    The document provides sample responses to questions about environmental issues we currently face. It discusses several serious problems such as climate change, pollution, and depletion of resources. It notes that human activities like burning fossil fuels and transportation are major causes of these problems. It suggests actions the government could take like imposing emissions limits on factories and educating the public to raise awareness. The impacts on future generations are also addressed, such as resources running out and many species becoming endangered or extinct due to global warming effects like loss of habitats.

    Part 3. Environment
    Q: Would you tell me about some of the most serious environmental problems we are facing these days?
    There are lots of serious environmental problems we are facing these days such as climate change,
    environmental degradation, depletion of resources and many types of pollutions like land pollution, water
    pollution, and air pollution. These problems contribute to accelerating global warming, which means the
    earth is getting warmer due to gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide trapping heat from the
    sun. This causes a rise in temperature and sea level, which is a process commonly known as the
    greenhouse effect. We have to expect more extreme weather conditions as well as more occurrences of
    flooding and droughts in the future, which is sad. I truly believe this is a serious problem for all of us.

    Q: What are the causes of these problems?


    I think it's fair to say that these problems were caused by human activities. For example, factories and
    vehicles give off emissions and exhaust fumes. Moreover, other human activities like driving vehicles and
    air travel are causes of environmental problems, too. Because of these human activities, there will be more
    environmental issues later on.

    Q: What can you suggest for the government to do to solve environmental issues?
    The government needs to take action to tackle environmental issues. I think the most effective way is to
    introduce laws to limit and manage emissions from large factories and to impose heavy green taxes. Also, I
    think it would be a good idea if they can educate the public to raise awareness of environmental
    conservation and take the initiative in saving the earth.

    Q: How would the environmental problems we have now impact our offspring?
    I believe that the environmental problems that we have now would impact the next generation in many
    aspects. Fossil fuels like oil and gas will run out sooner or later and of course with the increasing
    population, natural resources will be likely to be used up. Also, enormous areas of rainforest and natural
    habitats of wildlife will be affected by global warming, so I believe many endangered species will no longer
    exist in the future for the next generation to see and care for. It is very likely that the future generation will
    live in adverse environmental conditions because there will be even more issues and problems caused by
    our indiscrete and reckless development that doesn't consider the environment much. I hope I answered
    your question.
