Part 2 - An environmental law I would like my country to introduce
The environmental law I would like my country to introduce is a national single-use plastic ban law. This law would prohibit the production, sale, and free distribution of disposable plastic products, such as plastic shopping bags, straws, food packaging, and thin plastic bags used for takeaway food and fruit. Supermarkets, restaurants, households, and grocery stores would need to replace these products with low-pollution paper, recyclable materials, bamboo, or plant-based packaging. Companies that break the rule would face heavy fines, and repeated violations could lead to business suspension. I do not think this law would be very easy to introduce, especially for small local businesses like food stores and convenience stores, because they may depend heavily on cheap plastic packaging. However, I believe it is achievable. It would cut down plastic waste, reduce microplastic intake for local residents, improve public health in the long run, and push the development of green industries, including recyclable material production and waste recycling. Most importantly, it could raise people's environmental awareness and help form a low-carbon, eco-friendly lifestyle across the country.
Part 2 - An important decision I have made
The most important decision I have made was choosing to give up part of my spare time to prepare for my future study. At that time, I was a third-year university student, and I planned to apply for a master's degree in the future. However, my English score was still below the level I needed, so I was stuck in a dilemma. If I kept all my spare time for hobbies and rest, I would not have enough extra time to practise reading and speaking. But if I gave up some of that time, I could focus more on academic preparation. I wrote down the advantages and disadvantages in my notebook, and I also talked with my parents and my English tutor. They told me that investing time in academic preparation would bring long-term benefits, and that a temporary loss of rest time was acceptable. After thinking about it for three days, I finally made the decision and devoted much of my free time to extra English learning. It was not easy, but I believe it was meaningful for my future choices.
Part 2 - A thing I did to learn another language
I'd like to talk about how I watched English films and shows to improve my English listening and speaking skills. The language I was learning was English. I had studied it for many years, but I still struggled with listening comprehension and natural spoken expressions. So I decided to use a more practical method. I watched English films and classic comedies, such as Friends and Mr. Bean. At first, I turned on both Chinese and English subtitles. Whenever I came across useful daily phrases or slang, I wrote them down in my notebook and repeated the lines out loud several times. After finishing one episode, I replayed some segments without subtitles to test whether I could follow the dialogue. I stuck to this routine for nearly three months. This method helped me a lot because the lines were real daily English used by native speakers, not rigid textbook language. Gradually, I got used to their speaking speed, tone, and casual wording. My listening improved, and some memorized sentences could also be used directly in daily conversations and speaking exams. At the beginning, it felt a little difficult, but as I made steady progress, I became more confident.
Part 2 - A perfect job I would like to have in the future
The perfect job I would like to have in the future is to be a wildlife conservation journalist. I first learned about this occupation from a nature TV show I watched two years ago. In the program, the reporter followed field researchers deep into natural reserves, recorded the living conditions of endangered animals, and published articles and short videos to raise public awareness of environmental protection. I was deeply touched by how this kind of work could truly make a difference to wild species. To qualify for this job, I would need professional knowledge of environmental science and biology, so that I could understand wildlife protection projects accurately. I would also need strong communication skills, because the job may involve working with researchers, conservation organizations, and international teams. Physical fitness is also essential, because the work often requires long-distance field trips and outdoor work. I think this job is perfect for me for several reasons. I have always been passionate about nature and animals, so I would not feel tired even when doing tough fieldwork. It would also allow me to combine my interest in writing and communication with a meaningful public cause. Finally, it would give me chances to travel to forests, wetlands, and grasslands, which satisfies my curiosity about the natural world.
Part 3 - Learning a language
I think the best way to learn a language depends on different learning goals. Studying alone is useful for building basic vocabulary and grammar, because learners can set their own pace without distractions. However, group learning is more suitable for practising speaking. Partners can correct each other's pronunciation and have real conversations, which creates an immersive environment and reduces the fear of speaking. In my opinion, the most effective choice is to combine both ways. It is also important to balance input and output. Input includes listening and reading, while output includes speaking and writing. Instead of only memorizing words in a mechanical way, learners should expose themselves to the language every day through media, reading, communication, and classes.
