本期节目话题背景
最近,有同学问了这样一道题“Describe a time when you saw a lot of plastic waste (e.g. in a park, on the beach etc.)”。说实话,谈到这个话题我真的很失望,因为我看到这种场景我看到过无数次,公园里、海滩上都常常出现很多垃圾。这次我想聊的是不久前的一次经历,我跟朋友去了一个自然湖泊公园,我们以为会享受到非常完美的自然风光,到了那里却让大家非常失落,这是为什么呢?咱们一起来聊一聊吧~
我们看到塑料瓶子和袋子被扔在湖边,湖面上漂浮着塑料袋、瓶子和废弃的泡沫塑料盒。于是我们拍了很多照片,并发布到社交媒体上,试图引起人们对这种情况的关注。

本期节目话题参考文本
It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone’s throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.
I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.
I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded Styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight.
It was obvious that so many callous visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.
We were so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on social media to try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people’s ignorance, and even worse, that nobody seemed to care.
