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.
Now I’m going to talk about environmental problems.
To begin with, I’d like to say that more and more people are getting worried about environmental problems nowadays.
The Earth’s climate has already changed significantly. A lot of people know about the global warming and the serious complications it has such as droughts, floods, hurricanes and just the radical climatic change in some particular areas. The climate should make people think more about our lifestyle and our inheritance for the future generations. Young people like Greta Thunberg try to draw attention to some ecological problems and help to save the planet for the future.
Saint Petersburg also has some environmental problems. There are different kinds of environmental pollution like air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution here. Woods around the city are full of used plastic bottles and cans. Such litter also can be found in various rivers, channels and lakes. Road traffic, airport, railroads, manufacturing plants, construction and demolition also cause noise pollution. People say that the latest is the attribute of a big city life.
Everyone can contribute in our environment. We can try to cut down on our consumption, separate waste and do not waste water while brushing our teeth or washing the dishes. When we are aware of what we can do we can try our best and make a difference.
That’s all that I wanted to tell you about environmental problems.
