Environment – one of the most common topics in Writing Task 2.
- climate change: thay đổi khí hậu
Example: Most scientists believe that climate change today is happening largely because of human industrial activities. - atmosphere: khí quyển
Example: The atmosphere in Hanoi is being polluted partly because too many vehicles are emitting large quantities of smoke.Relevant collocations:
– in the atmosphere (trong khí quyển)– polluted/clear atmosphere (khí quyển ô nhiễm/sạch) - greenhouse gas: khí gây hiệu ứng nhà kính
Example: We need a global system for limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
Relevant collocations:
– greenhouse gas emission (sự thải khí gây hiệu ứng nhà kính) - desertification: sa mạc hóa
Example: Trees help to prevent desertification, as well as providing shade and firewood. - Pollution/contamination: sự ô nhiễm
Example: Increasing levels of air pollution in industrial zones are having a negative effect on inhabitants of nearby areas.Relevant collocations:
– a source of pollution (nguồn ô nhiễm) - waste: chất thải
Example: Toxic waste from factories is being dumped directly into nearby rivers and does great harm to the animals living there.Relevant collocations:
– produce waste (tạo ra chất thải)– dump, get rid of (xả chất thải) - exhaust: khí thải (đặc biệt từ ô tô và các ống xả)
Example: Exhaust from cars is the main reason for the city’s pollution.Relevant collocations:
– emission, fumes, gas, pollution, smoke exhaust - emit: thải ra
Example: The atmosphere in Hanoi is being polluted partly because too many vehicles are emitting large quantities of smoke.Relevant collocations:
– emit beam, noise, smell, or gas (tỏa ra ánh sáng, tiếng ồn, mùi và khí) - impact: ảnh hưởng
Example: The environmental impact of the industrial activities in this region is enormous.Relevant collocations:
– create, exert impact (tạo ra ảnh hưởng)– enhance, increase, maximize impact (tăng cường ảnh hưởng) - toxic: độc hại
Example: Toxic waste from factories is being dumped directly into nearby rivers and does great harm to the animals living there.Relevant collocations:
Toxic environment/ pollutant/substance (môi trường, chất ô nhiễm, chất độc hại) - deforestation: sự phá rừng
Example: Deforestation is the third major contributor to global warming. - global warming: sự nóng lên toàn cầu
Example: The destruction of the rainforests is contributing to global warming.
