Read the online petitions and decide if you support the ideas. Then work with a partner and explain why you agree or disagree with each.
(Đọc các kiến nghị trực tuyến và quyết định xem bạn có ủng hộ các ý kiến đó hay không. Sau đó làm việc với một người bạn và giải thích lý do tại sao bạn đồng ý hoặc không đồng ý với từng cái.)
Gợi ý đáp án
I agree with all the ideas.
- I agree with the petition “Say NO to orca shows”.
Because keeping orcas in small tanks and training them to perform tricks is cruel and inhumane. Moreover, they are highly intelligent and social animals that require a large and complex environment to thrive.
- I agree with the petition “SAVE sea turtles on CON DAO island”.
Because sea turtles play an important ecological role in marine ecosystems, they are valuable and endangered species that deserve protection. Commercial hunting and pollution are serious threats to sea turtle populations and their natural habitat.
- I agree with the petition “We love ugly fruit!”.
Because I believe that food waste contributes to environmental and social issues. Rejecting imperfect fruits and vegetables is wasteful, meanwhile, selling ugly produce at a lower price can reduce food waste and make healthy food more accessible to low-income households.

Dear Principal,
I am writing to request a change to an environmental problem that I have noticed in our school. I have observed that there is a significant amount of plastic waste that is generated daily, especially during lunch breaks, which is not being managed properly.
As we know, plastic is a major environmental issue, which takes hundreds of years to decompose. The fact that students discharge too much plastic waste not only harms the environment, adversely affects health, but also deteriorates the school landscape.
I believe that our school can take several steps to reduce plastic waste. Firstly, we could campaign to raise awareness about the negative impacts of plastic waste and encourage students to bring their own reusable water bottles instead of using plastic bottles. Secondly, we could introduce a recycling program in the school, where we classify the plastic waste and recycle it. This would reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Finally, I would like to propose that the school takes action by providing reusable water bottles to every student and installing recycling bins in the school compound. By taking action, I believe that we can address the plastic waste problem in our school and make a positive impact on the world we live in.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I lo
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
