Environmental problemsPeople discuss environmental problems a lot nowadays. There are lots of TV programmes and newspaper articles that explain that if we don't stop polluting the air and if we continue to destroy the forests, the situation will become very dangerous for all of us. In the past people were not able to affect nature so much because they didn't have such powerful technology, but now people have to be very careful or we may destroy the whole planet. Global warming is one of the examples. If global warming goes on, cities and whole countries will be lost under water.There are some environmental problems in our town, too. The first one is that we suffer from air pollution as there are too many cars in the streets. Its especially harmful for elderly people and small children. Another problem is our river. It's very dirty and it's dangerous to swim there. There's rubbish on the beach and on the banks of the river.Ordinary people and teenagers like me can't solve global environmental problems but we can clean up our town and keep our parks and river banks tidy. As for me, I never throw plastic bottles or ice cream packages on the ground. If some of my friends do, I make them pick up their rubbish and put it into the rubbish bin. If they refuse to do it, I pick up their rubbish myself. They usually feel very uncomfortable about it and never do it again. But if they don't change their behaviour, we don't remain friends for long.I really think that people can't ignore major and minor environmental problems any longer. Governments and ordinary people should do everything they can to save nature and themselves. Answer the questions, record audio and upload an audio file.
