What you'll cover

Talking about the planet 🌍

Persian is written in a **right-to-left script**, and this module gives you the core words to talk about **the environment**. You will learn the key terms, from **محیط زیست (mohit-e zist)**, the environment, to **بازیافت (bazyaft)**, recycling, then practise recognising them before writing about an environmental issue in English.

Building bigger words 🌡️

**گرم شدن کره زمین (garm shodan koreh zamin)**, global warming, is one of the biggest environmental problems. It is built from smaller words: literally the 'warming' of the 'globe of the earth'. Persian often builds environmental terms this way, so break long words into their parts when you read them.

Writing about the environment 📝

You can now recognise the key words. In the exam you might **write about an environmental issue**, and you can weave these terms in. A strong answer names a **problem** (such as آلودگی, pollution, or گرم شدن کره زمین, global warming) and a **solution** (such as بازیافت, recycling, or protecting the جنگل, forest).
