In my opinion, when it comes to environmental issues, particularly those related to global warming, one cannot adopt the ostrich approach.

As a result of extensive climate change brought on by global warming, Vietnam’s summers are now much longer than they used to be, which irritates me because I’ve never been a fan of the heat.

Numerous environmental problems exist in the globe today, including waste management, deforestation, biodiversity, etc. But now I want to focus more on a problem that has rightfully received a lot of public attention: global warming.

To put it simply, global warming is a process in which the average annual temperature of the entire planet is rising far more quickly. Since the industrial revolution, the world has experienced some of the hottest years ever recorded, and according to several studies, time is running out to address this problem.

The atmosphere’s many heat-trapping pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and synthetic fluorinated gasses, which capture sunlight heat that might otherwise escape into space, are mostly to blame for this issue. These pollutants are a result of human activity, particularly the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production or transportation.

The negative effects that this environmental problem will have on the world are already evident. Scientists claim that longer heat waves, more severe droughts, heavier rainfall, and more powerful tropical storms are all being fueled by average temperature increases. The aforementioned natural disasters endanger the health and safety of many people by killing tens of thousands of people annually and destroying the houses of many communities.

Additionally, as a result of climate change brought on by global warming, many creatures and plants lose their natural habitats and go extinct. And those are just two of the many negative consequences of global warming. More alternative energy technology must be used, and emissions must be drastically reduced, to tackle this problem.

Governments and businesses must set up policies right now that meet or exceed the new manufacturing standards for environmental friendliness. By reducing their own carbon footprint, each person can also contribute to this global initiative. We as a community can only preserve a sustainable environment for our future generations by doing that.

Key Vocabulary

• Waste management (n): quản lý chất thải
• Deforestation (n): phá rừng
• Biodiversity (n): sự đa dạng sinh học
• Industrial revolution (n): cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp
• Heat-trapping pollutants (n): chất ô nhiễm giữ nhiệt
• Methane (n): mê-tan
• Synthetic fluorinated gasses (n): khí flo hóa tổng hợp
• Combustion (n): đốt cháy
• Evident (adj): hiển nhiên
• Be fueled by: được thúc đẩy bởi
• Natural habitats (n): môi trường sống tự nhiên
• Go extinct: tuyệt chủng
• Drastically (adv): quyết liệt
• Tackle this problem: giải quyết vấn đề này
• Set up policies: thiết lập các chính sách
• Exceed the new manufacturing standards: vượt tiêu chuẩn sản xuất mới
• Environmental friendliness (n): thân thiện với môi trường
• Carbon footprint (n): khí thải carbon

Sample discussion on global warming in IELTS Speaking part 3

Mời bạn cùng nghe bài phát thanh mẫu Phần 3 của Mytour nhé:

Do you believe that governments worldwide are taking adequate steps to combat global warming?

I believe that significant attempts are being made to slow the rate at which the Earth is warming. Numerous groups have been describing numerous geoengineering concepts, which are alternate ways to slow global warming, and various rules that try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in numerous industries have been put into action. Although there has been a lot of progress, I do believe that governments and corporations need to uphold their commitments if we hope to prevent the serious effects of global warming in the near future. This is because many initiatives that contribute to global warming are still receiving funding.

• Attempts (n): nỗ lực
• Geoengineer (n): địa kỹ thuật
• Carbon dioxide emissions (n): khí thải CO2
• Uphold sb’s commitments: duy trì các cam kết

Is teaching students about environmental protection important in schools?

Certainly. There are several justifications for this, but the most crucial one is that it will make them appreciate the need to protect our world. Children learn about the world as they become older and begin to form their own opinions and values. They will carry it with them for the rest of their life if we can inculcate in them a love of nature and a desire to preserve the environment at a young age. They will also be better positioned to effect good change in terms of environmental policy and practices as they get older and enter the workforce.

• Justifications (n): lời biện minh
• Inculcate (v): khắc sâu

What actions should we take to resolve this issue?

• Mitigate (v): giảm nhẹ
• Investments (n): sự đầu tư
• Harness (v): khai thác
• Biomass (n): sinh khối
• Heat-trapping gasses (n): khí giữ nhiệt
