    Hello, and thank you all for coming.

    I know that
    you’re all busy students and I appreciate that you’re
    here today.
    So, what do you think of when you hear the words
    climate change? You probably think // about warmer
    temperatures↗, floods↗, droughts↗, huge storms↗ … // and
    maybe polar bears. That’s what I’m going to talk about
    today – the polar bear and the human threats to this
    beautiful, powerful, majestic animal.
    It’s widely known that polar bears are now an
    endangered species. There are only // about 26,000
    polar bears // in the world today↗ // and it’s believed
    // that most // of them will be gone // by 2050 // if nothing
    changes.

    There are several threats to polar bears. 总起


    The biggest threat is the loss of sea ice habitat. Topic Sentence
    Climate change damages the sea ice, which polar Details
    bears depend on for survival.
    The disappearing ice has several negative effects. For
    example, polar bears have problems searching for
    seals, their main source of food. Polar bears need to
    stand on ice to hunt for seals. So when there isn’t
    enough ice, the bears become hungry.
    A second threat is contact between humans and Topic Sentence
    polar bears. When the sea ice melts, polar bears Details
    have to spend more time on land. When polar bears
    go near towns, people sometimes kill the bears to
    protect themselves.
    A third human threat // to polar bears is industrial Topic Sentence
    development, such as // oil production↗ // and shipping.
    As the ice disappears, the ocean is growing. This Details
    means more oil production in the Arctic and an
    increased threat of oil spills. Contact with oil will kill
    polar bears. And the oil ships are also dangerous to
    polar bears.

    However, there is good news: it may not be too


    late to save the polar bear. Here’s what people are 总起
    already doing.
    First, Arctic communities are trying to reduce contact Topic Sentence
    between humans and polar bears. More lights in Details
    public places, electric fences and warning plans when
    bears enter towns all help to protect both polar bears
    and humans.
    Second, governments have made laws which limit Topic Sentence
    the amount of oil production in the Arctic. And Details
    environmental groups are creating plans to make
    Arctic shipping safer.
    Third, people are trying to stop climate change. Topic Sentence
    And you can, too. To help save polar bears, you Details
    should use less electricity and petrol. And you
    could tell government leaders your opinion about
    climate change. It might also be a good idea to get
    involved with organizations which are working to
    save polar bears.
    So, to summarize, the main threat to polar bears is Conclusion
    loss of habitat due to climate change. Related threats
    are human contact and industrial development.
    If people don’t make changes quickly, polar bears
    may disappear.
