Reading, Speaking and Writing Practice on Environmental Issues - Medio Ambiente

Help your students talk about the climate crisis in real, meaningful Spanish with this ready-to-use reading and speaking activity on “El impacto de la contaminación”.​

This resource is built around the opinion text of Marco, a environmentally aware teenager who reflects on pollution, plastic waste, sustainable transport, global reforestation projects and everyday eco‑friendly habits at home. Students work with a rich, exam‑style reading passage followed by comprehension, discussion and writing tasks that recycle key topic vocabulary and structures needed for GCSE, IGCSE, high school Spanish and can also support A‑Level as a shorter skills lesson or revision task.​

What’s included:

1 authentic-style opinion text on the environment (approx. 600–700 words) in clear, accessible Spanish.​
5 comprehension questions in Spanish focusing on detail, inference and global understanding.​
5 communicative speaking prompts for pair or whole-class discussion about solutions to environmental problems.​
1 guided writing task “Mi impacto en el planeta” (150–200 words) where learners compare their own habits with Marco’s using opinion phrases and justifications.​
