Part 2 (Cue Card)

Talk about a place you have been to, where the air wasn’t clean. You should say:

– where this place is
– when and why you went there
– why the air wasn’t clean
– and explain how you felt about the poor air quality there.

A test taker from Hong Kong shared this cue card earlier, and we posted a model answer on our VIP Club website – read it here

Part 3 (Discussion)

– Is air pollution an issue where you live?
– What do you think are the main causes of air pollution?
– How can big cities improve their air quality?
– Why do people choose to work in big cities, but prefer to live in the nature?
– What can we do to reduce pollution?
– What could the government do to help prevent pollution?
– Some people say that we should leave the environmental issues alone, because human intervention won’t work. What do you think?

These questions, too, have been shared by a test taker from Hong Kong, and we posted model answers on our VIP Club website – read them here
