名師指點雅思口語考試中的環境問題
一、考試說明
城市環境問題是今年的新題，最近頻頻出現于各大賽區的考試中。考生向考官簡述自己城市的一個常見環境問題后，在第三部分里會圍繞環境污染和保護的方方面面與其展開討論。在真題演練部分我以北京的沙塵暴為例，給出了一個參考性框架。在話題相關材料部分，大家可以看到一位印度作家在報紙上講述印度的白色污染，里面有很多詞組和想法很適合口語和寫作。
二、真題演練
Describe an environmental problem in your country.
You should say:
what this problem is
what the causes of the problem are
how this problem affects people
and explain how this problem could be solved.
參考答案
1、點題。Dust storm
Problem in northern China
Early spring, Strong winds carry sand from Gobi desert. 讓我擔心
2、原因。two major reasons
Strong winds,
desertification, Overuse of farmland and overgrazing
植被破壞，romove tons of topsoil a day.
3、影響。Badly.
Yellow, poor visibility.
戴face masks, respiratory disease. 引發健康問題
4、解決。復雜，簡單解決方案.
最簡單，Plant trees
最好的，turn cultivated land back into grasslands and forests. This is an important measure to control water loss and soil erosion.

Plastic Pollution
USHA JESUDASAN
Walk down any city street or village road, turn any corner, find a spot at the beach or in a park and you will find mounds and mounds of dirty plastic bags, food wrappings, plastic cups, bottles and cartons lie piled high, or blocking drainage systems and sewers. The road outside our house is littered with flimsy multi-coloured plastic bags. The wind blows these bags into the open gutter. The bags collect and block the gutter which then spills on to the road. Mosquitoes thrive in the stagnant water. Pigs and rats wallow in the slime, carrying disease. The place stinks and the air is polluted. The garbage men refuse to clean the gutters... they are only paid to clear the litter off the streets! So the clutter and slime increases every week.
Who is responsible for all this litter and mess and the polluted atmosphere? We are of course! Every one of us. Although each one of us contributes to the problem, none of us is willing to be part of the solution to it. So the Tamil Nadu Government is keen on taking a drastic step to curb the use of plastics and make the roads clean and environmentally safe. The governments desire to introduce a bill that would ban plastic bags and other plastic items is a desperate attempt to control the huge environmental and health hazards that face us today。
