solve environmental problems. Others, however, believe technology is the way
to solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
ANSWER
It is true that certain advances in
technology have had negative impacts
on the environment. While there are
strong arguments that some
environmental problems should be
tackled by adopting simpler lifestyles, I
believe that the solutions lie in
technologies that have been and are
being developed.

On the one hand, enjoying life with
less sophisticated technology means
that people inflict less damage on the
ecosystems on which all living things
depend. [1] Firstly, people consume
energy through overuse of devices such
as air-conditioning, water heaters and
the private car. If they decrease their
energy consumption, thiswill reduce

the emission of greenhouse gases, but
this will certainly involve leading
simpler lives. [2] Secondly, organic
farmers do not pollute the water or the
soil which results from the application
of
chemical
fertilisers
and
weedkillers.
They encourage a
diversity of plants and wildlife on their
farms.

sophisticated technology: technology
that is clever and complicated in the
way that it functions.

inflict damage on: make something,
such as the environment, suffer
something harmful.

ecosystems: all the plants and animals
living in various areas, considered in
relation to their environment.

the emission of greenhouse gases: the
release into the air of gases which
cause the temperature of the earth to
rise.

chemical
fertilisers:
chemical
substances added to the soil to make
plants grow.

weedkillers: chemical substances that
are used to destroy wild plants,
especially among farm crops.

On the other hand, I agree with those
who
argue
that
technological
achievements play a pivotal role in
environmental protection.
[1] One
reason is that the use of renewable
energy sources is already starting to
grow. This raises the prospect of
decreasing dependence on fossil fuels,
cleaner air and the reversal of the trend
of global warming. Countries such as
Japan are leading the way, for example,

in developing more eco-friendly cars,
buses and lorries. [2] Another reason
is that cleaner technologies, such as
wastetreatment, are being introduced
into many industries, and technology is
enabling plastics and other products to
be recycled.

In conclusion, although living simpler
lives can certainly help in tackling
environmental problems, it seems to
me that advances in technology are
already providing many solutions and
this trend will gather pace in the future.

play a pivotal role: a role which is
very important, because other things
depend on it.

renewable energy sources: sources of
energy which are replaced naturally,
such as power from the sun or the
wind.

dependence on fossil fuels: fuels such
as coal or oil, that were formed over
million of years from the remains of
animals or plants, on which some
countries rely for much of their energy

production.

global warming: the increase in the
temperature of the earth, caused by the
increase of greenhouse gases.

eco-friendly:
environment.

3. (15/10/2017): There have been many inventions in the human history, such
as the wheel. Some people think the most important thing is the internet. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

course of human history.

perhaps the most significant of these is person to another

that the internet is the most important use any more, having been replaced by

Essay:

The greatest impact of the internet is
the instant transmission of knowledge
that it has made possible. As a result,
the old ways of studying and working
have been made obsolete. Whereas
the wheel was a technological
breakthrough
in
transforming
transport, the internet has allowed
people to pass on information and
ideas across the world. In education,

computer literacy enables young
people to access the internet, and the
virtual classroom is becoming a
reality, with the college intranet and
the use of the internet to deliver
lectures. The internet has also
revolutionised
communication
in
business, with the growth of ecommerce and online shopping.
Enterprises increasingly communicate
with staff and clients through video
conferencing.

a technological breakthrough: an
important new discovery in technology
to pass on: to give someone something
that someone else has given you
computer literacy: the ability to use a
computer well
to access the internet : to have the
opportunity to use the internet
a virtual classroom: an online
classroom in which participants can
communicate and interact with other
students, view videos and actively
engage with the study materials
the college intranet : a network of
computers within a college that can
only be accessed by the staff and

students to set and mark work, enter
into contact etc.
to deliver a lecture : to give a lecture

A second significant breakthrough for
which the internet is responsible is in
transforming the way that people
communicate in their social lives. One
obvious example, of course, is the
phenomenal growth in popularity of
social networking sites. There are
currently about 2 billion active users of
Facebook, and such sites are still in
their infancy. Thanks to the internet,
more and more people are able to share
what their friends and family are doing,
and they can keep abreast of the news
about what is happening in the world
from many sources. Governments find
it difficult to control and censor the
content of what is posted on the
internet.

e-commerce: buying and selling
products or services using the internet

online shopping: shopping
connected to the internet

while

video conferencing : to see and
discuss with people in different
locations using the Internet.
breakthrough (noun): an important
development that may lead to an
agreement of achievement.
phenomenal (adjective): extremely
successful or special, especially in a
surprising way

social networking sites: a website on
In conclusion, as nothing is more which you communicate with people
fundamental than sharing knowledge, I who share your interests
would argue that the internet is the
greatest of all inventions to date.
to be in its infancy : to be in the early
development of something

to keep abreast of something: to have
the most recent information about
something
to censor (verb): to remove something
from a book, film or news report
considered to be offensive or a political
threat
