Agree & Disagree 
---------- Question 1 ---------- 
You should spend about 
40
minutes on this task. 
Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and 
large companies can make a difference. 
To what extent do you agree or disagree? 
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own 
knowledge or experience. 
You should write at least 
250
words. 
Example 1
Problems such as the rising of global temperature
s
and health problems had a crucial 
impact on the relationship with our everyday life, so that public institutions started 
building awareness over their citizen, on how impactful would be a behavioral 
change for the 
environment
. For this main reason, in this essay I will discuss why I 
disagree with the statement above. 
To begin with, 
m
ankind cannot think Itself as autonomous from the environment 
around, which means that our actions are tightly related to natural events. As a 
matter of fact, a research conducted in areas subjected to earthquake
s, such
as Chile, 
Hawai or Japan, noticed that the power of these calamities doubled since the 
beginning of the 50’s, when governments gave permission to withdraw oil from the 
soil. Yet, earth shakings would likely increase if members of parliament will keep on 
permitting such exploitation on behalf of one country
’s
development. 
But how 
can 
people prove their action
s
are still valuable to make a change in this 
current situation? How 
can 
a change in our day-to-day life make a difference? The 
last Day Zero in Mexico was an excellent example of it. In fact, in 2013 Mexico City 
was about to run out of water, because of the massive drought of North America’s 
water sources.As a consequence of overusing and wasting potable water, the issue 
became a matter of millions of Mexicans. Accordingly, people started saving water,
