Describe a place you visited that has been affected by pollution

You should say:

• Where it is

• When you visited this place

• What kinds of pollution you saw there And explain how this place was affected

IELTS Speaking sample:  

Well, if I have to talk about a polluted place I’ve been to, it would be Ho Chi Minh City. It’s located in the Southern part of Vietnam.

I’ve been living here for around 2 years. When I first came here, I was so surprised how polluted the city is. It’s so different from my hometown which is a green and clean rural area. There are many kinds of pollution here: air pollution, water pollution and even noise pollution. There are so many vehicles on the streets and they make noises and emit fumes all the time. It was especially terrible travelling on the street during peak hours. Besides, it’s easy to see trash in rivers and lakes because some people just throw their waste into these community water sources without any awareness of the damage to the surrounding environment. It’s even worse that some factories also dump dirty water and other waste directly into rivers so many of them are black and smelly. I think the pollution affects people’s lives in a negative way.

Air pollution can cause serious respiratory diseases such as asthma or lung cancer. Water is polluted so people may face water scarcity in the future and the noise can drive people crazy because it’s really annoying and distracting. Many animals living in water are also affected, too. They are losing their habitats or food source since the water is contaminated. Some of them may become extinct if we do not take action now. I hope the government will have some kinds of campaigns or TV shows to raise people’s awareness of protecting the environment and plant more trees in the city to improve air quality.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample

Why do people throw waste material on roads?

Gợi ý: a waste of time (lãng phí thời gian), trash bin (thùng rác), street cleaner (lao công), personal properties (tài sản cá nhân)

Simply because they don’t care. Those people have no idea about keeping streets clean or protecting the environment. They may think that it is a waste of time to find a trash bin while they can just throw the garbage on roads and someone such as a street cleaner will collect the waste later on. Besides, people might think that roads are not their personal properties so it’s not their responsibility to keep it clean.

How can the government encourage people to keep their city clean?

Gợi ý: trash bin (thùng rác), raise public awareness (tăng ý thức cộng đồng)

Personally, I believe that the most important thing is to keep trash bins at all public places and at a proper distance on roads. The government should make sure that it would not take people too much time to find a trash bin so that it can be convenient for them to throw trash in the right place. Besides, the government should spend more money on raising public awareness of the importance of having a clean environment. They should give some examples of illnesses that people may suffer from if their surroundings are dirty.

Do you think it is a good idea or bad idea to relocate factories far from cities?

Gợi ý: crowded (đông đúc), overpopulation (sự đông dân quá mức), more or less (hầu như, hầu hết), living standard (chất lượng cuộc sống)

Well, I think it would be amazing. You know, cities are so crowded already so if many factories are established here, the problem of pollution and overpopulation will become worse. Instead, if more factories are moved to rural areas, these problems will be more or less solved. Besides, living costs in small towns are much lower than in big cities so the life standard of factory workers will be improved. They can even save more money. So it is undoubtedly a great idea.
