Sample Answer
(brief intro - Where it was and when you visited it) As soon as I saw the question, “Thach Son village”, it
is known as the cancer village………………... in Vietnam, sprang to mind (think quickly) ……………... I
had to go there a couple of years ago for a visit to my relatives…………………., and the air was atrocious
(very bad)……………….…. I certainly won’t forget about that town in a hurry (remember it for a long

time)…………………………………..
(Why the air was polluted ) you don’t need to be a genius (very easy to understand)……………………to work
out the cause of the contamination (pollution)…………………... That place is slap-bang in the middle ( in
the center) ……………………..of a huge industrial zone and there are factories scattered around (cover a wide

area)……………………….it, constantly belching out (produce a lot of unpleasant substance) ………………….acrid

(bad smell) …………….smoke.

(How this place was affected by it) as you’re approaching, the first thing which hits you is the stench (bad
smell)…………………….., it’s like a mixture of sulphur, petrol and paint. It’s hard to explain how revolting

(disgusting) …………………… it is, but it gets stuck in your throat and makes you want to throw up (empty

everything in your stomach out) ………..……... You soon start to realise that the pollution gets everywhere. It settles
on the buildings and vehicles, it makes windows filthy (extremely dirty)……………………, it makes the water
taste vile (disgusting) ……………….. and causes flowers to wither (become weaker)………………. and die. The
fumes have a catastrophic (detrimental) …………………… effect on health-everyone seems to have asthma
(a disease related to breathing) ….……………., and another respiratory disease (an illness affects your lungs)
………………..….. – and life expectancy (the length of people’s lives) is a decade lower than everywhere else. And
the people look miserable (poor) ………………… and exhausted. They are usually trapped (cannot go out)
……………………. there. They just don’t have the economic resources (money) ………………..to leave.
(And how you felt about it) I wanted to leave immediately. My eyes were stinging (your eyes get a sharp and pain)
……………………and my throat was sore. All my clothes stank (produce bad smell) …………………. and I
couldn’t wait to see some greenery. The minute my last engagement finished, I jumped into a taxi and was
on the first train out of there. Nothing on earth would induce (encourage) ………………. me to return.
