Minh: Hello Daisy, how are you preparing for the oral test next Thursday? I don’t have many ideas about how to reduce our negative impact on the surrounding environment…
Daisy: Well. There are a wide range of ways we can do to protect our environment. You can search the information on the Internet, newspapers or YouTube channels.
Minh: Oh, thank you very much. In fact, I was absent from my last class because of my illness. It took some time to recover, so I couldn’t catch all the lessons last week.
Daisy: So sorry to hear that. It’s just Saturday, you still have four days. Plus, it’s not very difficult. According to the lessons, one way we can do is to avoid using products with plastic packages as much as possible because we all know that plastic items need a very long time to be gotten rid of – hundreds of years although some people think it’s just several years.
Minh: Wow, it’s unbelievable. So how about other ways?
Daisy: If you find it hard to demonstrate the idea, another choice is to talk about minimizing air pollution by using public transportation instead of private cars and motorbikes.
Minh: Sounds interesting. But I think it would be easier for me to have a look at how we can decrease the amount of plastic bags we consume every day. I can utilize my family’s real experience as an example. I think my teacher will appreciate that. I’ll use your suggestions for the writing test, which is four weeks from now, as I need more time to collect the information about it.
TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Global warming is said to be a culprit of many destructive natural damages. Many research shows that glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland are melting quickly, which has a detrimental influence on ocean currents. Cold lands are habitats of various polar mammals; therefore, ice melting means that their homeland is shrinking in size, and they will be on the brink of extinction. Furthermore, scientists point out that the global rising temperature results in the death of many coral reefs in many regions and the disappearance of various kinds of fish. It is not to mention the fact that human life has also been threatened. Most meteorologists and marine experts agree that the change of average heat worldwide links to the extensive storms and hurricanes, and other naturally severe disasters happening around the planet. Recently, a devastating tornado has badly torn a coastal state in the USA, killing at least 70 people and destroying a lot of houses and infrastructure. The town mayor said that he had never seen such a violently tremendous natural phenomenon before. Many European countries have also witnessed the rage of Mother Nature when they have been hit by ferocious storms taking months to recover the local people’s normal life. No one will know exactly the future, but the worst scenario of the earth can be predictable for sure if humans continue treating the environment as they are doing. Global warming is an emergency issue that should be resolved immediately.
