ቃላት፦ ሳይንስና አካባቢ
Name: ________________________Date: ______________
How it works
The environment is one of the most common topics in exams and in the news: drought, soil erosion, tree planting and clean energy. These words help you describe problems and solutions clearly.
አካባቢ በፈተናዎችና በዜና በብዛት ከሚነሱ ርዕሶች አንዱ ነው፤ ድርቅ፣ የአፈር መሸርሸር፣ ችግኝ መትከልና ንጹሕ ኃይል። እነዚህ ቃላት ችግሮችንና መፍትሔዎችን በግልጽ ለመግለጽ ይረዱዎታል።
When you write about a problem, use cause and effect words: "Deforestation leads to soil erosion." "Emissions cause climate change."
ስለ ችግር ሲጽፉ የምክንያትና የውጤት ቃላትን ይጠቀሙ፦ "Deforestation leads to soil erosion." (የደን ጭፍጨፋ የአፈር መሸርሸርን ያስከትላል።) "Emissions cause climate change."
