Topic 29 Has human harmed the Earth or made it a better place? People have learned how to turn wild natural areas to farm land, how to exploit (использовать) minerals to adapt their needs

People have learned how to turn wild natural areas to farm land, how to exploit (использовать) minerals to adapt their needs, how to build roads and houses to expand their territories. People continuously improve their knowledge and develop technologies to improve their lives. It is undeniable that these activities of human beings make their lives better than ever before. Nevertheless, those activities also cause side-effects (побочные эффекты) to the Earth because of pollution, deforestation, and exaggerated (чрезмерное, преувеличивать) natural resource exploitation.

Nowadays, pollution becomes one of the most concerned problems. Because of the increasingly expanded factories, the industrialized areas, the burning of population etc, too much pollutant spills (проливаются, рассеиваются) out everyday. Consequently, all of these things cause bad effect to the Earth. The purity (чистота) of atmosphere is reduced seriously, the Earth is continuously warmed up, and ozone layer is holed (перфорировать, разряжается). Additionally, forest is asking for help in desperation. For last few decades, the forest areas have been reduced to 50 percent because of human deforestation. Green forestland of the Earth can be compared to the lungs of human. How healthy you are if their your lungs are trespassed (причинение вреда). I am sure that you will get more difficult with aspiration (проник. инородных тел в дых. пути); as a result, your health will be affect badly. From this example, we can infer (презюмировать, делать вывод, делать предположение) that how serious problem our Earth has to face with. I wonder how long it can endure (продолжаться, вытерпеть, терпеть).

Researchers show that the natural means (resources) is limited, but today, they are exploited so increasingly to adapt infinite (бесконечный, безграничный) human needs that someday, all mineral can be ended up. Because of serious pollution, alarming deforestation and progressive mineral exploitation, the ecosystem becomes unbalance. Consequently a lot natural calamities (стихийные бедствия) happen each year such as flood, hurricanes. A lot wild living creatures are exposed (подвергаются) to narrow (тесный, узкий) place of shelter and lacking (нехватает) foods. For these reasons, the Earth will become unhealthy.

In conclusion, the human beings harm the Earth. Human beings as well as their dear planet, the Earth, have been badly suffered by what caused by humans themselves. I hope that humans are soon aware of those problems so that they can have suitable policies in order to not only improve their lives but also keep and maintain the Earth fresh and green (сохранить Землю свежей и зеленой).
