I would like to share with you my impressions of a garden that I visited last year, which was full of colour and interest: It’s named Herb Gardens which is located in Kobe City, Japan.
Herb Gardens is very farmous with its lavender [‘lævində] field. And because I’m a big fan of lavender follower, when some friends suggested a visit i immediately [i’mi:djətli] accepted the idea. After a journey of about an hour by train from my apartment, we arrived at Herb Gardens. The garden was so spectacular not only about lavender field but also about the beautiful view to Kobe City.
In the herb garden, people can actually touch and smell about 2000 species of herbs. But the most beautiful path is the conifer [‘kɑnəfər] forest which is inspired by the garden of the Tasha Tudor, a picture book author and gardener. In addition to this, there is also a spot that every visiter does not want to miss. it is the garden of wild Japanese flowers where about 20,000 flowers bloom in season.
For me, it was like a wonderland of colous

Global warming Effects of Global Warming Impacts of humans on the environment Solutions to environment problems Waste/rubbish Litter Recycling and other solutions Nuclear Power: Positives Nuclear Power: Negative
- Global warming
Gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat from the sun
This causes global temperatures to rise
This process is known as the greenhouse effect
Human activity is a major factor in the rise of the GH gases
Factories and vehicles produce exhaust emissions
Many developing countries are becoming industrialized The number of cars on our streets is growing - Effects of Global Warming
Global warming will have a significant impact on our planet
Rising temperature will cause melting of the polar ice caps > Sea levels will rise
More extreme weather conditions
Flooding and Storm may become more common - Impacts of humans on the environment
The increasing world population is putting pressure on natural resources
Fossil fuels like oil and gas are running out
We are destroying wildlife habitats
We have cut down a number of areas of rainforest
This has led to the extinction of many species of animals and plants - Solutions to environment problems
Governments could introduce laws to limit emissions They should invest in renewable energy from solar, wind or water power
Government campaigns should promote recycling Natural areas and wild animals should be protected Individuals should also try to be greener
We should take public transport rather than driving
We should choose products with less packaging
We should recycle product as much as possible - Waste/rubbish
The amount of waster we produce has increased
This problem is a result of our consumer culture
Products are not made to last
If something breaks, we throw it way and buy a new one Advertisers encourage is to buy the newest fashions Packaging is an important part of selling
Most foods are sold in plastics packaging
The amount of household waste is growing - Litter
People do not think about the consequences of dropping rubbish
They assume that somebody is pad to clean the streest
Plastic packaging does not break down easily
Most of the litter seen on streets is fast food packaging - Recycling and other solutions
Companies should make goods that last longer
They should not use so much packaging
Governments should be stricter, about waster produced by companies
We should recycle and reuse useful materials.
Households can use several rubbish bins to separate waste
Recycling saves energy and raw materials. - Nuclear Power: Positives
There are several benefits to build more nuclear power stations
Fossil fuel like oil and gas are running out
Nuclear power is a sustainable energy source
It can be used to produce electricity without wasting natural resources
It could replace the use of natural resources like coal
Nuclear power stations are cleaner than fossil fuel power stations
They could help to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming
The risks of accidents are being reduced
Nuclear Power: negatives
Opponents of nuclear power worry about the safety of power stations
The building of new nuclear power stations is unpopular
Nobody wants to live near one
Nuclear waste disposal is a significant problem
There is currently no way to decontaminate radioactive material
People worry that terrorists could steal radioactive materials
It is safer to produce energy from solar, wind or water power.
