Q. Tell me, what do you think are the greatest environmental 
problems facing your country at present? 
Answer:
There is hardly any country in the world which is not facing 
serious environmental problems today. However, some of the greatest 
environmental problems, my country is facing today, include extreme 
high temperatures in some parts of my country (due to the greenhouse 
effects) and surface water contamination because of many industrial 
toxic and plastic waste. In fact, the high-temperature problem is so 
serious in my country that some parts of it are becoming like deserts 
slowly but surely. Then, there is the issue of serious air pollution as well, 
especially, in the big cities of my country. 
Q. And what has been done so far to solve these problems? 
Answer:
To deal with these serious environmental problems, my 
country has taken slow but effective steps such as, planting more and 
more trees in the affected areas and dredging the rivers and lakes in 
order to keep a larger reserve of water so that they can help keep 
temperatures low during the hot season. Besides, my country has also 
taken steps like closing down coal-based industries slowly in order to 
limit the carbon emission and greenhouse effects. Finally, my 
government is also trying its best to increase awareness about the 
dangers of environmental problems among its citizens. 
Q. How successful would you say these measures have been? 
Answer:
I would say that these measures are bringing some success 
slowly but surely because the high-temperature problem in the affected 
areas of my country has not got any worse during the last couple of 
years. Besides, many people these days are also seen to becoming 
serious about keeping their neighbourhoods clean and garbage free. 
However, we have some serious environmental problems, which have 
compounded over the decades if not centuries, and therefore, we will 
have to work even harder and be patient before we can achieve any 
measurable success.
