IELTS Speaking Part 1 Topic: Pollution
1. Is there anything being polluted in your
hometown?
Absolutely. As the industry and economy are on the
rise (increasing), more and more factories are showing up, causing air
pollution. Moreover, as people’s salaries have increased, more people can
afford their own personal vehicles, which worsens this problem. Furthermore,
there is waste dumped (thrown into) in the bodies of water, causing water
pollution. Lastly, as there are many new construction projects and traffic
jams, noise pollution is also on the rise.
2. What are the common types of pollutions in the
countryside?
As many of the factories are built in rural areas,
they are a cause of air pollution in the countryside. Moreover, the use of
pesticides (chemicals to keep bugs and animals away from plants) and chemical
fertilizers (chemicals added to make soil stronger) in farming does not help
this problem. Furthermore, some people dispose of their personal waste into
bodies of water, causing water pollution.
3. What are the causes of those pollutions?
Although there are many different factors to these
complex (complicated with many parts) problems, I will talk about a few. I
would say that the cause of these pollutions are due to industry, such as the
factories. Moreover, farming contributes to this problem, as there is a high
demand to have enough food for the increasing population. Lastly, water
pollution stems from (starts from) poor waste management systems in rural
areas, as well as ineffective operation of waste treatment facilities.
4. Have you ever done anything to help the
environment?
I could definitely do more! However, I think that
small actions do count. I always carry
my trash home with me to throw away if there isn’t a public garbage bin
available. I would feel so guilty blatantly littering! Moreover, I choose to
ride my bicycle or walk when transportation isn’t needed. Lastly, I opt
(choose) to not get a plastic bag when they are unnecessary in stores.
