The environment Hi there! Many believe that individuals can do little to improve the environment. Only governments and large companies can make a real difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree? I think that it's actually a difficult question to answer uniquely. I think that there are at least two opposite positions to this problem and both of them might be true. I'm sure that everyone is able to influence on most problems and processes which are happening around him or her. Of course, this action mightn't often give a serious result, but at the same time there's always a chance that this action might affect somehow. I guess that there's another way how an action of one person might influence on the problem. Everyone is able to influence on people around him or her telling about how important this problem is and what actions every can do to change it. It might cause that people start uniting around the problem. This action might force the government and larg companies to pay attention on the problems. I think if we are talking about the environment, everyone can influence on it. If everyone contacts with the environment carefully thinking how not to harm it, this action will be a good decision for everyone. But if a person is really worried about the issue of the environment, he or she might join to a social movement based on desire to solve the environment problems. If we are considering some global probles, it's not enough only a person to solve them. People who think so are right, too. But how I wrote above, it's better to do anything than not to do. Uniting people around a problem is the best action everyone can do.

I'm sure that everyone is able to have influence on most problems and processes which are happening around him or her. Of course, this action mightn't often give a serious result, but at the same time there's always a chance that this action might have an effect somehow. I guess that there's another way how that an action of one person might have influence on the problem. Everyone is able to have influence on people around him or her talking about how important this problem is and what actions everyone can do to change it. It might cause that those people to start uniting around the problem. This action might force the government and large companies to pay attention on to the problems.

I think if we are talking about the environment, everyone can have influence on it. If everyone contacts interacts with the environment carefully thinking how not to harm it, this action will be a good decision for everyone. But if a person is really worried about the issue of the environment, he or she might join to a social movement based on desire to solve the environmental problems.

The environment

Hi there!

Many believe that individuals can do little to improve the environment (better: ...that there is little that individuals can do to improve the environment). Only governments and large companies can make a real difference. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

I think that it's actually a difficult question to answer uniquely (I would use a different word here, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean to say). I think that there are at least two opposite positions to this problem and both of them might be true.

I'm sure that everyone is able to have an influence on most problems and processes which are happening around him or her*. Of course, this action mightn't** often give a serious result, but at the same time there's always a chance that this action might have an effect somehow. I guess that there's another way how an action of one person might have an influence on the problem. Everyone is able to influence on people around him or her* by telling them about how important this problem is and what actions everyone can do to change it. It might cause that people to start uniting around the problem. This action might force the government and large companies to pay attention onto the problems.

I think if we are talking about the environment, everyone can have an influence on it. If everyone contactsinteracts with the environment carefully thinking how taking care not to harm it, this action that will would be a good decision for everyone. But if a person is really worried about the issue of the environment, he or she might join to a social movement based on the desire to solve the environmental problems.

If we are considering some global problems, it's only one person is not enough only a person to solve them. People who think so are right, too. But how as I wrote above, it's better to do anything something than not to do nothing at all. Uniting people around a problem is the best action everyone can dotake.

*In English it is fine to just say 'them' as the gender neutral singular instead of 'him or her'
**'mightn't' is grammatically correct but it is not very common. 'might not' is almost always used instead

Hope this helped! Overall your English is very good, I understood all of it (except for the word in red), there were just a few grammar problems and things I tweaked to make them sound more natural in English
