Review vocabulary 1&2

1. Positive And Negative Impacts Of Tourism On The Environment

A. Tourism is a flourishing industry that offers both positive and negative effects on a nation. Inbound tourism creates jobs, increasing the flow of money into the economy and contributing to the development of infrastructure such as airports, roads, shops, golf courses, restaurants, and hotels. It also generates revenue by attracting people to visit tourist destinations for vacations, weddings, or cultural celebrations.

B. However, tourism also has negative impacts. It leads to environmental destruction due to sudden events like political upheaval, terrorism, natural disasters, and adverse weather conditions, which can cause significant damage to the environment. The construction of airports, hotels, and pubs often involves cutting down trees, causing animals and birds to lose their shelter.

C. Tourism's expansion leads to overuse of water, habitat loss, and pollution. It fails to provide genuine travel experiences and social benefits, causing depletion of natural resources. Other negative impacts include soil erosion, habitat loss, increased pollution, and stress on threatened species. The tourism industry contributes to 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with transportation accounting for 90%.

2. Inventions

D. The invention I'd like to talk about today is none other than my current smartphone, namely the Nokia C20. I bought it two years ago from a renowned phone retailing system, The mobile phone world.

E. My phone is kind of a modernized personal digital assistant with wireless connectivity, which is compact in design with a high-resolution touch screen, multi-touch interface, and QWERTY keyboard. The gadget is also designed with software for built-in basic apps such as a calendar, contact list, clock, weather, and maps. Thousands of innovative apps in a wide range of categories are available to download that can keep me entertained, productive, and organized.

F. But I sometimes spend too much time on social networking apps on my phone, like Facebook or YouTube, because they might be so addictive. The random occurrence of interesting articles and videos is really attractive to me. In addition, the feature that allows me to freely share my life with friends and others also creates a sense of urge for me to want to use social networks more.
