19、lution is becoming more and more serious all over the world. The poisonous gases emitted by factories and automobiles has made the air unhealthy for people to breathe. 2.Air pollution caused by chemicals is a very serious problem because it damages the ozone layer. Without the ozone layer, not only
20、ourselves but all plants and animal lives are exposed to dangerous rays from the sun. 3.Aerosol can emit chemicals which break down the ozone layer. Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems and card also release dangerous emissions. 4.Measures are being taken to cope with the problem. Firstly, man
21、y new laws have been passed placing strict control over industrial pollution. Secondly, a large-scale program is now underway to educate people to be responsible citizens in fighting pollution. Finally, the government has started building various facilities such as sewage treatment plants and has en
22、couraged scientists to work out more and better ways to reduce air pollution. It is hoped that these measures will be effective and will restore a healthy environment. 5.Waste water keeps pouring into lakes, rivers and as a result many water species are dying out. Furthermore, litter is a problem ev
23、erywhere we go. Pollution is in fact threatening our existence. 6.Everyone agrees that water pollution is a serious problem. Lakes, rivers and even oceans all over the world are becoming polluted with garbage and dangerous chemicals. Factories contribute to the problem because they rely on rivers fo
24、r the disposal of their waste products. Oil and other chemicals can kill fish and make water unsafe for drinking. Polluted water is a hazard to everyone. 7. Many governments both in developed countries and in developing countries have laid down rules and regulations in respect to the pollution probl
25、em. Factories in cities, towns are forbidden to drain waste liquids into rivers, lakes and seas until they have been totally treated and purified. With the progress of science and technology, a series of advanced methods have been developed to treat contaminated water. And certain remarkable results
26、 have been achieved. Rivers which used to be polluted by industrial chemical wastes are now being cleaned and fish which could not live there a few years ago can be caught again. 8. Mans survival relies heavily on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from
27、the food we eat and the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furniture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is a case in po
28、int. If man continues to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations will encounter huge problems. 9. People are beginning to show a real concern over the problem. There is an increasingly call from the public for firm action against pollution. 10. The reduction
29、of wooded areas has already led to increased flooding and water shortages in dry seasons.

30、he test Im going to give each of you a list of three different topics. Id like you to select one of the topics and give a short presentation for about a minute.

31、 You may make notes while you are preparing and take notes while the other person is talking. Now youll have 2 minutes to prepare. All right.

32、hnologies can create serious environmental and social problems. The question is whether governments should focus on these problems when they are formulating policies regarding new technology. Some people would argue that governments have an important watchdog role to play and that they should attemp
33、t to establish whether a proposed technology is likely to have any harmful effects. This is considered to be part of a governments role in looking after public interest and showing concern for the welfare of its citizens. These people would invest governments with the power to veto the introduction
34、of certain technologies. The problem with this approach however, is that it is very difficult to know in advance what the full effects of any new technology will be. The history of science and technology has many fascinating examples of unexpected developments. Sometimes a technological advance in o
35、ne area can lead to a surprising breakthrough in another seemingly unrelated area. For example, technology which originated from the U. S space program has been further developed and applied in lots of other areas of life. And one certainly cannot depend upon government bureaucracies to make accurat
36、e assessments about these matters. Another problem is that, where one government might decide to ban the use of a new technology, another country may well go ahead with its introduction. In an increasingly competitive global economy the first country may severely disadvantage itself by such an action. New technology is essential for a countrys economic development. The best approach is to positively encourage the development of new technologies and to focus on their benefits. Any problems that may occur can be dealt with afterwards.
