"Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed by human activities. Others believe that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What's your opinion? Use specific reasons."
(Question from the TOEFL test in the past)
Not my original question but essay is my original.
Human activity is actually harming the Earth. There is so much to talk about but I only talk about 3 aspects, as they are really serious problem. First is global warming, rising temperature. Next is Ozone layer, the ozone hole is getting bigger. The last one is destruction of rainforest, changing climates.
First, global warming, global warming is the problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO²) in the air, carbon dioxide store the heat from the Sun so the temperature goes up. Scientist said that the temperature would rise from 2 to 5 degrees. If the temperature goes up, the ice in the North Pole will melt and sea level would go up which causes some land to sink (doesn't really sink, just go under the water). If there is less land, it's already too dense because of over-population but it would be denser. This problem is caused by over-population, human development such as invention of car, which produces a lot of CO² and destruction of rainforest. This global warming can cause desertification.
Next, Ozone layer, Ozone is the molecule of three Oxygen combined together (O³) which absorbs the Sun UVs which if it go through straight to animal's (including human of course) skin, they can get cancer. These days there is a hole in Ozone layer called ozone hole mainly in South Pole. This hole can be spread around the world if they keep getting worse. Using too much air-conditioner causes this problem and also CFCs gases that are produced by fridge and car are making this Ozone hole.
Last, Destruction of rainforest, rainforests are important that they on balance produce Oxygen from CO² . This destruction of rainforest causes global warming and desertification. This problem is caused because people want paper, make furniture and build houses.
Humans are doing some activities that are benefit for Earth, but on balance, there are more bad aspects than good aspects. So right now human activities are hurting the Earth. These three reasons are being done to develop our lives but ironically, we can't live here anymore if our planet, Earth gets hurt. To keep living in our Earth, human activities have to be changed.
Thank you for reading this essay…I'm waiting for your reply!!:-D
