ENGLISH ESSAY

In groups, Ms Thivilojana gave us a task of writing an  essay. We need to discuss about the points and finish it within a tutorial session. The topic given to us is based on ways to reduce pollution.
Ways to Reduce Pollution
  As we continue to live and breathe on this planet, we must become more energy conscious. Use of natural resources, consumption and waste are all at its peak. Pollution is always the main problem. There are several ways to reduce pollution such as organising campaigns, reducing number of vehicles on read and minimising the usage of pesticides. 
  First, organising campaigns is one of the several ways to increase awareness on environmental pollution to public. There are few activities that can be carried out such as planting. Trees can improve the air quality of the environment by filtering harmful dust and pollutants such as carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. Besides, by practising 3R’s ( Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ) we can save natural resources, protect the environment and save money at the same time. 
  Secondly, by carpooling to get to work, one can help reduce the number of vehicles on road. Apart from that, use an energy-conserving grade motor oil and keep tyres properly inflated and aligned can help reduce air pollution. Less vehicles on the road can reduce pollution. This means better health for us and the environment. 
  Thirdly, steps to prevent water pollution include minimising the usage of pesticides. Use natural fertilisers for vegetations. Next, dispose of hazardous materials, such as paint, motor oil and toxics responsibly. Do not litter, especially in or near water resources. Organise a community clean up event near a river or lake to raise awareness to public. Hence, our community can enjoy a cleaner environment. 
  Lastly, humans have caused pollution. It is important for the the whole community to act as a whole and change that will make the planet habitable in the years to come.  


REFLECTION
As i wrote this essay, i learnt about methods to locate, extract and arrange the information in a more effective way. Critical thinking skills involved as i need to brainstorm on ways to reduce pollution and explain their reasons. During the process of research, i able to identify methods to reduce pollution, hence, i get to elaborate the sentences more specifically. Moreover, i hope that through these assignments able to help me improve further on my communication skills.
