Please include a rationale for why you have chosen this authentic material (approximately 100 words):
The content chosen should be pertinent to the interests and concerns of the target audience. Young individuals are more likely to interact with content that
directly affects their lives and futures and frequently have an increasing knowledge of environmental issues. Language-challenging resources are beneficial
for advanced students. By exposing students to a natural speech pattern, and sophisticated vocabulary, real resources like the one I’m utilising help them
develop their language skills. Content with real-world context is especially beneficial. Since environmental issues are urgent global concerns that transcend
national boundaries, they are a great subject for students to link language study to conversations and real-world problems.
