Английский язык, ОГЭ, устная часть, задание №3, монолог

• what people can do to protect the environment;

• what influence of pollution on people’s health is;

• what your attitude to ecological problems is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about ecological problems. Those problems have become very essential to our life recently.

* In my opinion, nowadays, many people are concerned about the environment because deforestation, water and air pollution, waste and garbage accumulation, global warming, animal extinction begin to influence our life. They threaten our future. I’m sure industrial factories do the most harm in the world, though, and we have to solve this problem first of all. I mean it’s industrial pollution.

* Of course, there are many ecological organisations in the world. They stand out for protecting the ecology, recycling plastic, glass and litter, saving endangered animals, growing plants and so on. It is what all people can really do. Also, those organisations call on governments to pass strict laws against environmental violations. We all also can collect garbage separately, plant and grow trees, take part in volunteering. I suspect it’s not enough, though.

* To tell the truth, pollution seriously affects people’s health. We breathe exhaust fumes with lead and poisons in the air. Also, we eat contaminated food. Water becomes dirty and needs to be purified. Dirty air and water do harm to our health. It is dangerous to all people on the Earth.

* My attitude to ecological problems is very serious. My friends and I recycle paper and sort litter, plat trees, and volunteer in our local area. We ourselves can always help nature. On the other hand, though, I think we have to change the industrial influence on ecology and get rid of danger of industrial waste, because they are the main cause of pollution. All other of problems arise from it.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

You are going to give a talk about environmental problems. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10—12 sentences).

Remember to say:

? why it is important to protect the environment;

? what the most serious environmental problem is in the place where you live;

? what you and your classmates can do to help protect the environment.

? what your attitude to environmental problems is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I am going to tell you about ecological problems. Those problems are becoming more and more disturbing nowadays.

* To my mind, protecting the environment is important because environment means our planet, the Earth. We no other Earth to live on, though. If we don’t care about it, we don’t care about ourselves. There are many serious threats like water and air pollution, waste accumulation, overfishing, soil degradation, global warming. Ice melting, and animal extinction. However, I guess all those problems are caused by overpopulation.

* I live in a big city. So the biggest problem is air pollution because of cars. They emit a lot of exhaust gases every day, every minute. The exhausts contain lead and other toxic substances. It doesn’t take a scientist to understand they do harm to our health. That’s the biggest problem we have in my local area.

* Honestly speaking, my classmates and I try our best to help to protect the environment. We collect garbage, separate the trash, plant trees, volunteer at school. We think, though, it’s not enough because factories produce more waste and trash than we can collect. People must change industries somehow. That’s the point.

* Overall, my attitude to environmental problems is very serious. They all are dangerous to our future. I would begin to solve them, though, another way. For example, it is necessary to find the initial cause and cope with it, because other problems seem to me secondary.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS-2

You are going to give a talk about environmental problems. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not 2 minutes – 10—12 sentences.

Remember to say:

• why people worry about environmental problems nowadays;

• what the most serious environmental problem in the place where you live is;

• what young people can do to improve the ecological situation;

• what your attitude to environmental problems is.

You have to talk continuously.

Now I’m going to give a talk about environmental problems. They are becoming more and more important in or life and will influence our future.

* It doesn’t take a scientist to understand that people worry about environmental problems because the Earth’s climate has already changed very much. We all know about the global warming and the serious problems which it causes, for example as hurricanes, droughts, ice melting, animal extinction and so on. The climate change makes us think more about the way we live now to save the planet for our future.

* Of course, my region also has some environmental problems. I live in (Moscow). There are different kinds of environmental pollution in the city, such as air, water, and land pollution as well as gas and carbon emissions. Parks and forests are full of plastic bottles, cans, and waste, even though they are cleaned regularly. Such litter also can be found in rivers and lakes in my region. But I personally consider exhaust gases from cars as the biggest problem for our health and future because there are a lot of poisonous things like lead in those traffic fumes.

* Every teenager can do something for our environment, undoubtedly. We can consume less products and clothes, separate trash, and do not waste water while brushing our teeth. Also, we can do a lot as volunteers, planting the trees and helping city authorities.

* A solution of each problem starts with your own attitude. My attitude is very determined, firm, and serious. I think we should admit that environmental problems exist and start solving them as soon as possible.

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

Now I’m going to talk about environmental problems. We all know about them and can see how they affect our life.

* 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.
