In recent years, the mass media have been reporting so much on environmental issues, attracting a great deal of attention from the public. In Vietnam, the most recent representative event is the mass death of fish from Ha Tinh province to Quang Tri province, causing huge damage to the government till hundreds of billion Dong, affecting the lives of inhabitants here. Not only Vietnam, some other countries in the region and in the world also suffer from severe environmental pollution. For example, in Beijing, China, the amount of air pollution is in excess of the permitted level, most the people here have to live with respiratory diseases. To overcome this current issue, the governments of many governments have different measures to minimize the amount of pollution emitted to the environment. Many activities have been encouraged such as recycling, reusing, reforestation, waste collection, using alternative energy, and so on. There have been a number of global campaigns to raise awareness of citizens like the Earth Hour with slogans, posters such as 'Protect our Earth', 'Green Environment', etc. In Vietnam, the government has also passed many laws fining heavily the organizations and individuals. Step by step, we are trying our best to protect the environment, turning the Earth into a wonderful place to live. Hope that in the future, environmental pollution will no longer be a concern.

BÀI LÀM:

I like living in the city because I enjoy the hectic pace of life and the hustle and bustle of city life. City is a place where life has become modern and comfortable and also mechanised. It has all the amenities. There are many entertainment centers, parks, zoos and cinemas...Life is full of activities in a big city. A big city is a centre of all types of education. It is a centre of trade, medical facilities, business and recreation. The population increases during the daytime. People staying the nearby villages and towns come to the city on different errands.However, the city is often blocked by traffic. the city could, therefore, be described as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is enacted every day. Thank for your listening.
