Question

Imagine that you have only ever lived in the arctic, and have never seen a swamp or palm trees. Or, imagine you grew up in the desert and have never seen the ocean, or a lake. Now, imagine that you are thrust into that completely foreign environment. What would you notice? What details would you remember? You will use this perspective to write a two- to three-minute speech, clearly describing the new environment with vivid and imaginative details. Imagine that you are presenting the speech to a group of scientists back home. Your speech will show your reaction to the new environment, and must clearly communicate the reality of the situation. Because this is a formal speech, be sure to follow all standard grammatical rules and proper English. Write out your speech and present it to your friends and family as if they were members of the scientific group.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

I was subjected to participate in an exploration in a tropical forest, an environment completely opposite to the environment in which I lived throughout my life and with an environmental, physical and chemical composition totally different from what I know. Upon arriving in Amazonia he was perplexed by the beauty of the place, obviously. The backdrops were more beautiful than the other and I was impressed that such environments really existed in the real world and not just in manipulated photos.

Our guide started to speak the name of the trees we passed and I was very impressed with the variety of species in the same area. I thought to myself: "Is the human being really, giving up scenarios like this, to establish monoculture?" it seemed unlikely to me that the answer to my question was "yes" and I can't imagine how anyone has the courage to destroy environments like this for economic reasons, since everything I saw on the site is above money, besides being imprecifiable.

Many of you may think that I was just impressed by the change in the environment, since I spent my life in a dry, lifeless and often inhospitable place, but I am sure you would change your mind if, like me, you witnessed the cool and extremely pleasant that the Amazon has. Our guide explained to me that this climate is caused mainly by large trees, which grow meters and meters above the ground and that there are so many that create a type of "roof" in the forest, reducing the impact of the sun and the tropical climate that we can find in Brazil. In addition to these trees, I came across plants of the most varied sizes, flowers of the most varied colors and aromas, delicious fruits and very high quality, even without having received any type of phytochemical compound from agriculture and birds, ah ... the birds, so colorful and different ones that looked like cartoon characters, as well as other animals that appeared during our visit.

When I thought I had already seen many beauties, we took a tour of the Amazon River. I was, once again, to see that the river was more beautiful than the images I saw in the magazines and while our guide told us about the medicinal power of the plants in the forest, I was only able to visualize the trees they touched, with their crowns in the river, creating the biggest fairy tale scenario that I have ever seen and that no human being is able to recreate. I imagined myself being inserted in a scene from "A Midsummer Night's Dream", or in some tale by the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen, but it was better, it was real, palpable and imposing, but at the same time fragile. Our trip is over and I couldn't help wanting to live there forever.
