sustainable development

L'idée principale est d'apprendre comment protéger la planète (environnement) tout en permettant le développement économique et social. Tu dois savoir expliquer les problèmes (pollution, réchauffement) et proposer des solutions (énergies propres, recyclage).

💡 À retenir : Focus sur l'équilibre entre l'homme et la nature.

1. Renewable energy comes from natural sources that never run out, like the sun (solar) or wind.
2. Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will eventually disappear, like oil or coal.

💡 À retenir : Renewable = infinite / Non-renewable = limited.

Pour réussir ton essai, suis ce plan :

1. Introduction : Définis le sujet (ex: pollution est un grand problème).
2. Body : Utilise des connecteurs de cause (because of) et de conséquence (consequently) pour expliquer pourquoi cela arrive et ce que ça provoque.
3. Conclusion : Donne des solutions simples (ex: We should recycle more).

💡 À retenir : Utilise des connecteurs pour lier tes idées.

Your carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (especially $CO_2$) produced by your actions (driving a car, using electricity, eating meat). The goal of sustainable development is to reduce this footprint.

💡 À retenir : Small footprint = good for the planet.

We can protect biodiversity by:

1. Creating protected natural areas (national parks).
2. Reducing pollution in oceans and forests.
3. Stopping illegal hunting and deforestation.

💡 À retenir : Biodiversity = variety of life.

Non, ce n'est pas difficile ! Il faut juste mémoriser les mots clés (pollution, energy, resources, environment). Si tu connais ces 15-20 mots, tu peux répondre à presque toutes les questions.

💡 À retenir : Apprends 5 mots par jour.

The three pillars are:

1. Environmental (Nature).
2. Social (People/Equality).
3. Economic (Money/Growth).

💡 À retenir : Un projet doit respecter les trois pour être "sustainable".

• To show cause: Because, because of, due to, since.
• To show effect: So, therefore, as a result, consequently.

💡 À retenir : Cause $\rightarrow$ Effect.

Global warming is the increase in the Earth's average temperature caused by too much $CO_2$ and other gases in the atmosphere. This leads to melting ice and extreme weather.

💡 À retenir : Greenhouse gases $\rightarrow$ Heat $\rightarrow$ Global warming.

Technology helps by creating new ways to produce clean energy (like better solar panels) and by finding better ways to recycle waste and save water.

💡 À retenir : Technology = a tool for solutions.

Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees to make room for agriculture or industry. It is bad because it destroys habitats and increases $CO_2$.

💡 À retenir : No trees = more $CO_2$ and less oxygen.

Students can:

1. Use less plastic.
2. Recycle paper and bottles.
3. Save electricity by turning off lights.
4. Walk or cycle instead of using cars.

💡 À retenir : Small actions make a big difference.
