, on a larger scale, I do fear that these consequences will become more frequent and more intense in the coming decades. It tears me to say that children have contributed the least to the climate crisis, but will pay the highest price.
Once global warming is not well-addressed, extreme events, including wildfires, floods and hurricanes, would become a frightening new normal. Hotter temperatures, air pollution and violent storms are leading to immediate, life-threatening dangers for children, including malnutrition and higher risk of infectious diseases. That would never be a world where I want to imagine myself in, not to mention my children to grow up in, I have to say.
