Hi
I’d like to suggest a news story for you to follow as part of your IELTS preparation: the story of the oil spill from the container ship Rena in New Zealand.
A common IELTS topic is environmental issues, and most news on the oil spill talks about the immediate and future environmental consequences of this disaster.
If you haven’t seen or heard about the oil spill, have a look at the photos and read the summary of the story in ‘Oil spill disaster on New Zealand shoreline‘.
To read about how the oil spill could affect New Zealand’s wildlife, read the article ‘Rena oil spill could take years for wildlife and environment to recover‘.
Let’s hope that the environmental impacts are not going to be as serious as predicted.
Pete
