      Climate change is the major issue in our country. Because of this problem, we don't get adequate rainfall for a couple of years, so that our country is suffering from water scarcity in many states. If this situation continues, our people will die out soon. I'm extremely worried 😣

    In my country the farming isn't fully mechanised.the smaller farmers still grow food using traditional methods. But the livestock farming is fully mechanized. I think it's worth paying extra to eat organic food to encourage the traditional farming methods as well as it's healthy to eat organic food. As the food has great impact on our health so it's important to know how it is produced so that we can choose healthy food and avoid it's negative affects on our health.

    I'm from Vietnam, which is a developing country so farms are mostly smaller and use more traditional methods. However, the government is making effort to minimize that by importing machinery from other countries to modernize agriculture.
    In my opinion, it's not worth paying extra to eat organic food. According to a report I read recently, some unsubstantiated reports claimed that only conventionally grown food could apply enough nutrition for consumers and they are superior to synthetic one, which was not determined by any scientists, so some people took advantage of that to raise the price of organic food to force comsumers to pay more extra.
    That I should know how my food is produced is important because that can helps me to have the best choice for choosing, so i'm I have more knowledge about kinds of food I'm eating and can protect myself from illness.

      Thanks for sharing your response, Ngoc! Nicely written. Here are a couple suggestions for your writing:
      1) '...making an effort to...' not, 'making effort'.
      2) '...and they are superior to synthetic ones,' or, '...to synthetic food,' not, 'one'.
      3) '...consumers to pay extra,' or, 'to pay more', not, 'more extra'.
      Hope this feedback is helpful!

    I am very lucky to live in an area with a great air quality. There are lots of green trees providing shade surrounded my hometown, and that’s why people in my neighborhood spend more time exercising every morning to enjoy the fresh air. The local government makes it illegal to throw out garbage on the street and put many public bins to raise local people's awareness about environmental issues. In addition, there aren’t any industrial zones so the environment is less polluted. Local people have a bin in their house and they usually put many kinds of waste in it. Unfortunately, people don't have a habit of sorting the waste into recyclables and non-recyclables. At the weekend, all of the rubbish will be collected by trash collectors and gone into landfill nearby. To keep the environment clean, local people are encouraged to grow food organically without using pesticides or herbicides.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1

      2) '...providing shade surrounding my hometown,' not, 'surrounded'.
      3) '...will be collected by trash collectors and sent to a landfill nearby...' is a bit better than, '...will be collected by trash collectors and gone into landfill nearby...'

    Thank you,both for introducing important topic which is terrible to our Environment whether globally or nationally.I think to deal with climate change is reforestation and afforestation. It plays significant role to bind the soil and minimize sea level rise. Using artificial fertilizer for sufficient food rather than using natural manure also affects the land after long time the soil be come infertile and this leads desert.

    I feel so sad that in my country, Vietnam, people don’t sort garbage, and our government talks about environmental protection frequently but they do nothing. So I don’t see anything that would be better in short term. I visited the Philippines (also a developing country like Vietnam) and other countries, I saw that they have already sorted their garbage for a long time. It’s really good thing in their country.

    When I was in Finland , I was surprised that there’s sort packaging waste. I think it’s so important to protect environment from garbage also it’s environmental friendly. Because recycling garbage should divide from non recycling garbage. Unfortunately in my country there isn’t bin with different collar for rubbish. We have only in city center. Non recycling waste will Destroy or with a year they disappear themselves.

    In my country there are both big mechanized farms and small farms, but in my opinion they are mostly smaller using more traditional methods. I think it is worth paying extra to eat organic food, because it is necessary for our health and much more environmentally friendly. Of course, it is important to know how our food is produced , because it effects on the quality of our life.

    I live in countryside in the north of Chittagong town. Air Quality is really good in local place but in Chittagong town is extremely bad. Air quality is degrading day by day due to congested diesel driving vehicle, factory garbage, and much more wasted of food.Besides these we are demolishing forest and cutting trees much more than planting trees. National government has taken many steps to improve air quality. Some steps are such as implementing afforestation program, imposing restrictions on driving in the city area etc

  • @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104

    Thank you very much for this helpful and supportive information.
    This is my answer.
    1) Recently, the air quality is fresh and clear in a large city. In the past, it used to be terrible, it was hazy as well as full of dust from construction.
    2) As far as I know, the local government provides several solutions. Firstly, there is a restriction on driving that uses fossil fuel and harmful gas. The encouragement in using bikes, skateboard and scooters are used. More organizations are made to maintain the atmosphere.
    3)From my point of view, walking should be taken into action. As I said earlier. Bicycles should be used wisely to avoid traffic jams as well as carbon emissions.

    • @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104
      @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104 Před rokem

      4) In my country, I usually sort of garbage during the morning, I mostly sort of them into different box as well as color, if they are liquid. I will put them into plastic bag and put them in boxs.
      5) As far as I know, fossil fuel, organic waste and plastic waste is well-known in my country as they are widely used by major Asian.
      6) Being unable to be recycled, People mostly throw them into a giant hole in the ground the the waste area located in the city centre.

    • @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104
      @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104 Před rokem

      7) From my point of view, many farms in the Southern part of the country have become modernized and international. They mostly use big and fast machines to do.
      8) I would say that As long as they're healthy and fresh. I don't mind paying them.
      9) Yes, definitely. We need to know the main source of product if they are clean, natural or not. Because, if we go on eating food from an unknown origin. We may have several illnesses without regret

    • @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104
      @tranquanganhthuanfgwhcm5104 Před rokem

      10) I would say yes as people nowadays don't actually care about this issue although there is a warning sign from scientists that flooding and rising sea levels will occur in a mountainous area.
      11) I Believe that my country will be seriously affected by flooding, high rate of intensity of storm surges, and damage to coastal areas. We won't be able to live happily and soon we will equally extinct
      12) The first thing that we need to head on is renewable and alternative fuels instead of using fossil, coal, and gas. Solar energy, wind power, Hydropower and Bioenergy is highly recommended.
      It is compulsory to avoid using plastic products as much as possible. Instead, I suggest using natural and recycled products from banana leaves, paper, and sugarcane waste.

    In my hometown there is no formal way of sorting out the garbage. The trash is simply thrown on the ground and garbage pickers which are mostly young children collect the trash. This trash then sold to the scrap dealers who sort the organic and inorganic waste .in my hometown we can recycle the few things, like glass and plastics etc. While the non recyclable waste is left to rot in landfills or dumps.

      Nice answer! Here are a few suggestions for you:
      1) '...pickers, who are mostly young children, collect the trash,' not, '...pickers which are mostly young children collect the trash'.
      2) 'This trash is then sold to...' not, 'This trash then sold to...'.
      3) '...we can recycle a few things,' not, 'the few'.

    Part 1:
    Generally, I'd say the air quality is not that good because it can still get hazy in winter. But it's much better thaN it was a decade ago. At that time, you'd get thick smog covering the whole city all the year round.
    The improvement was achieved by the efforts of the government. They brought in new laws and regulations, restricted the volume of vehicles in the city center, invested more in public transport infrastructure, and moved a lot of heavy industry away from the city.
    As far as I'm concerned, vehicle emission is one of the major causes of air pollution, therefore to combat air pollution it is fundamental to reduce the reliance on private cars by using more public transport and replace gasoline-fueled vehicles with zero emission automobiles such as electric ones.
    Part 4:
    For sure, I think it's indeed a big concern, because climate change can lead to a number of environmental issues such as rising sea levels, regional changes in rainfall patterns, and disruption to THE ecosystem. For example, some regions may experience more rain and snowfall, while others may suffer from more frequent droughts and wildfires. These in turn could reduce crop yields and harm food security.
    I can imagine my country WILL have more frequent floods and even loss of some land in the coastline if rising sea levels continue.
    Global warming is primarily caused by an increase of fossil fuel burning. Therefore it is essential to reduce carbon emission by using more clean energy such as solar energy, and replacing gasoline-fueled cars with electric ones. One top of that, forest preservation and reforestation programs, which can increase the natural capacity of carbon absorption, would also play an important role in combating this issue.

    Air quality is really terrible in my city. As it is an industrialists city and mostly companies depends upon wood and coal fires for heating. So the air is hazy as well as smog in winter's.
    The local government has taken good initiative by moving industries away from the city .moreover the educational institutes has also been moved outside the city to reduce the traffic pollution. National government should formulate the enviornmental policies to cope with the problem and i believe the most important thing is to plant more trees and prevent deforestation to improve the air quality.

    The air in Hue city is a little bit bad. The local government advises citizens to stop burning rubbish and use publish vehicles. Changing pepole's consciousness is the best way to reduce air pollution. We sort garbage into two bins: food and recyclable garbage such as paper, plastic, wood... Non-recyclable waste will be transformered to rubbish factories to tackle.
    Farms are mostly small and using more traditional methods. I think ew should pay extra to use organic food because it's good for our health and avoiding harmful things to health in the future. It's important to know how our food is produced because we can know what kind of herbicides and pesticides farmers used and how long they were harvested particularly vegetables. Global warming is a big matter of the whole world since it causes lots of disasters over the past decede. It causes floods in rainy seasons and drought in summer and even the weather gets cooler in winter. The best way to deal with climate change is reducing carbon emission and recovering forests in over the world.

    From my point of view the air quality in my country is so terrible. Because my country is situated the mountainous area in the south of the country and polluted air is not ventilated. Every year the air quality is getting worse. The main source of population in my country comes from the exhaust from vehicles, the emission from coal-fired power plants, the dust caused by the construction industry and urban planning. I’m not expert about government low related environment. But I think there are many low to regulation air quality but I’m not sure it’s work in practice. In my opinion the government should brought in new law and regulations and it’s should controlled in everyday life. In this lesson I like 3 ideas for reduce air population: restriction of driving of the city center, made it illegal to use wood or coal-fires for heating and moved a lot of heavy industry away from the city.

    2.If the sea levels rose significantly, some of the residents who live near the coastline, will be affected. The government need to put a lot of money to help the people and to take precautions for the next time.
