Microsoft Word ielts speaking Actual Tests (Sep Dec 2019) and Suggested Answers Version

12.5. Would you like to help other people to keep your town or city tidy? Absolutely! I love to take part in city clean-up activities. It would be my dream to start my own NGO, so I’m even thinking about creating one with an environmental cause. Apart from this, I’m a teacher, so I always integrate environmental topics into my classes.
12.6. Do you think plastic bags are a serious environmental problem?
Very! They aren’t the only subject to focus on, but there is concrete evidence of the negative effects that plastic has on our entire planet and ecosystems, as it cannot decompose. I feel very upset when I see videos of animals dying from ingesting plastic, etc.
12.7. Do you think it's important to protect the environment?
Very! It isn’t something that only affects us, but also our future generations. If we destroy the planet now, there won’t be a healthy one for our children, grandchildren, and so on. Furthermore, along with humans, we also have to think about the state of our ecosystems in order to create a sustainable future.
12.8. Do you think schools should educate children to protect the environment?
Of course! Education is a very powerful tool to change the world. We have to educate them on even the simple steps they can take to create a more sustainable future, as well as let them know the risks we face. Moreover, we have to show them the significance of it all.
