Đề thi và bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Environment part 1

I suppose environmental issues result from many things but mainly from human activities. They clear forests for farming and housing, and this leaves negative impacts on the environment as well as habitats of wildlife. Besides, the rising levels of CO2 due to industrial activities also lead to global warming.

  • environmental issue (n): vấn đề môi trường
  • clear forests: phá rừng
  • impact (on sth) (n): tác động lên cái gì
  • habitat of wildlife (n): môi trường sống của động/thực vật hoang dã
  • global warming (n): nóng lên toàn cầu

As far as I know, Vietnam is a developing country and it’s been in the process of industrialization and modernization. So, factories have mushroomed in recent decades, coming along with severe problems like air pollution or water pollution. These problems have afflicted many citizens, especially those living in industrial zones. They are suffering from not only insufficiency of clean water but also respiratory diseases.

  • Industrialization (n): công nghiệp hóa
  • Modernization (n): hiện đại hóa
  • severe (adj): nghiêm trọng
  • Afflict (v): gây ảnh hưởng
  • industrial zone (n): khu công nghiệp
  • Insufficiency (n): sự thiếu hụt, không đủ
  • respiratory diseases (n): bệnh đường hô hấp

Well..certainly. We do really care for our environment. That’s the reason when we do the shopping, we usually use reusable bags instead of plastic ones.  What’s more? We also turn over used bottles to other purposes. We often use them to plant trees or flowers.

  • Care for sth: quan tâm đến điều gì
  • reusable (adj): có thể tái sử dụng
  • turn over sth to other purposes: sử dụng cái gì với một đích khác

describe an environmental problem

Now, I would like to talk about a serious environmental problem currently occurring in Hanoi. That is air pollution

Pollution is a problem all over the world but with developing countries like Vietnam, the situation will probably be more severe, particularly in the air. In the political and economic center of the whole country, it is obvious that people everywhere are gathering into one place to seek jobs. As a result, an increasing amount of traffic and industries produce carbon monoxide and exhaust fumes so the air is visibly contaminated

This has been a problem over the last few decades and continues to get worse. Recently, the air quality is so contaminated that the sales of air purifiers increase significantly. I think people in Hanoi are aware of the effect of air pollution, it not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the city but also impacts people’s health since breathing in the polluted air can cause respiratory problems such as asthma. I cling to a belief that if we don’t take this into account seriously, it can be extremely detrimental. In the worst scenario, the hole in the ozone layer will be widened. Therefore, I hope that in the future, fewer people will resort to private cars and more people will use public transportation.

  • air pollution  (n): ô nhiễm không khí
  • Severe (adj): nghiêm trọng
  • carbon monoxide (n): khí CO
  • Contaminate (v): ô nhiễm
  • air purifier (n): máy lọc khí
  • aesthetic appeal (n): sức hút về mặt thẩm mỹ
  • respiratory problems (n): những vấn đề về đường hô hấp
  • Asthma (n): bệnh hen
  • Detrimental (adj): có hại cho
  • ozone layer (n): tầng ôzôn
  • resort to: đành phải sử dụng đến

As for me, the government and individuals both share responsibility for protecting the environment. Speaking of the government, they can be stricter with imposing laws and punishing violations

For instance, there should be laws regulating companies’ use of air conditioners over a certain temperature. What’s more? The government can introduce laws to make it necessary for the citizens to recycle used bottles. When it comes to individuals, I guess they can reduce the rising levels of CO2  by taking public transportations instead of using their personal vehicles.

  • share responsibility for sth: đều có trách nhiệm cho điều gì
  • impose laws: áp đặt luật
  • punish violation: trừng phạt vi phạm
  • regulate (v): quy định
  • introduce laws: đưa ra/ ban bố luật
  • Recycle (v): tái chế
  • taking public transportations: đi bằng các phương tiện công cộng

It’s a tough question. Frankly speaking, I’ve never thought about it before…. Well, I suppose children can be educated about environmental protection through lessons at schools. For example, in geology lessons, teachers can put children into groups and let them discuss the negative impacts of global warming on human life and how to reduce those negative impacts. 

Through discussion, maybe they can come up with innovative ways to deal with environmental problems. And it just occurs to me that children can also be educated about environmental protection by their parents. When doing the shopping, parents can help their children develop an environmentally-friendly habit by using reusable bags instead of plastic ones.

  • environmental protection (n): bảo vệ môi trường
  • Impact (n): tác động
  • global warming (n): nóng lên toàn cầu
  • come up with: nghĩ ra
  • develop an environmentally-friendly habit: hình thành thói quen thân thiện với môi trường
  • reusable bag (n): túi có thể tái sử dụng

From my perspective, the elderly appear to be more aware and concerned about environmental protection, whereas the young are quite self-obsessed nowadays. They are way more concerned with their social media apps than with environmental issues. But it’s a totally different story when it comes to their older counterparts. Older people often lead litter-picking groups or clean beaches of plastic waste. Some younger people may do these things as well, but the majority are too self-absorbed to make a difference.

  • self-obsessed (adj): chỉ quan tâm đến bản thân
  • environmental issues (n): các vấn đề môi trường
  • it’s a different story: là một câu chuyện khác
  • litter-picking group (n): nhóm thu nhặt rác 
  • make a difference: tạo ra sự khác biệt (cải thiện một điều gì đó)
