Male Female

That's a good question, actually. I am always exposed to many online videos from either Instagram or YouTube. They are really helpful to me because they teach me a lot. For example, I have learned many cooking recipes from online videos, and I tried to make them for my kids, and they were incredible. I also watch online videos to learn English and to improve my listening skills. As you know, many English websites are available now. Recently, I watched an English online video that taught me how to spell vocabulary correctly. It described every single detail about pronunciation and helped me identify my mistakes and learn from them. The website is called BBC Learning English, and from that moment, I added that video to my favorites list, and I keep watching it when I need help. So, in my opinion, online videos are very important, but you have to find the right website to watch or learn from because, as you know, not all websites are trustworthy.

Who do you think should be more responsible for protecting the environment, individuals or the government?

I think both should take responsibility. The government can make strict low-spilled recycling systems and give more money for green projects. However, individuals also matter. We can save water, reduce waste, and the public transport. Neither side can solve environmental problems alone, so they need to work together.
