I. Global problems
Вступление
People have lived on our planet for thousands of years and global problems have always existed.
Основная часть
Today there are a lot of global problems which can be divide into two categories
Among ecological problems water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, deforestation (cutting down trees), nuclear pollution are the most important ones. The climate is changing and it can be one of the threats. People cut down a lot of forests especially tropical rainforests which are very important for our planet because there are homes for a great variety of plants, animals, birds and insects. They influence the planet’s climate. Deforestation leads to the change of the climate on the Earth and as a result people face with a problem of global warming. Global warming has killed off some species of animals and plants. They leave their habitats or become extinct. Besides global warming leads to the rise in temperature which affects animals and even people.
Another global problem deals with social issue. It’s poverty. Nowadays millions of people live in poverty. The worst situation is in Africa where people die of hunger because they have nothing to eat. They have less access to health services, education, housing. Poverty is caused by different factors including unemployment, overpopulation, wars, discrimination. So if we want to reduce poverty we must take some urgent measures.
Заключение
To sun up I would like to say that in the 21st century we have some global problems that must be solved completely. The humanity will live in the world without conflicts, wars, racism, terrorism, poverty.
Дополнительные вопросы
1. What global social problems do you know?
2. What is racism? Why is it a global problem?
Racism is a policy when people of different races and skin colour are humiliated or even killed. It’s a global problem because a lot of people have been being restricted in their rights and it has lasted for a long period of time.
3. In what way can we fight global problems?
Politicians and leaders of different countries must discuss these problems at the meeting and summits. They should come to an agreement and find peaceful ways of solving such problems. Cooperation is very important. Developed countries must help the poor ones. People must stop terrorism in all its forms. They should contribute for the world peace in any way.
II. About fashion
People have always followed fashion. They have always wanted to look smart and cool. So someone dresses to the latest fashion.
But people have various attitudes to fashion. Some of them are indifferent and do not care what to wear while others are very choosy what to wear and they spend a lot of money on clothes.
Fashion is not only clothes we wear. It’s also hair style, make-up, accessories such as shoes, handbags, gloves, belts, hats, scarves, glasses. But the way we dress depends o our taste, weather, season or an occasion.
On special occasions, for example a birthday party, going to the theatre or to a concert, we put on evening dresses, suits, shoes. For everyday clothes we usually choose trousers, jeans, skirts, blouses.
The most popular types of clothes for teenagers are jeans, shirts, T-shirts of different colours, jumpers for boys, and jeans, T-shirts, skirts, blouses, sweaters, cardigans for girls. It’s comfortable. It’s cool. It’s easy to buy. These clothes are not so expensive so you can afford to buy.
In conclusion I want to say that a lot of people do not choose clothes to the latest fashion. They wear what suits them what is comfortable for them. They usually buy clothes that are cheap.
