With less than 50% of 15-16 year old taking a language at GCSE, and
the number of students studying languages at A-level or university
plummeting, the UK is at the bottom of the European languages
league table for those being able to speak at least one other
language. This is (4)…… for the UK as 80% of young people in Sweden
and the Netherlands are able to speak (5) …… language. The EU is
also doing everything it can to help increase the number of multi-
linguists in Europe by increasing the budget for Erasmus funding, (6)
…… can only be a good thing. Where would languages in the UK be
without the EU and Erasmus funding? Not many of us would be able to
afford to go on a year abroad therefore not improving our language
skills enough.
I am working in two primary schools just outside of Paris as part of
my year abroad. Most pupils here start learning English when they
are six years old, and a few of them started when they were three!
Learning a language from such a young age makes it (7) …… for
them to pick it up; some of the children are still learning to read and
write! They find English (8) …… and a well-needed change from
learning French, Maths, History and Geography. Learning English is
also compulsory from a young age, whereas here in Britain,
languages are currently only compulsory from year 7- 9 (ages 11-13),
and students have the choice whether to take languages as a GCSE
exam option.

CLIMATE
CHANGE
A. Climate change is one of the most
pressing issues of our time. The
effects of climate change are
already being felt around the world,
in the form of more extreme weather
events, rising sea levels, and changes
in plant and animal life. If we do not
take action to address climate
change, the consequences will be
catastrophic.
B. The main cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil,
and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere,
which trap heat and cause the Earth's temperature to rise. Other causes of
climate change include deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes. The
effects of climate change are already being felt around the world. In recent
years, we have seen more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods,
and droughts. Sea levels are also rising, which is threatening coastal
communities. In addition, climate change is causing changes in plant and animal
life. Some species are moving to cooler areas, while others are becoming extinct.

Informative Essay
on the Beauty of
Nature
I appreciate the beauty of nature
and everyday occurrences in a way
that I love starting my day by
seeing the beauty of nature in the
very simple things around me, such
as the mountain, trees, plants, and
some animals that were here on our
farm. Every time I see a place
where I feel peace and I smell the
fresh air, where there is no
pollution.
I will say that this is the true life of being simple. And every day
for me is like a gift, and every gift is beautiful in its own way.
Sometimes the gifts are not directly received or given from one
person to another, but they are simply all around us. They wait
for us to notice and appreciate them. Just like nature, although
before we ignore the beauty of it, it seems as time goes by
nature or our environment gets better. So, God, give us the gift
of being present and being open to the wonderful world that
surrounds us. Appreciate the little things because sometimes the
little things make you happy and content.

When rivers and seas are polluted by waste we are not only stealing
their beauty but we are spoiling it for ourselves too. Our health can
also suffer. Sadly accidents do occur; oil slicks sometimes happen
and wreck the environment. Animals tend to suffer the most from
these incidents. We should really have in place something that will
prevent so much destruction, rather than just waiting for it to
happen, then trying to clean up the damage.
Nuclear waste has been the cause of controversy over the years.
Radioactive material leaking cut would be very serious indeed, it
can cause real harm. This is why it is the most worrying.
Although we are trying to stop the hole in the ozone layer getting
any bigger, nuclear waste is still a serious problem. The ozone layer
protects us from harmful ultra-violet rays. Its hole has been caused
by chlorofluorocarbons (cfc's) , a chemical that was found in some
products. Refrigerators used to contain them. So do we care enough
about the earth we have inherited and our passing onto future
generations? Or is it now all too late to do anything? Each one of
us can make a difference and each and every one of us is
responsible to the environment. It takes care of us; we should take
care of it.
