TOEFL practice essay! Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Our current way of life will have a negative impact on future generations. It seems that each year passes faster than the previous one, it feels like the earth is spinning faster and faster as the years pass by. I would say it is related with our way of life that is having an impact on us and on the future generations. On first place, there have been many negative changes on the earth, talking about the environment you can notice the extreme changes in the weather;in my case, my country is so much hotter than it used to be. Also, some cities look grey and cover by smog, and there is less water in rivers and less places where the water is drinkable. All of this is due to our mindset of consumerism and want to reign over everything. No only environment has been affected, also people, what I mean with this statement is that people are getting sicker than before they did. Take as an example young people; it is more common to see them suffering from illnesses that normally just old people have. What about cancer, the rate of people affected has increased exponentially in the last years. Now we have this new illness called “Coronavirus” that is presumably created to reduce population. For me, in a couple of years our lifestyle of consumerism could lead us to a dead end, all the changes that we have seen so far now are just a warning of what is coming for the future generations.
