3
learn together hey everyone welcome back to english with emma
4
and ben we're
5
so happy you're here with us again hi guys today we're
6
tackling another really important isles topic one that's not just common in the test
7
but also super relevant to real life the environment
8
and conservation exactly this topic shows up in all three parts of the ielts speaking test
9
and examiners love to hear your opinions on it especially
10
if you can use a few natural expressions
11
and specific examples yeah it's one of those topics where you can really show off your vocabulary words like sustainability pollution,
12
renewable energy, and environmentally friendly.
13
And don't worry if those sound a bit advanced.
14
We'll show you how to use them naturally, not in a memorized way.
15
Let's start with some simple warm -up questions, just like IELTS Part 1.
16
Okay, the examiner might ask something like, do you care about protecting the environment?
17
I'd answer, yes, definitely.
18
I think everyone should care about the environment because it affects all of us.
19
I try to do small things in my daily life, like recycling, reducing waste, and using reusable bags instead of plastic ones.
20
That's perfect.
21
Short, personal, and full of good phrases.
22
You used reducing waste and reusable bags, both great collocations.
23
Yeah, and you don't need to sound like a scientist.
24
Just describe real hobbits that show awareness.
25
Exactly.
26
Here's another one.
27
Do you think it's easy to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle?
28
Hmm.
29
I'd probably say not really.
30
It's getting easier, but sometimes it still costs more to buy eco -friendly products or organic food.
31
I think many people want to help the planet, but convenience often wins.
32
Oh, I like that.
33
Convenience often wins.
34
That's such a natural phrase.
35
And it's true.
36
Sometimes people care, but it's hard to change habits.
37
Totally.
38
You can also say something like, it takes effort to be eco -conscious, which means aware and responsible about the environment.
39
Great word.
40
Eco -conscious.
41
Okay, let's imagine you get a Part 2 cue card.
42
It could be something like, describe a place you've been to that was affected by pollution or environmental problems.
43
Ooh, that's an interesting one.
44
I'll try that.
45
A few years ago, I visited a beach that had a serious plastic pollution problem.
46
The scenery was beautiful, but there was rubbish everywhere.
47
Bottles, wrappers, and even fishing nets washed up on the sand.
48
It was really sad to see how human activity can ruin such a lovely natural place.
49
After that trip, I started paying more attention to my own plastic use.
50
I began carrying a metal water bottle and avoiding single -use items whenever possible.
51
That experience really made me realize how big the problem is and how important it is to protect the environment.
52
That's such a great answer, Ben.
53
It sounds natural and emotional, not rehearsed.
54
You gave a story, feelings, and even a change in behavior.
55
That's exactly what examiners love.
56
Thanks.
57
And it includes nice phrases like plastic pollution, single -use items, and protect the environment.
58
You also used made me realize, which shows reflection, perfect for higher band scores.
59
Right.
60
And I think personal stories always make your answer memorable.
61
Absolutely.
62
Okay, let's go a bit deeper, like in IELTS Part 3.
63
The examiner might ask something like, what are the main environmental problems in your country?
64
I'd say, well, I think air pollution is one of the biggest issues, especially in large cities.
65
Traffic and factories produce a lot of emissions, which affects people's health.
66
Deforestation is also a serious problem in some areas, mainly because of construction and agriculture.
67
Nice.
68
You covered two issues and explained the causes.
69
That's exactly how to handle this kind of question.
70
Give examples, not just names of problems.
71
Yeah, don't just say pollution.
72
Say what kind of pollution and why it happens.
73
Totally.
74
Another common question is, what can individuals do to protect the environment?
75
Oh, easy one.
76
I'd say individuals can do a lot, even small things.
77
For example, we can recycle, save water, use public transport instead of driving, and avoid wasting electricity.
78
If everyone makes a small effort, it adds up to a big change.
79
I love that line.
80
If everyone makes a small effort, it adds up to a big change.
81
That's such a good, positive way to end your answer.
82
Yeah, it sounds confident and hopeful, which examiners appreciate.
83
Another question could be, do you think Governments are doing enough to protect the environment?
84
That's a classic IELTS question.
85
I'd answer, I think some governments are making progress, but in many countries, there's still a long way to go.
86
They need to invest more in renewable energy, like solar and wind power, and create stricter laws to control pollution.
87
Raising public awareness is also really important.
88
Brilliant.
89
Renewable energy, invest in, and raise awareness.
90
Those are all Band 8, Band 9 collocations.
91
And again, it's not about using big words, it's about using the right words naturally.
92
Exactly.
93
Here's another one I love.
94
Do you think schools should teach children about the environment?
95
Definitely.
96
I'd say yes, because children are the future, and if they learn to respect nature early on, they'll grow up to be responsible adults.
97
Schools can teach recycling, planting trees, or even small projects like keeping the school clean.
98
That's so true.
99
And the structure is great.
100
Opinion, reason, then example.
101
That's the magic formula for IELTS answers.
102
Right.
103
Opinion, reason, example.
104
Works every time.
105
Let's talk about some useful words and expressions students can use in this topic.
106
Good idea.
107
I'll start.
108
Go green.
109
It means to adopt an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
110
Carbon footprint.
111
That's the total amount of carbon dioxide you produce.
112
You can say, I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint by cycling to work.
113
Renewable resources like wind, solar, or hydropower.
114
Sustainable lifestyle.
115
That's when you live in a way that doesn't harm the planet for future generations.
116
And conservation, protecting nature and wildlife.
117
Perfect.
118
You can say, conservation is essential to preserve endangered species.
119
Oh, that's another good phrase.
120
Endangered species.
121
Like animals that are at risk of disappearing.
122
Exactly.
123
And one of my favorite idioms for this topic is, every little bit helps.
124
It's a great way to end an answer about personal responsibility.
125
Love that one.
126
You could say, I know I can't solve climate change alone, but every little bit helps.
127
That's a natural and meaningful way to show awareness.
128
Speaking of climate change, that's another huge area in IELTS.
129
The question might be, what can we do to reduce the effects of climate change?
130
We can reduce our carbon emissions by using public transport, switching to renewable energy, and consuming less.
131
People can also plant trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and help clean the air.
132
Nicely put!
133
And again, those verbs — reduce, switch to, absorb — make your English sound clear and academic without sounding robotic.
134
Totally agree.
135
Now, let's talk quickly about common mistakes students make in this topic.
136
Number one, saying save the environment too much.
137
It's fine once, but don't repeat it in every answer.
138
Mix it up with phrases like protect nature or reduce environmental damage.
139
Number two, being too general.
140
Don't just say pollution is bad.
141
Say what kind, where, and why it's a problem.
142
And number three, giving emotional answers without structure.
143
Saying people don't care and it's terrible doesn't show your English ability.
144
Explain your ideas logically.
145
Exactly.
146
And pronunciation matters too.
147
Words like environment, pollution, and climate need to be clear.
148
Don't rush them.
149
Yeah, and practicing environmentally friendly, slowly.
150
That one's a tongue twister for many students.
151
True.
152
Okay, let's do a short role play before we wrap up.
153
I'll be the examiner.
154
All right, let's go.
155
Do you think large companies should be responsible for reducing pollution?
156
Absolutely.
157
I think large companies have a huge impact on the environment, so they should take responsibility.
158
They can switch to cleaner production methods, use eco -friendly materials, and reduce packaging waste.
159
Some companies are already doing this, but others need stricter regulations to push them to act.
160
That's excellent.
161
You used cleaner production methods, eco -friendly materials, and stricter regulations.
162
That's exactly the kind of vocabulary examiners love to hear.
163
Thanks.
164
All right, one last one.
165
What do you think the future of our planet will look like?
166
Hmm, that's a deep one.
167
I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic.
168
If people keep learning about environmental issues and technology continues to improve, I think we can find solutions to most problems.
169
But if we keep ignoring the warning signs, the consequences could be serious.
170
So it really depends on how much action we take now.
171
Wow, that's such a thoughtful answer.
172
You sound realistic, but hopeful.
173
Perfect for IELTS Part 3.
174
Thanks.
175
I think showing a balanced attitude always helps in the test.
176
Couldn't agree more.
177
So before we finish, let's recap a few useful phrases from today.
178
Go green, reduce your carbon footprint, renewable energy, endangered species, and every little bit helps.
179
And don't forget, always give examples and reasons.
180
That's the secret to sounding fluent and confident.
181
Exactly.
182
You're not just listing vocabulary.
183
You're telling a story, sharing your view, and connecting it to real life.
184
Well, that's it for today's episode.
185
Thanks for tuning in, everyone.
186
We hope this helped you feel more confident about talking about the environment in IELTS and in real life.
187
Remember, use English, stay curious, and maybe plant a tree today.
188
I like that.
189
See you on the next episode.
190
We'll be talking about education and learning, another classic IELTS topic.
191
See you then.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
