Topic English 8- Ki II
1. Tell about types of pollution
Nowadays There are a lot of types of pollution such as air pollution, water
pollution, visual pollution .. and noise pollution. Noise pollution is constant
and loud sound. To measure the loudness, or volume of sounds, people use a
unit called a decibel.When a sound is louder than 70 decibels, it can cause
noise pollution. Do you know that the noise from a vacuum cleaner or
motorcycle can result in permanent hearing loss after eight hours? The
sounds of a concert are even more serious. Noise pollution can also lead to
headaches and high blood pressure. If you are listening to music through
headphones, aand other people can hear it, it means the music is too loud
and unsafe
2. Talk about causes and affects of water pollution
Nowadays There are several types of pollution. However, water pollution is
one of the most serious in our area. It is caused by several factors. Firstly,
families dump sewage into the river. In the past it was a very beautiful river,
but now the water is most back. Secondly, there are two new factories in our
area, and they are dumping chemical waste into the lake and river. Thirdly,
pesticides are another source of pollution. Farmers in our area usually use
these to kill insects.
Water pollution badly affects our area. We do not have enough fresh water to
water the plants and crops. People can not raise fish in the river and the lake
because the water there is so polluted. In addition, there are no more wild
ducks near the river today since they can not find fish for food. Another
negative effect is that sometimes in the afternoon there is a bad smell from
the polluted river, so people do not like walking along it anymore.
People in our area are all aware of this problem, and we are thinking of some
ways to solve it.
3. Talk about an English speaking country.
Nowadays English is an important role in our life, so there are many English
speaking countries in the world. Scotland is one of English speaking country
Scotland is in the north of Great Britain. It is famous for its rich culture as
well as its amazing natural beauty. Visitors to this land can spend endless
days exploring its historic centuries-old castles. But be aware - legend says
that some of them are haunted by ghosts. Fun-lovers can experience its
world-famous festival, the Highland Games where they can enjoy unique
Scottish activities such as the piping, drumming, and dancing. They can also
see traditional sports, or drink whisky with the local people. Driving through
vast green pastures, or boating on scenic lakes - or lochs - are other
attractions that Scotland offers.
4. Can you talk about types of natural disasters and preparations for
natural disasters?
Today, there are more and more natural disasters that most people affect. In
my opinion, we can not prevent natural disaster but we can have some
preparation for them. There are many types of natural disasters but typhoon
is a popular in our country. Firstly, typhoon is a tropical storm with wind and
heavy rain. When it strike, it can weak havoc across large areas and effect lot
of life or extensive damage to property. Flood can be happened by long
heavy rain and people also can be became homeless. Last year lots of people
were seriously in jure in a typhoon. Natural disasters are also very dangerous
but we also have some simple preparation, The first step is learnt about the
rist in your area and read the information about natural disasters on
government site. Next, find out that the rescue and emergency workers
advice. Its also important that you put together emergency supply it and
should include food, water, medicine , document and some mony. Finally,
plan safe places to meet your family and get to know the evacuation routes
and shelter.
In short, everyone should protect environment to reduce this natural
disasters
5. Can you talk about ways of communication, what is communication
in the future?
Communication is a necessary for everyone. In present, there are three basic
forms of communication: verball, non- verball and multimedia.
First, verball( meeting F2F) is a important way of communication help you
success. I like hanging out with my friends and when I meet F2F with them I
feel very confident. It explains why I can speak English easily. Lets try! You
will have a great time.Secondly, it you have a different thing to say non-
verball ( using signs) will be a good choice. For example you make your
mother sad you can use a sign to say sorry to her. Thirdly, with develop of
science and technology, many multimedia appear such as: video chatting,
emailing You can know more information despite you still stay at home
but in the future, we can use telepathy or holography. Telepathy uses a tiny
device place into our head. We will be communicating just by thought over
the network. Holography will help us in our work. Even though, I prefer to
chat with my friend- life is more meaningful that way!
6. Can you talk about about advantages and disadvantages of smart
phones?
Nowsdays, smart phone becomes popular and useful in our morden life. It
has many benefits in our daily life. Most of people believed that is not
harmful to users. In my opinion, Smart phone has advantages and
disadvantages
One of the main advantages of smart phone is that it is fast and convenient
way to communication with others. We can make a call anywhere at
anytime. For example: if we have relative or friends that live abroad, we can
call them easily in just a minute. Another funtion of smart phone is that we
can send messages. Moreover, we can use it as a computer to surf on the
internet. It helps us relax after a hard working day. For example: for me I
usually listen to music and read read information on the internet befor going
to bed.
On the other hand, smart phone has diadvantages. Users spend too much
time on it to play games, watch movies especially children. It is very
harmful to our health, even cances because of radiowaves. According to a
recent research about 5 percent of men have no children because of using
smart phone
In conclusion, smarphone is a useful equipment and convenient but it makes
some negative effects to users like time- consuming and harmful to our
health
7. Can you talk about life on other planets?
There are no scientists to find on other planets but my fantasy story can
become real in the future. In 2250 people will be finding life on Neptune-
the eight planet in the Solar System. In this planet, the climate is very cold
so only aliens can live in here. The winds are very strong and everything is
freezing, so they dont have water. To be able to survice here, they also have
build their cities.
In underground, a hundred kilometers beneath the surface. Everday they
need only three hours for sleep. Four hours to work and the reat of the day,
they spend on their leisure activity. Most of them like tavelling to new cities
For new experiment. They are small but very fast to fly.
What a great planet! What about? Lets share with your idea to everyone.
8. Talk about causes of visual pollution
Visual pollution can happen outside or inside your house. When you are in
the street, do you look around and see too many telephone poles, overhead
power lines, or advertising billboards?
This is known as a negative visual environment, and it causes visual
pollution. For many communities, visual pollution also includes uncut
weeds, graffiti, litter, and even badly cared-for buildings. This kind of
pollution can be present in your house, too. If you dump clothes or school
things on the floor, it causes visual pollution. A room with too much
furniture placed in an untidy way is another example of visual pollution in
the house.You may not know that when you go out without wearing
appropriate clothing, you can also cause this type of pollution.
