Question
Describe an environmental issue that is serious.
Sample answer
Speaking of environmental issues, I should own up to the fact that air pollution is the most lethal one. In the first place, this air you are breathing may be killing you or at least, it may exacerbate many already existing diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and allergies. In the second place, those who are most vulnerable to problems of air pollution are the elderly and children. Pollution has a direct link to pulmonary problems in developing fetuses, and damage to the immune system in adults. That’s why I believe it is highly imperative for governments to take steps to reduce this problem.
To prevent the air pollution the government must make and implement strict laws and rules so that the citizens abide by those laws. The citizens have to realize the air pollution must be prevented for their own benefits and for healthy life.
The number of industries and vehicles necessary for our lives cannot be controlled, but we must make sure that the CO2 and other harmful gas those vehicles and industries are omitting are not beyond the border line. We need to plant more trees and make the environment greener to prevent the problems related to the air.
Tips for answering this cue card topic:
First, clearly say the environmental problem and then give details how this is created, who are responsible for that, how this is impacting the environment and the severity of this problem in the future. Try to give some fact rather than giving all hypothetical data and to support your argument give a thought provoking question like ‘Are not we already aware of the issues of the (air) pollution? Have not we noticed in recent years that this is getting worse than ever? From my own experience I can see that this is getting even worse day by day and if we do not take necessary steps to reduce it, we will be the ultimate victims.”
When you talk about an environmental issue, you need to present as an advocate of the environmental thinkers. After you describe the problem and the severity of it, now you need to move on the subject of proposing solution of it. Mention that we are responsible for most of the pollutions that the environment is facing today and we should start working from right now towards the solution of it. Propose the importance of the awareness and humanity that we individual should apply to contribute reducing this problem and then say about the responsibility and the steps the government, social workers and authority should take to actually diminish the environmental issues.
