for a small price.

3. Discuss with your partner the disadvantages of using plastic bags.
(Hãy thảo luận với bạn của bạn những bất lợi của việc sử dụng túi ni lông)
Suggestions:

● Environmental Damage. Plastic bags have been known to cause a lot of

environmental damage. A single plastic bag can take up to 1000 years, to decay
completely. This makes the bags stay in environments longer, in turn leading to
great build-up on the natural landscape.
● Threat To Animal Life. Plastic bags not only have adverse effects on our natural
habitats, but have also been found to be responsible for the death of many
animals, mainly on account of the suffocation encountered on eating them.
● Suffocation.Not only animals, infants and young children have also been reported to
have lost their life, on account of plastic bags. Since plastic bags are thin and airtight as
well, children often end up blocking their mouths and nostrils with them. In case they
are not being monitored by an adult, this leads to suffocation and, in some cases, even
death.
4. Role-play

some vegetables on my balcony.

● Yes, of course. That’d be great if I could.
B:
