* To begin with, I’d like to say that more and more people are getting worried about environmental problems nowadays. Why? It’s easy. The Earth’s climate and resources have already changed significantly. A lot of people know about the global warming and pure water scarcity, about the serious consequences, like droughts, floods, hurricanes, ice melting, and 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.

* My city 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. Moreover, we face with deforestation in or region, too. New buildings take place of forests now. Road traffic, airport, railroads, manufacturing plants, construction, and demolition cause noise pollution. Many just sigh and say that this is the a typical big city life.

* To tell the truth, everyone can contribute in our environment. Even teenagers. We can try to cut down on our consumption, separate garbage, and do not waste water recklessly. Also we can volunteer and help or schools and city in cleaning public space or planning trees.

* You won’t believe it but my attitude to environmental problems is not so easy and positive. Why? On the one side I can see that ordinary people do a lot to help the nature and discuss those problems. On the other hands, their efforts and work are not enough to compensate the harm and pollution of big factories and even cars in the cities. That all looks «a catch-22» to me, I mean there is no way out. That kind of thing.

That’s all that I wanted to tell you about environmental problems.

You are going to give a talk about pollution. You will have to start in 1,5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

● what your attitude to the problems of environmental pollution is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about pollution. It has become a serious global problem recently.

* In my opinion, nowadays people are getting worried about air and water pollution, because they are vital resources. No one can live without water and air. Both are invaluable. And the more polluted they are, the more people get sick and die. It’s quite clear and dangerous at the same time.

* It doesn’t take a scientist to understand that consequences of water pollution will be bad. It will lead to a number of diseases first. Secondly, it results in biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and destruction of plants and wildlife. Thirdly, human beings will end up dying out quickly and completely. That kind of thing.

* In my opinion, if people want to live on the Earth, they have to must join forces and change the work of all types of industry. It is the main source of water and air pollution. People may have to give up borders of all countries to use resources efficiently. Something like that.
