A. Write an opinion essay on the following topic:
-Our lifestyle in a global world (globalization) is destroying our nature and cultural diversity.

B. Write an opinion essay on the following topic: 
-Do you think coronavirus will change our lifestyle in this globalized world? How may this affect the environment?

C.  Write a magazine article: (add a photograph if you want)
-After a recent trip to a remote area of a developing country, you became aware of the need to change the way we travel (and live). Write about:
      -Why you decided to go on this trip. What eco-tourism is.
      -What experiences you had on this trip (that made you more environmentally conscious): what you saw in terms of poverty, the lifestyle local people had and their               relationship with their environment. Compare that lifestyle to ours.
      -Do not forget to write an introduction and a final reflection on this issue. Try to be persuasive and convince readers to change, too.

REMEMBER:
-Use different paragraphs (introduction, body conclusion)
-Use connectors we have already learnt (avoid "and, but, because")
-Also try to use vocabulary from this unit and the text you read yesterday.
