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.
