41/ Describe a person who helps protect the environment 
You should say: 
- Who this person is 
- What he/she does to protect the environment 
- How difficult it is to do that 
- And explain how you feel about the things he/she does 
I’m going to talk about my aunt who is an advocate (someone who supports) 
for the environment. She not only lives this way in her daily life, but also 
participates in many events and protects for the environment in Washington 
D.C. I really admire her green way of living and try to implement it into my own 
life and share these ideas with my students here in Vietnam. Well, let me explain 
exactly what she does. 
In her daily life, she tries to use as little plastic as possible. She and her husband 
use paper bags in their garbage bins, as well as separate it into paper, plastic, 
glass etc. After doing this, they recycle their waste. Moreover, she takes their 
leftovers and composts (making old food material soil) them in their 
backyard which is quite clever I think. Furthermore, they eat a plant-based, 
vegan diet and actually are quite self-sufficient, growing the majority of their 
vegetables in their garden. Apart from all of these daily activities, she 
participates in environmental rallies (environmental demonstrations or 
protests) and even goes around her local community to distribute recycle bins. 
There was one occasion in which she even spoke in front of hundreds of people 
about the environmental benefits of a plant-based diet. All in all, I admire how

she embodies (follows her ideals in her way of being) and promotes her way 
of living to the community. 
Maybe it would be difficult for some to speak in front of that number of people 
which is understandable, but I think it’s quite simple to be environmentally 
friendly in your daily life. I don't think it’s a hassle to recycle, separate garbage, 
choose paper over plastic, etc. I really appreciate my aunt for teaching me these 
kinds of ideals and that even small acts count towards building a more 
sustainable environment. Moreover, she is not pretentious (snobby; feeling
