**Today, I would like to tell you about my father, who has been a staunch advocate (người ủng hộ mạnh mẽ – someone who strongly supports a cause) of environmental conservation for as long as I can remember. Unlike many people who simply talk about climate change, he takes concrete actions (hành động thực tế – real and effective actions) to make a difference.

One of his most noteworthy initiatives (sáng kiến đáng chú ý – remarkable and important projects) is promoting waste segregation (phân loại rác – the process of separating waste into different categories). He has set up designated bins (thùng rác chuyên dụng – specific bins for different types of waste) in our house and constantly reminds everyone to sort out recyclables. Thanks to him, our household generates significantly less landfill waste (rác thải chôn lấp ít hơn đáng kể – a much lower amount of waste that ends up in landfills).

Apart from that, my father is incredibly resource-conscious (ý thức về tài nguyên – being aware of how resources are used and trying not to waste them). He has installed energy-efficient appliances (thiết bị tiết kiệm năng lượng – household devices that consume less electricity) and replaced traditional bulbs with LED lighting (đèn LED – energy-saving light bulbs), which reduces our electricity consumption substantially (đáng kể – to a great extent). Additionally, he advocates for sustainable commuting (phương tiện di chuyển bền vững – eco-friendly ways of traveling), often cycling to work instead of using a motorbike or car.>> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

What I admire the most about him is his unwavering commitment (sự cam kết vững chắc – strong and consistent dedication) to making the world a greener place. He never expects recognition for his efforts, yet his actions have inspired many of his colleagues and neighbors to follow suit. Seeing how his grassroots efforts (nỗ lực từ cơ sở – small-scale actions that have a big impact) have encouraged people around him to adopt eco-friendly habits (thói quen thân thiện với môi trường – actions that benefit the environment), I can't help but feel a deep sense of respect for him.

In a world where many people turn a blind eye to environmental issues, having someone like my father, who leads by example, is truly inspiring. His dedication proves that even small, everyday choices can contribute to a healthier planet.

IV. Part 3

Question: Is it the foremost national priority? Why (not)?

I believe that environmental conservation (bảo tồn môi trường – the practice of protecting and preserving natural resources) should be a paramount concern (mối quan tâm hàng đầu – something of utmost importance) for every nation, but in reality, it often takes a backseat to economic development. Governments are typically more inclined to prioritize (ưu tiên – to give more importance to something) industrial growth, which generates employment and boosts GDP. However, this short-term mindset can result in irreversible ecological degradation (suy thoái sinh thái không thể đảo ngược – permanent environmental damage), which would take decades to rectify. For instance, many developing countries have experienced rampant deforestation (nạn phá rừng tràn lan – widespread and uncontrolled destruction of forests) due to their over-reliance on agriculture and infrastructure expansion.

On the other hand, nations that view sustainability as a cornerstone policy (chính sách nền tảng – a fundamental and essential policy) tend to fare better in the long run. Investing in renewable energy sources (nguồn năng lượng tái tạo – energy that comes from natural resources such as the sun or wind) and promoting eco-conscious behavior (hành vi thân thiện với môi trường – actions that are mindful of the environment) can ensure long-term prosperity without compromising natural resources. Take Germany, for example. The government has implemented strict environmental regulations and subsidized green technologies, making the country a global leader in sustainability.

New Vocabulary:

  1. Environmental conservation – bảo tồn môi trường – the practice of protecting and preserving natural resources

  2. Paramount concern – mối quan tâm hàng đầu – something of utmost importance

  3. Prioritize – ưu tiên – to give more importance to something

  4. Irreversible ecological degradation – suy thoái sinh thái không thể đảo ngược – permanent environmental damage

  5. Rampant deforestation – nạn phá rừng tràn lan – widespread and uncontrolled destruction of forests

  6. Cornerstone policy – chính sách nền tảng – a fundamental and essential policy

  7. Renewable energy sources – nguồn năng lượng tái tạo – energy that comes from natural resources such as the sun or wind

  8. Eco-conscious behavior – hành vi thân thiện với môi trường – actions that are mindful of the environment

Synonyms & Antonyms:

Synonyms:

  • Environmental conservationSustainable development, green preservation, eco-protection

  • Rampant deforestationUncontrolled logging, forest depletion, massive tree clearance

  • Cornerstone policyFundamental principle, pivotal strategy, essential framework

Antonyms:

  • Environmental conservationEnvironmental exploitation, ecological neglect, resource depletion

  • Rampant deforestationForest conservation, afforestation efforts, tree preservation

  • Cornerstone policyInsignificant measure, peripheral strategy, minor initiative

    • (Tuy nhiên, tư duy ngắn hạn này có thể dẫn đến suy thoái sinh thái không thể đảo ngược, điều mà phải mất hàng thập kỷ mới có thể khắc phục.)

Question 2: What are the funding sources for environmental protection?

The primary funding sources for environmental initiatives include government subsidies (trợ cấp của chính phủ – financial support given by the government to assist industries or initiatives) and corporate sponsorships (tài trợ của doanh nghiệp – financial backing provided by companies for environmental projects). Many governments allocate a portion of their national budget to fund sustainable development projects (dự án phát triển bền vững – initiatives aimed at balancing economic growth with environmental preservation). However, in some developing nations, environmental concerns are often overshadowed by pressing socio-economic issues (các vấn đề kinh tế – xã hội cấp bách – urgent problems related to society and the economy), leading to insufficient funding. A case in point is Indonesia, where deforestation rates remain high due to limited financial resources for conservation efforts.

Besides public funding, private enterprises (doanh nghiệp tư nhân – businesses that operate independently from the government) also play a crucial role in financing eco-friendly initiatives (các sáng kiến thân thiện với môi trường – projects that promote sustainability). Many multinational corporations have integrated corporate social responsibility (trách nhiệm xã hội của doanh nghiệp – a company’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices) into their business models, channeling funds into reforestation programs and carbon reduction schemes. A well-known example is Tesla, which heavily invests in green technology (công nghệ xanh – technological advancements that are environmentally sustainable) to reduce carbon emissions.

Question 3: Does the government allocate much of the national budget to the environment? Why?

In most cases, the government does not allocate a substantial portion (phần đáng kể – a large amount of something) of the national budget to environmental protection due to competing priorities. Typically, sectors of paramount importance (những lĩnh vực quan trọng hàng đầu – areas that are of utmost significance) such as healthcare, education, and defense receive a lion’s share (phần lớn nhất – the biggest portion) of financial resources. As a result, environmental conservation is often underfunded (thiếu kinh phí – not having enough financial resources), particularly in developing nations where economic advancement (sự phát triển kinh tế – the process of economic growth and progress) takes precedence over sustainability. A prime example is India, where rapid urbanization and industrialization have resulted in environmental degradation, but government funding for conservation remains limited.

Nevertheless, some progressive governments have realized the long-term consequences of neglecting environmental concerns (bỏ qua các vấn đề môi trường – failing to address ecological issues) and are actively increasing their financial commitments. Countries like Sweden and Norway have introduced generous environmental grants (các khoản trợ cấp môi trường hào phóng – significant financial aid for ecological initiatives) and tax incentives for companies that adopt sustainable business practices (các hoạt động kinh doanh bền vững – corporate behaviors that minimize environmental harm). These nations serve as role models, demonstrating how financial investments in green initiatives can yield economic and environmental benefits.

Question 4: Do young people care about the environment? Why?

Yes, I believe that young people today are more environmentally conscious (có ý thức về môi trường – aware of environmental issues and their impact) than previous generations. With the rise of social media, environmental movements have gained unprecedented traction (sự lan tỏa chưa từng có – a level of influence and popularity never seen before), educating and mobilizing the youth to take action. Many young individuals actively participate in climate strikes (các cuộc đình công vì khí hậu – protests demanding urgent action on climate change) and engage in grassroots activism (hoạt động xã hội cấp cơ sở – social movements that originate from ordinary citizens rather than institutions) to advocate for sustainability. For instance, Greta Thunberg, a teenage activist, has inspired millions of young people worldwide to push for stronger environmental policies.

However, despite their awareness, not all young individuals translate their concerns into tangible action (hành động cụ thể – measurable efforts to achieve something). Many are still deeply entrenched in consumerist lifestyles (bị cuốn vào lối sống tiêu dùng – heavily involved in excessive consumption of goods and services), favoring convenience over sustainability. For example, despite being aware of plastic pollution, many young consumers still frequently purchase single-use plastics (nhựa dùng một lần – plastic products intended to be used once before being discarded) due to their affordability and accessibility. This contradiction highlights the need for stronger environmental education and incentivized eco-friendly policies (các chính sách khuyến khích bảo vệ môi trường – government regulations that reward sustainable behaviors) to encourage long-term behavioral change.
