19/11/24: Unit 1 – Supplement – The Abstract

The environment plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. It encompasses everything around us, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we live on. Unfortunately, human activities have increasingly put this delicate balance at risk. Industrial pollution, deforestation, overconsumption of natural resources, and the widespread use of fossil fuels are some of the major causes of environmental degradation.

One of the most significant threats we face today is climate change. Rising temperatures, caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions, are leading to more frequent natural disasters, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. These changes disrupt ecosystems, threaten wildlife, and endanger human populations, particularly those in vulnerable regions.

Preserving the environment is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of all living organisms. Sustainable practices, such as reducing waste, transitioning to renewable energy, and protecting natural habitats, are essential steps toward environmental recovery. Governments, industries, and individuals all have a role to play in protecting the planet. By making environmentally conscious decisions and advocating for strong environmental policies, we can help ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.

    1). Well, in my opinion, I would classify this text as an article. First of all, it exceeds the typical word count for an abstract (more than 200 words). Secondly, it couldn’t be considered an informative abstract, despite the scientific subject, because it has no methodology, purpose of research, or results. Thirdly, its length and detail make it less specific.
    2). PARTS OF THE TEXT
    A. Introduction: The importance of the environment…
    B. Problem: Causes of environmental degradation (pollution, deforestation…).
    C. Consequences: Effects of climate change on ecosystems (rising temperatures due to gas emissions).
    D. Solutions: Preserving the environment (reducing waste, using renewable energy…).
    E. Conclusion: We all have to play a role in protecting the planet for generations to come.
    3). TITLE: Preserving the Environment: Threats and Solutions.
    4). PURPOSE OF THE TEXT: The purpose is to inform and raise awareness about the critical situation of the environment and the urgent need to adopt sustainable practices.

    I agree with César that this piece of text is not an abstract but an article because an abstract is a brief summary of a larger document, often used in academic or research papers to give an overview of the main points, and in this case this text provides more detailed information and explanations, making it an article to inform and educate the reader and does not follow the known structure of an abstract which is the IMRAD model.
    In this article I can identify the following components:
    – Introduction: The first paragraph introduces the environment and highlights the threats that human activities cause.
    -Problem Description: The second paragraph focuses on climate change as one of the most critical threats to the environment.
    -Solution: The third paragraph emphasizes the importance of sustainability and the roles of different entities in protecting the planet.
    The title would be: A Call to Protect Our Planet
    The purpose of the article is to raise awareness about environmental issues, particularly climate change, and to encourage actions that promote sustainability and protect the Earth’s ecosystems for future generations.

    I believe the statement is an article, as the other students mentioned above, because it does not follow the structure of an abstract. This is because it lacks the defined structure for Descriptive Abstract or Informative Abstract, such as: introducing the subject with recommended words, IMRAD, key phrases, results, and conclusions.

    The parts of this article that I have been able to identify are as follows:

    Introduction
    The environment plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. It encompasses everything around us, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we live on. Unfortunately, human activities have increasingly put this delicate balance at risk.

    Problems
    Industrial pollution, deforestation, overconsumption of natural resources, and the widespread use of fossil fuels are some of the major causes of environmental degradation.
    One of the most significant threats we face today is climate change. Rising temperatures, caused by excessive greenhouse gas emissions, are leading to more frequent natural disasters, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels.

    Solutions
    Preserving the environment is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of all living organisms. Sustainable practices, such as reducing waste, transitioning to renewable energy, and protecting natural habitats, are essential steps toward environmental recovery.

    Conclusion
    Governments, industries, and individuals all have a role to play in protecting the planet. By making environmentally conscious decisions and advocating for strong environmental policies, we can help ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come.

    Title
    Preserving the environment: a shared responsibility

    Purpose
    The purpose of this article is to inform and raise awareness about environmental issues so that readers, businesses, and governments can adopt practices that respect the environment.

    I consider that this piece of writing it’s an article because that does not have the structure of an abstract. An abstract in academic papers should contain the following components: purpose, aim, methodology, results and conclusion. Depening on what it contains, it can be considered and informative or descriptive abstract.
    The article briefly presents thoughts about environmental care and the moderns behavier of people.
    I think a tittle for the article could be “Impacts of human behavier on the environment”

    In my opinion, this text is a summary, since it has components of this, such as an introduction since it presents the topic of environmental degradation and its causes, the main body because it focuses on climate change as a major threat and its consequences, and a conclusion because it highlights the importance of preserving the environment and sustainable practices.

    2. Identify its components, give it a tittle and determine its purpose.
    Title: The delicate balance: environmental challenges and sustainable solutions.
    The main purpose of this summary is to provide a concise overview of the environmental problems facing the planet, particularly climate change, and to highlight the need for sustainable practices to address these challenges. Its objective is to inform the reader about the urgency of environmental protection and to encourage action.
