Environment and Sustainability: Practical Solutions for Our Planet

Definition

el medio ambiente

The environment or the natural world around us.

Definition

la sostenibilidad

Sustainability, or the ability to maintain resources for the future.

Definition

el cambio climático

Climate change, referring to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

Moving from Global Problems to Local Actions
1. In Spanish ab initio, you must learn how to turn a broad problema global (global problem) into a solución específica (specific solution).
2. You start with a general concern like la contaminación (pollution) and narrow it down to what a persona (person) or escuela (school) can do.
3. This approach shows that you understand how la sostenibilidad (sustainability) works in the real world.
4. For example, instead of just saying "save the planet," you might suggest reciclar el papel en clase (recycling paper in class).

Note

Focus on practical things you can see and do.
Use simple verbs like ayudar (to help), limpiar (to clean), and ahorrar (to save).

Exam Skills for Spanish ab initio

Paper 1: Writing Tasks
1. You will often write a propuesta (proposal), an artículo (article), or a correo electrónico (email).
2. The task might ask you to explain how your colegio (school) can reducir residuos (reduce waste).
3. If you write to a principal, use a tono formal (formal tone) and mention beneficios para los alumnos (benefits for the students).
4. If you write for a revista juvenil (youth magazine), use a tono informal (informal tone) and make it atractivo (attractive).
Paper 2: Reading and Listening
1. You will see informes (reports) or entrevistas (interviews) about the environment.
2. Authors often discuss a solution but then mention its limitaciones (limitations).
3. A text might say la energía solar es buena (solar energy is good) but then explain it is cara (expensive).
