Environment

Describe how you can improve quality of life in a big city?

¹I would like to tell you about environment and, particularly, about how I can improve quality of life in a big city.

²It`s not a secret that our environment has changed lately. <sup>3</sup>According to the report of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), our planet is running out of time. <sup>4</sup>Researchers argue that modern man has abused it so much that by 2050 we`ll have used up all of its resources, and our forests and fresh water supplies will vanish.

⁵ To begin with, I realize nowadays we have a lot of dangerous environmental problems connected with air and water pollution, global warming, climate changes, etc. ⁶One report, based on scientific data from across the world, shows that more than one third of the natural world has been destroyed by humans over the past 3 decades.

⁷I`d like to emphasize, everyone understands now that the nature doesn`t forgive such mistakes. ⁸Moreover, there is a system called «ecological footprints», that helps to measure how much each country is responsible for the destruction of the planet. ⁹Each country’s footprint is calculated by looking at how much it consumes of the Earth’s resources and how much it pollutes the atmosphere in a year. ¹⁰Unsurprisingly, at the top of the list are developed American, European and Asian countries. ¹¹And African countries are at the bottom.

¹²It`s of great interest that the idea of a « smart city » is really popular nowadays. <sup>13</sup>And psychologists are teaming up with designers to build such cities. <sup>14</sup>For example, it`s very important to make pedestrians more aware of their surroundings and less likely to become victims of crime.

¹⁵So, people should build cities where there are a lot of nature, trees, greenery and a few cars. ¹⁶It should be noted that in such conditions mood improves and working capacity rises. ¹⁷However, it should be noted that nowadays it`s very difficult to get a job. ¹⁸There is a very high level of unemployment.

¹⁹And looking for a job is a long and stressful process. ²⁰First of all, we start looking for a job by advertisements. ²¹And when we find a job, we send a covering letter and a curriculum vitae to a company.

²²Then you need to pass a job interview. (Из текста « How to get a job », предложения 26 – 50).47

⁴⁸So, I believe building a smart city is the best way to improve quality of life in a big city. ⁴⁹I`d like to add that the smart city influences a personal development in a great way. <sup>50</sup>It`s clear: the smarter the city – the richer the personality. ⁵¹For example, in such city you can become assertive, hardworking, calm, even-tempered, cheerful etc.

 ⁵²To sum up, I believe we should protect our environment in order not to die out ourselves and save the Earth because it`s our home.

Talking about a personality, I`d like to emphasize that we should develop our personality constantly. Particularly, it`s very useful to learn new languages. (Текст про languages – языки умирают, как можно изучать, обстоятельства которые помогают и мешают, про учителя, texting).

Talking about a personality, I`d like to emphasize that we should develop our personality constantly. Particularly, it`s very important to get education, because, certainly, it expands our horizon. In this connection we should mention Maria Montessori, a famous Italian educationalist, whose method of teaching has influenced people all over the world. ( Т екст про Монтессори – предложения 10 – 24).

I`d like to emphasize that human progress is possible only through education. ( Текст про высшее образование и lifelong learning – с 25 предложения и до конца).
