You have to talk continuously.
Now Im going to give a talk about education. This question has become very essential recently and worth discussing it.
* To my mind, education is so important nowadays because it influences our future and welfare. It is thought to develop intelligence. It so happens that higher education helps you find a better job and higher pay. Its all about money, of course. In fact, in real life it may be different. But to me, its all prejudices.
* It is very important to say that compulsory education is 11 years. The law sets down it. There are 3 stages primary, secondary, and high school. If you wish, you can go to college instead of high school. Parents are responsible for their children during this period. They must provide conditions for their compulsory education within 11 years.
* Honestly speaking, my favourite subject at school is English. I am good at it and my parents say I am cut out for it. I plan to go on learning English further. Maybe, I shall got to university and become a translator. That kind of thing.
* It doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that education is the most important thing in human life. It makes us develop imagination and thinking. Also, it helps move forward on the base of the previous knowledge and experience of our predecessors. I am grateful to my country that I can study for free. This is the greatest achievement.
Thats all I wanted to tell you about education.

You have to talk continuously.
Now Im going to talk about school exams.
* To begin with, Im in ninth grade, so according to the law, I take two mandatory exams and two optional exams. Two mandatory exams are Russian language and Mathematics. Additionally, I opted for English and Physics. Im good at these subjects. That kind of thing.
* To tell the truth, I dont like taking exams. I feel nervous. It doesnt help me sail through. I have to work hard. Moreover, I dont think that tests are good to check up my knowledge. To me, they are not useful at all. I cannot see any connection between my learning, tests, and practical work. I mean real adult life. Top score doesnt guarantee that I will use this in my future job. And, of course, it wont help me choose the good job either. Nothing of the kind.
* I have to admit there is nothing new in my preparation for the most difficult exams or tests. I do revision, as usual. I read things again and make notes in order to remember facts, dates, and formulae. A better way to get ready, though, is a cram session, of course. Thats the most efficient thing for me. We get together, ask tricky questions, and thus we close gaps in each others knowledge. Thats the way it goes.
* Of course, I dont like school exams. My attitude is more negative than positive. I have put up with them, though. If you cant break a wall, you can go around it, as the saying goes. So Ive adapted, and now I am waiting for graduation to find a job and develop myself.
Thats all I wanted to tell you about school exams.

* It goes without saying there are a lot of bad things and drawbacks of those electronic gadgets.

* I think if people should take drastic steps to protect endangered animals. There is a special book called The Red List, where all endangered species are listed down. Its forbidden to hunt those animals.
* I believe that zoos are necessary. They have more benefits than drawbacks. Zookeepers take care of them and feed them properly. There is also veterinary help in zoos. Their cages look like natural conditions. Each animals living quarters are made as close to the natural places they inhabit. It is very important for cities, in particular. Children and adults learn a lot about wild animals in zoos.
* In my opinion, we must protect all animals, no matter if they are endangered or not. My attitude is poor and sometimes I feel despaired. I wish I could help and save endangered animals. I am sure that people should stop killing endangered animals. Period.

You have to talk continuously.
Now I am going to tell you about ecological problems. Those problems have become very essential to our life recently.
* In my opinion, nowadays, many people are concerned about the environment because deforestation, water and air pollution, waste and garbage accumulation, global warming, animal extinction begin to influence our life. They threaten our future. Im sure industrial factories do the most harm in the world, though, and we have to solve this problem first of all. I mean its industrial pollution.
* Of course, there are many ecological organisations in the world. They stand out for protecting the ecology, recycling plastic, glass and litter, saving endangered animals, growing plants and so on. It is what all people can really do. Also, those organisations call on governments to pass strict laws against environmental violations. We all also can collect garbage separately, plant and grow trees, take part in volunteering. I suspect its not enough, though.
* To tell the truth, pollution seriously affects peoples health. We breathe exhaust fumes with lead and poisons in the air. Also, we eat contaminated food. Water becomes dirty and needs to be purified. Dirty air and water do harm to our health. It is dangerous to all people on the Earth.
* My attitude to ecological problems is very serious. My friends and I recycle paper and sort litter, plat trees, and volunteer in our local area. We ourselves can always help nature. On the other hand, though, I think we have to change the industrial influence on ecology and get rid of danger of industrial waste, because they are the main cause of pollution. All other of problems arise from it.

You have to talk continuously.
Now I am going to tell you about ecological problems. Those problems are becoming more and more disturbing nowadays.
* To my mind, protecting the environment is important because environment means our planet, the Earth. We no other Earth to live on, though. If we dont care about it, we dont care about ourselves. There are many serious threats like water and air pollution, waste accumulation, overfishing, soil degradation, global warming. Ice melting, and animal extinction. However, I guess all those problems are caused by overpopulation.
* I live in a big city. So the biggest problem is air pollution because of cars. They emit a lot of exhaust gases every day, every minute. The exhausts contain lead and other toxic substances. It doesnt take a scientist to understand they do harm to our health. Thats the biggest problem we have in my local area.
* Honestly speaking, my classmates and I try our best to help to protect the environment. We collect garbage, separate the trash, plant trees, volunteer at school. We think, though, its not enough because factories produce more waste and trash than we can collect. People must change industries somehow. Thats the point.
* Overall, my attitude to environmental problems is very serious. They all are dangerous to our future. I would begin to solve them, though, another way. For example, it is necessary to find the initial cause and cope with it, because other problems seem to me secondary.
Thats all that I wanted to tell you about environmental problems.
