“`html✅ PART 1 – Introduction & General Questions
Do you think pollution is a serious problem in your country?
Yes, it’s definitely a serious issue. In big cities, air pollution is getting worse because of traffic and industrial activities. Even in smaller towns, waste management is still a challenge.
What types of pollution are most common where you live?
The most common type is air pollution from motorbikes and cars. Besides that, noise pollution is also noticeable due to construction and crowded streets.
Have you ever done anything to reduce pollution personally?
Yes. I often use reusable bags, limit single-use plastic, and sometimes cycle or walk instead of using a motorbike. They’re small actions, but I think they still help.
✅ PART 2 – Cue Card (1–2 minutes speaking)
Describe a pollution problem in your area. You should say:
• What type of pollution it is
• How it affects people

• And explain what you think should be done to solve it
• What type of pollution it is
• How it affects people
• What causes it
• And explain what you think should be done to solve it
One major pollution problem in my city is air pollution, especially in the downtown area. The air quality is often poor, and you can actually see the smog during peak hours. It affects people’s health — many residents suffer from respiratory issues like coughing, allergies, and even asthma. The main cause is traffic congestion. There are millions of motorbikes and cars on the road every day, and many of them use old engines that produce a lot of emissions. Factories near the city also contribute by releasing smoke and chemicals into the air. To solve this issue, I think the government should improve public transportation and encourage people to use it. They could also introduce stricter emission standards and promote electric vehicles. Planting more trees and creating green spaces would also make a difference.
✅ PART 3 – Discussion Questions
What can governments do to reduce pollution effectively?
Governments can enforce stricter environmental laws, invest in public transportation, and encourage the use of clean energy. They can also educate the public and ban products that cause harm, like single-use plastics.
Do you think individuals or governments have a bigger responsibility to protect the environment?
I believe both play important roles. Governments can create laws and policies, but individuals must change their habits. Without cooperation, no solution will be effective.
How will pollution affect future generations?
If we don’t take action, future generations may face serious health problems and a lower quality of life. Natural resources could be damaged, and climate change will become even more severe.
