[lead-in] It is evident that pollution has become a pressing concern in recent times. 

[explain] The rapid industrialization, increased vehicular emissions, and growing population have contributed to a noticeable rise in pollution levels. [extend] the extensive use of fossil fuels and the improper disposal of waste have compounded the issue => more pollution than in the past

• become a pressing concern: trở thành vấn đề cấp bách
• the rapid industrialization: công nghiệp hóa nhanh chóng

[lead-in] I think that to effectively reduce air pollution, concerted efforts are required at various levels. 

[explain]  Firstly, transitioning to cleaner and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, can significantly curb air pollution // promoting sustainable transportation should also help in reducing the air pollution levels 

=> [methods] push the use of public transport // adopting electric vehicles // The government can also implement strict emission standards for industries and encouraging the adopt green technologies to cope with environmental pollution

• curb air pollution: giảm ô nhiễm không khí
• implement strict emission standards: thiết lập tiêu chuẩn khí thải nghiêm ngặt
• cope with something: đối phó với

3. Why should the government be involved in environmental protection?

[lead-in] The government plays a pivotal role in environmental protection due to its authority, resources, and ability to implement policies and regulations. 

[explain] Individuals alone cannot solve all environmental issues, such as pollution and climate change, => these problems require collective efforts

=> The government should side with the public in alleviating pollution // government's involvement is crucial in setting and enforcing environmental standards // promoting sustainable practices // investing in clean technologies // the authority can raise awareness, allocate funds for research and development, and facilitate international cooperation to tackle environmental challenges effectively.

• plays a pivotal role: đóng vai trò then chốt
• ability to implement policies and regulations: khả năng thực thi chính sách và quy định
• require collective efforts: đòi hỏi những nỗ lực tập thể

• it's not rocket science: việc gì đó không hề phức tạp, rất dễ hiểu, dễ làm
• carpooling: là hoạt động mà một nhóm người đi chung một phương tiện giao thông (thường là xe ô tô)

5. What can factories and power plants do to reduce pollutants?

[lead-in] Factories and power plants have a responsibility to minimize their environmental impact. They can implement various measures to reduce pollutants effectively. 

[methods] Factories can employ advanced emission control technologies, such as scrubbers and filters, to help capture and remove harmful pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere //  Invest in cleaner production processes // optimizing energy efficiency // using renewable energy sources // Regular maintenance of equipment and proper waste management are essential for factories and power plants to reduce pollutants.

• power plants: Nhà máy điện
• scrubbers and filters: thiết bị kiểm soát ô nhiễm không khí và máy lọc

6. Do you think companies have been forced to reduce pollutants?

[lead-in] In recent years, there has been increasing pressure on companies to reduce pollutants and adopt more environmentally friendly practices. 

[explain] Public awareness about the detrimental effects of pollution has prompted businesses to employ more sustainable and socially responsible business practices // governments and regulatory bodies have implemented stricter environmental regulations

[examples] penalties and fines for non-compliance => force companies to be more environmentally responsible // The need to maintain a positive brand image and meet consumer expectations => companies prioritize pollution reduction and invest in cleaner technologies

• penalties and fines for non-compliance: hình phạt và tiền phạt cho việc vi phạm quy định

7. Do you think the wind has any effect on pollution? How?

[lead-in] Yes, wind plays a significant role in the dispersion of pollutants. 

[explain]  Wind can carry pollutants over long distances // spread beyond the original source of emission // It can disperse pollutants all over the place => reducing local concentrations => very beneficial especially in the cities >< However, depending on wind patterns, it can also transport pollutants from one area to another => potentially causing pollution in previously unaffected regions. 

[conclude]  Understanding wind patterns and their influence on pollution is essential for effective pollution control and addressing cross-boundary pollution issues.

• the dispersion of pollutants: sự phân tán các chất ô nhiễm
• address cross-boundary pollution issues: giải quyết các vấn đề ô nhiễm vượt biên
