Topic 1: Pollution and How to Protect the Environment
Pollution is a big problem in the world today. It makes our air, water, and land dirty. There
are many types of pollution such as air pollution from cars and factories, and water
pollution from trash in rivers and oceans. To protect the environment, we should recycle,
throw garbage in bins, and plant trees. Everyone can help to keep the planet clean and safe.
Topic 2: Recommendations to Protect the Environment
There are many things we can do to protect the environment. First, we should stop
throwing trash on the ground and use recycling bins. People should also use public
transport instead of cars to reduce air pollution. We must save water by turning off the tap
when not in use. Another good idea is to plant more trees and use less plastic. If we all work
together, we can protect our planet.
Using Linking Words: because, as, so
These words help us explain reasons or results in our writing. Here are examples:
• People should recycle more because it helps reduce pollution.
• As trees clean the air, we must plant more of them.
• Factories should use filters, so the air becomes cleaner.
