What your attitude to environmental problems is

You are going to give a talk about pollution (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Speaking about pollution, I regret to say that this topic has become an important part of the informational space. A lot of people all over the world are deeply concerned with the problem of air and water pollution, because no one remains unaffected by it no matter where they live.

Both air pollution and water pollution are extremely dangerous. For example, contamination of water results in limited access of people to clean water and a rise in its price. Those people who for various reasons cannot get clean water and have to drink polluted water start to suffer from different diseases.

If people want to live a pleasant and healthy life on our planet and preserve it for the future generations, they have to take urgent action. One of the solutions is to become more responsible consumers by reading more about ecology and environmental issues.

In other words, we should take care not only of ourselves, but also about the nature around us.

As far as my personal attitude to the problems of environmental pollution is concerned, I think that they need to be solved without delay if we do not want to deal with very serious consequences. I also believe that governments of different countries must do more for the environment instead of economizing on it.

Air and water are two things that people cannot live without. That’s why their quality is a matter of primary importance if we are talking about ecology and the environment.

Although the problem of water pollution is not being discussed much, it is really very important and requires immediate action, because its long-term consequences can be very negative. For instance, polluted and poisoned water kills the fish living in it, which gradually destroys the whole ecosystems of rivers, lakes, seas, etc. One more threat is that contaminated water has a bad influence on the health of the people who drink it.

What can people do to prevent all this from happening? A number of solutions have already been suggested. To name just a few, we must become more economical consumers, practice separate waste collection, promote love for nature and take part in various environmentally-oriented events and activities.

My personal opinion is that governments should become more involved in such activities too. At the moment, in many parts of the world, the authorities are only pursuing their mercenary ambitions without thinking about the future of their countries in terms of ecological well-being.

Ticket 7: letter and essay (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

«. We had an environmental education week at school. It was very interesting. What environmental problems exist in your region? What does your school do to improve the environment? What is your attitude to recycling?

Today I am going to visit a new shopping centre in my district»

I was very glad to get your letter. I should have written earlier but I have been busy at school.

Today’s world is very polluted and my city is not an exception. Moscow has different types of pollution: air, water, soil. Deforestation and overpopulation are also big problems for the city. My school helps our government to improve the environment: students do volunteer work and collect paper to recycle it.

I think that without recycling the world would be drown in a rubbish.

How often do you go shopping in malls? Do you go alone or with somebody? What’s your favourite shop? Unfortunately, I have to go now.

Hope to hear from you soon.

«Clothes people are wearing can influence their behaviour»

Nowadays, there are different points of view on clothes matter. Some people believe that it can make an impact on our behaviour and other convinced that it is not. Who is right?

In my opinion, clothes motivate one’s behaviour. Firstly, people dressed in expensive and gorgeous clothes are mainly self-confident and really care of other’s opinion. Secondly, our society get used that people in formal clothes are serious and confident, so people who wear it try to act that way. Finally, most people prefer wearing casual clothes because they feel comfortable in it so they may behave as they normally do and be themselves.

In contrast, there exists another point of view. People are convinced that different clothes only changes our appearance as our behaviour depends on our personality.

I cannot agree with the statement above. Nowadays there are a lot of subcultures that express themselves throughout clothes. On the other hand, most people follow the code of conduct not to stand out of the crowd and not cause gossips, laughter and etc.

In conclusion, I would like to point out that our behaviour and self-estimation changes with different clothes and it is important to wear things that will fit our character.

10 Environmental Problems and Solutions

If you’re searching for answers to the 10 biggest environmental problems and solutions, you might be concerned with the state of the planet today. If you’re worried, I want you to know that although the world faces major environmental problems, there are solutions. The solutions aren’t simple, and there are no magic bullets, but they exist.

There are also a lot of voices and opinions about environmental issues. So along with basic information about environmental problems and solutions, I also offer different perspectives and further reading so you can form your own opinions. Because there are many possible environmental solutions, and not even the “experts” have all the answers. So I encourage you to keep an open mind to every option. Let’s look for progress, not perfection.

I’ll write more about the UN Sustainable Development Goals below but wanted to mention these goals up-front. If you’re reading this article because you’re concerned about the environment (or maybe you’re feeling stressed or anxious about climate change) learn about the Global Goals first. The Global Goals offer a solid framework for solving environmental problems. Now, on to the 10 biggest environmental problems we face today.

10 environmental problems

These are the 10 biggest environmental problems in no particular order. Climate change is a hot topic right now so I include it first. It’s also first on the list simply because so many of the problems related to climate change are also connected to other environmental problems. Environmental problems like oil spills, deforestation, and poverty need to be solved in and of themselves. But solving these problems indirectly helps solve the problem of climate change.

There are also environmental problems like fluorinated gases that have a large impact on the climate, but not directly on our health or wealth. These problems are extra tricky because they’re expensive to solve and they get little media coverage. That’s why international laws and cooperation are especially important for solving the hardest problems.

Climate change

Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates.”

Climate change happens when greenhouse gases are released and trapped in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect creates a layer around the earth’s atmosphere that traps heat from the sun, making our atmosphere warmer, similar to a greenhouse.

The following greenhouse gases contribute to climate change.

Poverty

The world has been making steady progress toward ending extreme poverty for years according to the UN. The COVID-19 crisis has reversed some of the progress. But before the virus, life was better for many people around the world than ever before in history. Now, we need to deal with the crisis and get back to making progress.

Gender inequality

Although gender inequality is also not a direct environmental problem, solving problems like inadequate access to birth control, health services, and education has a positive impact on the economy and environment.

Education lays a foundation for vibrant lives for girls and women, their families, and their communities. It also is one of the most powerful levers available for avoiding emissions by curbing population growth. Women with more years of education have fewer and healthier children, and actively manage their reproductive health. Gender inequality is indirectly linked to environmental problems.”

Fluorinated gases used in refrigerants

Fluorinated gases, like the hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in refrigerators and air conditioners, are considered major contributors to climate change according to Drawdown.org. The most commonly used refrigerants have a high Global Warming Potential. The Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol offers a timeline for phasing out refrigerants with high Global Warming Potential, but it’s essential for companies and governments to maintain their commitments.

To minimize your personal impact, make sure to properly recycle refrigerators and air conditioning units. If you’re not sure how to recycle an appliance contact your local waste management company.

Fluorinated gases have a potent greenhouse effect and are widely used as refrigerants. Managing leaks and disposal of these chemicals can avoid emissions in buildings and landfills.”

Oil spills

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig sank in the Gulf of Mexico, making it one of the most environmentally damaging oil spills in history. The spill covered over 43,300 square miles. It killed and harmed dolphins, sea turtles, fish, and a variety of organisms (source).

The environmental problems associated with oil have many layers. Not only does an oil spill kill wildlife and fishing industries, but oil is also a fossil fuel that contributes to climate change. Although oil is a necessary source of energy in every developed and developing country today, it comes with dire environmental problems.

Wasted natural resources

267.8 million tons of municipal solid waste went to landfills instead of being recycled, upcycled, composted, or used for something else in 2017, according to the EPA. That’s a lot of wasted natural resources that originally came from nature, in one form or another. In a circular economy, these natural resources would not be wasted. Instead, they could be upcycled, recycled, or used to regenerate other materials.

Plastic pollution

You’ve probably seen images of marine life drowning in plastic pollution. Maybe you’re aware of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which is about twice the size of Texas. The people and countries with the highest income generate the most plastic waste. That’s because we can afford to buy more stuff wrapped in plastic.

Plastic pollution is a major environmental problem. Plastic comes from fossil fuels, which we need to phase out, so using less plastic is important. But ultimately solving the problem of plastic pollution may come down to improving waste management technology and creating a more circular economy for plastics.

Food waste

Food waste 2 is a big environmental problem. Up to 40% of food is wasted from farm to fork to landfill according to the National Resources Defense Council. There’s a lot of media coverage about how diet is related to the environment. But the majority of that coverage has to do with how individuals should eat, not how agriculture and waste management services should improve.

Instead of focusing on how individuals should change their eating habits (which is so darned hard) the answers just might lie in improving technology and holding companies to higher environmental standards. This leads me to deforestation, which is closely related to agriculture.

Deforestation

Deforestation is linked to many environmental problems, and the biggest problem is agriculture according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States.

Agri-businesses should meet their commitments to deforestation-free commodity chains and companies that have not made zero deforestation commitments should do so. Commodity investors should adopt business models that are environmentally and socially responsible. These actions will, in many cases, require a revision of current policies and financial incentives.

– Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Ocean acidification

Ocean acidification is one of the main problems associated with climate change. It doesn’t get as much attention as other environmental problems, but it can have a major impact on ocean ecosystems.

The ocean absorbs about 30% of the carbon dioxide (CO₂) that is released in the atmosphere. As levels of atmospheric CO₂ increase from human activity such as burning fossil fuels (e.g., car emissions) and changing land use (e.g., deforestation), the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the ocean also increases. When CO₂ is absorbed by seawater, a series of chemical reactions occur resulting in the increased concentration of hydrogen ions. This process has far reaching implications for the ocean and the creatures that live there.

10 environmental solutions

Now that you understand the environmental problems we face today, it’s time to understand the potential environmental solutions. I say potential solutions because the cause and effect from environmental problem to environmental solution is complex. There’s a word for this, it’s called dynamic complexity.

The below environmental solutions have the potential to solve different problems within a complex, dynamic, and interconnected system. But there is no magic bullet for environmental problems. So I encourage anyone interested in environmental solutions to think big-picture. Each solution is simply one piece of a giant puzzle. Again, look for progress rather than perfection.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The UN Sustainable Development Goals offer the best possible framework for dealing with most of the problems listed above. These are the 17 goals that almost all countries have agreed to.

Green innovation

Green innovation may be the most important environmental solution. People around the world are working on new technologies and solutions that could revolutionize the way we look at energy and waste. We haven’t scratched the surface yet on how humanity will solve these problems. But there’s no time to waste, and we need governments and companies to invest in research and development.

One step is to lay the foundation for innovation by drastically increasing government funding for research on clean energy solutions. Right now, the world spends only a few billion dollars a year on researching early-stage ideas for zero-carbon energy. It should be investing two or three times that much.”

Affordable and clean energy

There are several different forms of clean and renewable energy. Solar, wind, and hydro energy are considered renewable energy sources. Nuclear energy, a non-renewable source of energy that contributes little to climate change, is an example of clean energy.

Electrify everything

How to make energy clean and affordable for everyone is not an easy solution to implement. However, the phrase “electrify everything” is a concept that’s fairly easy to understand. Here’s a paragraph that helped me understand how we can truly get clean and affordable energy for everyone on the planet.

“We know, or at least have a pretty good idea, how to get electricity down to zero carbon. There are options: wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, and coal or natural gas with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). There are plenty of disagreements about exactly what mix of those sources will be needed to get us to a carbon-free grid, and what mix of centralized versus distributed resources, and what mix of supply-side versus demand-side solutions — but there’s broad consensus that pathways to fully clean electricity exist.”

Carbon taxes

You may have read statements from economists like former Federal Reserve Chairmen Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Janet Yellen, and Paul Volcker in support of a carbon tax. That’s because pollution and emissions are considered negative externalities.

By correcting a well-known market failure, a carbon tax will send a powerful price signal that harnesses the invisible hand of the marketplace to steer economic actors towards a low-carbon future.”

– Statement by economists posted in the Wall Street Journal

Conservation of natural resources

Conserving the natural resources we already have is one important environmental solution. The strategies below help individuals and companies conserve resources:

Carbon capture and sequestration

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) removes carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil, trees, plants, or underground. CCS is considered one way to mitigate climate change.

The simplest way to capture carbon is through photosynthesis. Trees and plants take atmospheric carbon dioxide and store that carbon in healthy soil and plants using photosynthesis. But there are more high-tech ways to capture and sequester carbon as well. One way is through geoengineering.

Geoengineering is the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earth’s natural systems to counteract climate change.

There are also companies that will sequester carbon for you.

Sustainable business and investing

Some businesses, like Patagonia, Interface, and IKEA, have built sustainability and resilience into the core of their companies. Others have fought against sustainability by lawyering up, using loopholes, and lying about the damage their businesses create. If we want environmental solutions, we need to support companies with sustainable business models that support progress. If you’re interested in learning more about what businesses and consumers can do, here are a few places to start:

Improved food production

The environmental problems associated with food production get a lot of attention in the media. Some environmentalists and journalists advocate for plant-based diets and veganism as a solution to the problems associated with food. Changing our eating habits may have a small impact on the environment, but there’s a much larger movement underfoot lead by farmers and entrepreneurs. Below is a shortlist of potential environmental solutions to problems associated with food production and water shortages:

Sustainable homes

Our homes use a lot of energy to run our dishwashers, washer and dryers, and HVAC systems. And let’s not forget about all the energy we use charging our computers and watching TV. It adds up. But instead of turning off our devices, it’s possible to build more efficient homes that waste less energy and use cleaner energy sources. Although we have a long way toward making most homes sustainable, here are a few environmental solutions related to homes.

Environmental frameworks and certifications

As mentioned earlier, the UN Sustainable Development Goals offer a framework for solving most environmental problems. If you’re interested in learning more about the environmental movement, here are a few places to start.

Fill in the gaps with words derived from the words in brackets.

There are many problems which (1)__________(threat) our natural environment. Acid rain, (2)__________(globe) warming and air and water (3)__________(pollute) are among the most serious ones. There are several ways to help improve the situation. Firstly, we should encourage (4)__________(recycle) because it is the(5)__________(produce) of new materials which causes the most damage. We must learn to reuse things like plastic bags and glass jars. Secondly, driving an environmentally- friendly car is also(6)__________(help).Furthermore, joining an (7)__________(organize) which plants trees or cleans up beaches would be a (8)__________(prove) that you are really (9)__________(concern) about the environment. Lastly, supporting groups such as Greenpeace, which try to prevent many(10)__________(environment) disasters, would help to ensure that our planet will be clean and safe for the future generations.

Keys: 1.threaten; 2. global; 3. pollution; 4. recycling; 5. production; 6.helpful; 7. organization; 8. proof; 9. concerned; 10. environmental.(слайд 38)

4. Let’s summarize and analyse all the information about the problem. We have made a special scheme which is called a «cluster». It shows the ways of our thoughts. It is a structure of our thinking. Consult the cluster on the screen and decide if we have missed anything important.Would you like to add anything? Of course, the list of serious ecological problems could be continued. We can also mention such burning issues as nuclear pollution and shortage of natural resources.(слайд 39)

5. Now I’d like to ask you some questions. They are fishing questions and shooting question. Fishing Questions (FQ) are exploratory. We may roughly know the area of the answer or sometimes we know this more exactly and sometimes we know it hardly at all. With an FQ we are exploring and trying to find things out.

With a Shooting Question we are not exploring but checking up on something. An SQ always has a «yes» or «no» answer. In other words the question can always be put in a way that could be answered with a «yes» or a «no.» So in a shooting question we know what the answer might be and we are just checking to see whether or not it is so. A shooting question is specific and aimed.

I’ll appreciate all your answers.

Are we facing some global environmental problems today?

What is happening to our forests? Why is it necessary to save the remaining rain forests?

Is the greenhouse effect a dangerous phenomenon?

Why are the seas in danger?

Should ecological education be introduced at schools?

Why is air pollution a serious problem?

Are people getting ecologically wise?

Why are nuclear power stations dangerous?

Should people recycle things?

What is the main cause of the greenhouse effect?

Should the ecological campaign be better advertised?

What will happen to our planet if the present trends continue?(слайд 40)

6. I have prepared for you some texts. Each group will get its own one. While reading you should use the scheme which is called Fishbone. I’d like to remind you what it is. It’s a special scheme that helps us to structure the text. The main problems are put in the head, upper bones are used for reasons (why the problem exists), lower bones are used for facts proving the existence of the reasons. Facts give the problem clear outlines. Your notes should be short. Use key words, contractions and exact details from the text. In the end you should come to the conclusion (or find possible ways to solve the problem) and put it in its tail. You will choose one representative from each group to announce the answers.(слайд 41)

8. It’s time to come to the conclusion. So, what can we do to improve the ecological situation? Work in groups and brainstorm the ideas. Are your ideas realistic? Can they be achieved in an everyday life? (слайд 42)

We must avoid using non-biodegradable material.

We have to find alternative ways to make energy. People should use clean energy, such as wind, solar and wave power, which don’t emit greenhouse gases.

Some serious measures should be taken to create a system of ecological security.

We should walk, cycle or use public transport whenever possible.

When shopping, use a reusable bag instead of buying a plastic one in each shop.

Use energy saving light bulbs.

Plant a tree. A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

This song was written to support some international organizations such as Amnesty International and Greenpeace. I Saved the World Today is a song recorded by the British pop music band. Eurythmics. It was written and co-produced by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and was included on their album Peace in 1999.

At a private concert, on board the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior II on the Thames

in London, they decided to donate all profits made by their tour to the two organisations.

The concerts took place across Europe, Australia and the US between September and December in 1999.

Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart wanted to make a positive contribution to the environment and human rights at the start of the new millennium. They also encouraged concert-goers and album-buyers to make a personal pledge to Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

While watching the video, you should fill the table, where you can express your personal opinions about some methods we have used during our lesson. Which of them do you find useful? Which of them will you use in the future? Do you want to improve your practical skills in some of them? (слайд 43, 44)

Английские топики на тему «Окружающая среда»

Очень часто в школах задают делать проекты на темы, связанные с окружающей средой. В английском нередко задают писать сочинения на тему «Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion» или «Envi­ron­ment Problems».

В этой статье будет описано как правильно писать такие эссе про окружающую среду и экологию, будет представлена необходимая лексика и несколько примеров таких топиков с переводом.

Как писать топик на тему «Environmental Protection»

Такие эссе редко задают писать начальным классам, а вот для средних и старших классов это обычная тема. Как и в любом другом сочинении, так и в топике про окружающую среду, в английском языке должно быть три части: вступление, основная часть и заключение.

Лексика на тему «Environment»

Английская лексика на тему «Окружающая среда»:

Пример топика №1

Проблемы окружающей среды на английском:

It is gen­er­al­ly known that today there exist big prob­lems with the envi­ron­ment which must be solved. Per­son­al­ly, I am sure that we, as inhab­i­tants of plan­et Earth, must respect and pro­tect the sur­round­ing nature. Let me intro­duce you some envi­ron­men­tal prob­lems and mea­sures to pre­vent them.

First­ly, one of the main prob­lems of mankind is the pol­lu­tion of water, air and soil from fac­to­ries. Every day, they release a huge amount of harm­ful chem­i­cals that enter the air, water and soil, and then into our body. To avoid dis­eases caused by these chem­i­cals, we must take action. For exam­ple, in fac­to­ries, fil­ters must be installed to sep­a­rate harm­ful substances.

Sec­ond­ly, defor­esta­tion is a prob­lem of great impor­tance. Trees absorb car­bon diox­ide and release oxy­gen, thus giv­ing us clean air to breathe. In addi­tion, trees are home to many ani­mals, and by cut­ting them down, we deprive them of their homes. In order not to dis­turb the eco­log­i­cal bal­ance, only old dry trees should be cut down, but at the same time new ones should be plant­ed instead.

Then, anoth­er sig­nif­i­cant prob­lem is poach­ing. Many species of ani­mals have long been destroyed because of the com­po­sure and cru­el­ty of man, and in fact they are the same liv­ing beings like man him­self. This prob­lem can only be solved by huge fines and pun­ish­ments, or by the sug­ges­tion that it is wrong.

In con­clu­sion, I would like to say that the state of the sur­round­ing depends only on man and his actions, there­fore we must try to pro­tect our nature in order to pre­vent its destruction.

Перевод:

Общеизвестно, что сегодня есть большие проблемы с окружающей средой, которые необходимо решать. Лично я уверен, что мы, жители планеты Земля, должны уважать и беречь окружающую природу. Позвольте мне представить вам несколько экологических проблем и меры по их предотвращению.

Во-первых, одна из главных проблем человечества – это загрязнение воды, воздуха и почвы заводами. Каждый день они выделяют огромное количество вредных химических веществ, которые попадают в воздух, воду и почву, а затем в наш организм. Чтобы избежать болезней, вызываемых этими химическими веществами, мы должны принять меры. Например, на заводах необходимо устанавливать фильтры для отделения вредных веществ.

Во-вторых, большое значение имеет вырубка лесов. Деревья поглощают углекислый газ и выделяют кислород, давая нам возможность дышать чистым воздухом. Кроме того, деревья являются домом для многих животных, и, вырубая их, мы лишаем их жилища. Чтобы не нарушать экологический баланс, нужно вырубать только старые засохшие деревья, но при этом вместо них высаживать новые.

Далее, еще одна важная проблема – браконьерство. Многие виды животных давно были уничтожены из-за хладнокровия и жестокости человека, и на самом деле они такие же живые существа, как и сам человек. Решить эту проблему можно только огромными штрафами и наказаниями или внушением, что это неправильно.

В заключение хочу сказать, что состояние окружающей среды зависит только от человека и его действий, поэтому мы должны постараться защитить свою природу, чтобы не допустить ее разрушения.

Сочинение про окружающую среду на английском языке:

Let me begin my essay by say­ing that the state of our health direct­ly depends on the state of our nature and of our envi­ron­ment. Per­son­al­ly, I think that we need to keep the sur­round­ing clean because this is our home and we must to have care about it. Let me present you some ideas in con­nec­tion with recent cli­mate changes, espe­cial­ly glob­al warm­ing, its con­se­quences and its conditions.

First­ly, glob­al warm­ing is a long-term increase of the aver­age tem­per­a­ture of the Earth’s cli­mate. The rea­son of this phe­nom­e­non is human activ­i­ties, name­ly the exhaust gas­es of cars and fac­to­ries and burn­ing chem­i­cals. This can be fatal to the whole world, for exam­ple, this appear­ance can destroy a favourable habi­tat for ani­mals and they can die. It caus­es dis­eases in ani­mals and peo­ple and anni­hi­late our health.

Sec­ond­ly, it is our respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­vent destruc­tion of cli­mate and nature and to pro­tect the envi­ron­ment. For instance, it is nec­es­sary to stop burn­ing fuel or to switch on bio­fu­el. We must seed the oceans with algae because they con­tribute to the great­est absorp­tion of car­bon diox­ide and realise of oxy­gen. More­over, we should have care about Moth­er Nature because she helps us to exist longer and happier.

Tak­ing every­thing into account, I would like to say that if we want to live our lives as hap­py as pos­si­ble, we need to keep our sur­round­ing clean and care­ful­ly mon­i­tor its condition.

Перевод:

Позвольте мне начать свое эссе с того, что состояние нашего здоровья напрямую зависит от состояния нашей природы и окружающей среды. Лично я считаю, что нам нужно поддерживать чистоту вокруг, потому что это наш дом, и мы должны заботиться о нем. Позвольте мне представить вам некоторые идеи в связи с недавними изменениями климата, особенно с глобальным потеплением, его последствиями и условиями.

Во-первых, глобальное потепление — это долгосрочное повышение средней температуры климата Земли. Причина этого явления — деятельность человека, а именно выхлопные газы машин и заводов и сжигание химикатов. Это может быть пагубным для всего мира, например, такое появление может разрушить благоприятную среду обитания для животных, и они могут погибнуть. Оно вызывает болезни у животных и людей и разрушает наше здоровье.

Во-вторых, мы обязаны предотвращать разрушение климата и природы и защищать окружающую среду. Например, необходимо прекратить сжигание топлива или перейти на биотопливо. Мы должны засеять океаны водорослями, потому что они способствуют наибольшему поглощению углекислого газа и выделению кислорода. Более того, мы должны заботиться о Матери-природе, потому что она помогает нам существовать дольше и счастливее.

Принимая все во внимание, хочу сказать, что, если мы хотим прожить свою жизнь как можно более счастливыми, нам необходимо содержать в чистоте свое окружение и внимательно следить за его состоянием.

Изучая английский язык, нужно уметь писать сочинения на любую тему, так как это может быть полезно на экзаменах и даже в повседневной жизни. Написать топик на тему «Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion» («Защита окружающей среды») достаточно легко, если знать структуру написания эссе и иметь достаточный словарный запас.

При написании своего эссе, вы можете воспользоваться идеями, представленными в примерах, либо придумать самостоятельно.
