Now I’m going to give a talk about pollution. It has become a serious global problem recently.
* In my opinion, nowadays people are getting worried about air and water pollution, because they are vital resources. No one can live without water and air. Both are invaluable. And the more polluted they are, the more people get sick and die. It’s quite clear and dangerous at the same time.
* It doesn’t take a scientist to understand that consequences of water pollution will be bad. It will lead to a number of diseases first. Secondly, it results in biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and destruction of plants and wildlife. Thirdly, human beings will end up dying out quickly and completely. That kind of thing.
* In my opinion, if people want to live on the Earth, they have to must join forces and change the work of all types of industry. It is the main source of water and air pollution. People may have to give up borders of all countries to use resources efficiently. Something like that.
* Honestly speaking, my attitude to the environmental pollution is very serious. I see air and water pollution continue and even increase in scale. I believe that laws must be passed and governments must severely punish factories for environmental pollution and harm to the environment.
That’s all I wanted to tell you about environmental pollution.

You have to talk continuously.
Now I’m going to give a talk about protection of the environment.
* To begin with, ecology is about biology and the relationships of organisms with their environment and each other. In plain English it might mean how people, animals, plants, water, and land influence each other. Also, how they depend on each other. In fact, it’s not as easy as it seems to be. Many ecologists and scientists make research to help people become aware and take care of our planet. That kind of thing.
* In my personal opinion, it is people who pollutes the nature. Industrial factories produce a lot of poisonous waste. We don’t recycle a lot of plastic and other trash. A lot of harmful things spoil water. Deforestation affects animals and soil. Transport vehicles produce exhaust gases. That all polluted the nature and threatens or future.
* As far as I know, the main ecological problems are climate change, environmental degradation, and resource depletion, pollution, global warming, overpopulation, waste disposal, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, public health issues. And the list is constantly expanding.
* My attitude to protecting nature is very strong. I advocate for it actively. It is not enough, though. I see factories go on polluting air and water and no one can stop it. I think we have to pass very strict laws against them and begin to think about «green economics’.
That’s all I wanted to tell you about protection of the environment.
