Plastic Pollution
USHA JESUDASAN
Walk down any city street or village road, turn any corner, find a spot atthe beach or in a park and you will find mounds and mounds of dirty plasticbags, food wrappings, plastic cups, bottles and cartons lie piled high, orblocking drainage systems and sewers. The road outside our house is litteredwith flimsy multi-coloured plastic bags. The wind blows these bags into the opengutter. The bags collect and block the gutter which then spills on to the road.Mosquitoes thrive in the stagnant water. Pigs and rats wallow in the slime,carrying disease. The place stinks and the air is polluted. The garbage menrefuse to clean the gutters... they are only paid to clear the litter off thestreets! So the clutter and slime increases every week.
Who is responsible for all this litter and mess and the pollutedatmosphere? We are of course! Every one of us. Although each one of uscontributes to the problem, none of us is willing to be part of the solution toit. So the Tamil Nadu Government is keen on taking a drastic step to curb theuse of plastics and make the roads clean and environmentally safe. Thegovernment's desire to introduce a bill that would ban plastic bags and otherplastic items is a desperate attempt to control the huge environmental andhealth hazards that face us today.
Despite my desire to see a clean environment and have a clean road I wonderwhat will we do without all the plastic things in our lives? The many uses ofdisposable plastic that we use everyday comes to mind, gloves, pens, cups,bottles, cans — can we really do without these?
Do we see the proposed ban as a necessary measure? Or will it be foughtagainst with passion by the plastic industry? Each year, as industry producesmore and more non-essential products individually and excessively packaged inplastic, we throw away more and more trash. Plastic razors can only be used afew times before disposal, then more must be bought, making the plastic andrazor industries rich and happy. Pens used to be filled with ink, today we usethem, throw them away and go out and buy another one. The pen industries make alot of money too. Many household appliances are designed to become obsoletewithin a short duration and that guarantees that you'll just have to buy newones next year.
To a large extent, our garbage problem is a result of a corporate businessethic that puts profits before people and the environment. Industry pushes theadvantages of "disposability'' to the public because it suits them and it payswell. The profit from disposability goes into the pockets of only a few but thehazards of disposability are faced by many more.
The proposed ban makes me realise that each one of us should develop asense of responsibility not just towards the litter on our roads but alsotowards the things we buy and use and throw away.
2.雅思口語自學方法
1. 長期戰(zhàn)略
1)看所有你能買到的英文電影或電視�。篜RISON BREAK, SEX AND CITY,FRIENDS等等，看一遍中文字幕，再看一遍英文字幕;
2)把自己隨時做成“英語角”：廁所英語角，公共汽車英語角，自問自答。
3)背誦固定的表達結構，比如：
I like living in Guangzhou. The best thing about living here is the food.It is of high quality and reasonable price. And you always get great services inrestaurants! Another wonderful thing is the climate. I just love warm weather. Ican not stand the cold climate in the North!
2. 考前沖刺戰(zhàn)略
1)每天回答一整套口語考題，不在乎回答得好與壞，只在乎流利，落落大方，有話可說
2)把一個題目回答3次;先用英語;再用中文(可以反復講幾次中文，直到邏輯清晰);再用英文。
3)在口試前1個小時，進入純英語狀態(tài)，不停地說話，隨便說什么都可以。哪怕你大聲說：I’m so nervous, can you seethat
很多中國學生對簡單的語言往往不屑一顧，只求理解而不去嘗試著使用自己學到的東西。中國學生在學英語中喜歡追求一個字"難"。盡管學了很多難的東西，卻不會"用"。而事實上，簡單的東西如能靈活、準確地使用才是真正重要的。比如從口語來說，人們并不是看一個人會說多么難的單詞，關鍵在于看他能否熟練運用簡單的單詞、句型、語法來表達情感、思想。英語國家人們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹慕涣魇峭ㄟ^有限數(shù)量的單詞和簡單的句型來完成的。
1. 造就成就感，培養(yǎng)自信。
2. 增加興趣。
3. 語言朗朗上口。
4. 易于學以致用。
學習語言以上四點很重要，堅持不懈，從不間斷。熟記常用語，確保準確無誤。把常用的交際用語背熟，熟能生巧。敢于開口說英語，不要怕犯錯誤。人人都會犯錯，這是在所難免的，只要敢說，就一定能學好。要創(chuàng)設情景，加強交際訓練。語言的運用離不開場景的強化訓練，只有交際，才能學好。
3.雅思口語怎樣回答切題
對于雅思口語考試，很多考生都感到迷惑，不知道怎么回答才叫切題。有的學生認為只要是聽明白老師的問題順著往下說就可以。只要中間沒有太多的停頓就行。所以這部分考生更注重說口語的流利度。而另一部分學生，他們更注重語音語調(diào)的練習，認為發(fā)音是雅思口語的重頭戲。
其實雅思口語考試不是僅僅考察學生的語音，語調(diào)和流利度，而是考核考生整體的交流技能。而這個交流技能在考試過程中是從具體的測試方向進行衡量的，衡量方向包括口語詞匯數(shù)量的大小，說話的時候是不是有邏輯，句法掌控的怎樣，句型變化的情況，句子之間的銜接，以及對習語的應用等等。有的學生覺得這么多條條框框考試的時間又那么短，不可能都記得清清楚楚的。這里考生需要注重的一個問題就是，考試的時候回答問題一定要切題。
其實雅思口語和作文很相似，口語中對給出的話題一定要切入主題，不然就會被考官認為是跑題。但是前提條件是一定要把題目聽明白了才行。對于跑題的概念我們來舉出具體的例子說明;
問題：Do you like reading books? 很多考生回答：Yes, I do. I like reading booksvery much。
對于這個答案，很多學生都認為老師問的問題太簡單了，我只能這么回答。而很多老師對于這個答案也耳熟了。老師提醒各位考生的是，這個回答不算跑題，但是太過于簡單了。想拿高分的考生不能老師一問Doyou....。然后你就回答Yes, I do....。這樣的話。感覺像是在背課文�？梢杂肙f course, Definitely, Sure,和Certainly來做個替換，然后把后面I like的賓語提前說出來，就變成了Reading books is one of my favourites in my free time. And it can enlarge my imagination and widen the scope ofknowledge。這樣回答既能保證不太俗套，內(nèi)容也比較充實。對于口語第一部分的問題，建議考生不要回答的內(nèi)容過多。只要切題，答出要點就可以了。如果考官讓你談談你的家鄉(xiāng)，首先要歸納重點要說的內(nèi)容，然后把其中的一個擴展就行。不要沒完沒了的說很多，老師還會認為你是背誦出來的呢。
