9 about the environmental problems in your neighborhood
Your letter should include:
- what the environmental problems are (air, water, noise, land)
- what has caused these environmental problems
- what should be done to help improve these situations
Dear Thu,
Thank you for your letter With regards to the story you shared with me about your city, It is regrettable that
Hanoi, where I’m living, is negatively affected by pollution too and the major environmental problems it is facing are water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution There are various reasons why this city is badly polluted Firstly, due to
modernization (hiện đại hóa), more and more vehicles such as cars and motorbikes are used.This leads to
an increase in exhaust emissions (khí thải) which contaminate the atmosphere, not to mention (đó là chưa kể) the rising level of noise pollution (ô nhiễm tiếng ồn) Secondly, factories and industrial zones in the
Trang 7city have discharged a huge amount of untreated waste (chất thải chưa được xử lý) into rivers, causing
death to many fish and other aquatic animals (sinh vật sống trong nước)
In fact, pollution makes people here less healthy, and some even suffer from life-threatening diseases
(bệnh nguy hiểm) such as lung cancer (ung thư phổ), skin cancer, and so on Therefore, the government
must deal with this problem right away Cutting down on vehicle use is the best way to reduce air pollution and noise pollution We can do this by encouraging people to use public transportation Besides, those who litter (xả rác) should pay a heavy fine Finally, I think the best solution is to raise awareness and educate
people to protect the environment
VOCABULARY
✓ regrettable: [adjective] đáng tiếc
Example: It is regrettable that only a minority of people are concerned about the environment
✓ exhaust emissions: [noun phrase] khí thải
✓ contaminate: [verb] gây ô nhiễm
✓ discharge: [verb] thải ra

✓ aquatic: [adjective] (sinh vật) sống trong môi trường nước

✓ life-threatening: [adjective] likely to kill someone
Example: Aid workers in poor countries often have to deal with difficult,
life-threatening situations
✓ cutting down on: [phrasal verb] reducing the size, amount or number of something
Example: You will improve your health by cutting down on cigarettes
✓ awareness: [noun] knowing that something exists and is important

After my journey to Danang, I think if I have a chance to move, I would love to settle there Da Nang is a coastal city with many beauty spots, fresh air, less traffic jam and cheap cost of living The price of a house
