Preguntas para hablar (Speaking practice)

  1. Describe the scene: What is happening in the foreground and background, and what mood does it convey?
  2. Speculate about the woman's situation: Why do you think she looks so distressed, and what might her next steps be?
  3. Compare this to your own country: Are similar environmental issues or legal battles common in your region?
  4. Discuss the concept of responsibility: Should individuals or large corporations be primarily responsible for fixing environmental damage?
  5. Evaluate the long-term impact: If these environmental changes continue, how might society change in the coming decades?
