SOIL CONTAMINATON
Pollution of our environment is one of the most worrisome and controversial events. The Earth is a unique
planet in the solar system. The diversity and quality of life that we find here at the moment, has not been
demonstrated that there is a nearby planet
The issue of the pollution of our planet is not something new, but one cloud affirm that today its study requires
a special importance. Why? Simply because now more than ever the man is polluting. Several studies carried
out by experts have shown that the air, soil and sea pollution in the last hundred years has been greater than
that produced in several centuries of history.
Finally, the best way to help your planet is by passing these advices on to other people that you know: your
family, your friends, your mates at school, or anyone you meet at the market. Let them know how to do
something nice for their world too!
How helpful were the online workbook and progress test of Unit 5 on Cambridge Platform to improve
your English skills?
the cambridge platform was a great help in this unit because we were able to reinforce our knowledge

Write from your own and unique experience. (Word count: 100 - 150)
Is there any aspect you didn’t understand? Mention it.
From my only experience I believe that unit 5 is of great help for the student to obtain a better vocabulary to
express himself better for a
conversation
I also think that the knowledge of writing an essay is very important to express yourself and improve your
writing.
It is also important to reinforce my knowledge through videos and activities
Using the cambirdge platform still seems like a good idea to me because in this way we can reinforce our
knowledge and learn more
In this unit I promise to continue learning and improving my English with vocabulary, especially
the ones in this unit that are of great help to talk about the environment, its problems and solutions
