“It’s sad to say, but there have been too many times I’ve seen terrible examples of plastic waste. The one time that really sticks in my mind was about 2 months ago when I visited a very famous and beautiful lake, just a stone's throw from my hometown. The whole area is famous for its natural beauty and scenery, and has become a very popular place for tourists to visit.




I went there with a couple of my friends, as we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy some of the wonderful natural scenery the country has to offer.




I can still clearly remember as we took a path down to the lake, there were plastic bottles and bags tossed everywhere all the way down to the shore of the lake. The lake itself was in an even worse state, with plastic bags, bottles and discarded styrofoam boxes floating on the water, which was a pretty depressing sight. 




It was obvious that so many ignorant visitors to the lake bring along some food or drinks to have a picnic, leaving their waste behind, or just tossing it into the lake without a thought about the harm they are doing.




I was so disgusted and ashamed by the sight that we took lots of photos to post on some public social media groups, and try to bring some attention to this environmental mess. It was truly heartbreaking to see such a beautiful place destroyed by people's ignorance, as well as making my blood boil, that nobody seemed to care.

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)

These expressions of gratitude traverse a spectrum of sincerity and formality. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply say "thank you," "thanks," or even add a casual "cheers" to express appreciation. When gratitude is deeply felt, phrases like "I'm sincerely grateful" and "I'm truly thankful" convey the depth of one's appreciation. In informal settings, a heartfelt thank you might be expressed with "you're a lifesaver" or "you're the best," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I extend my heartfelt thanks" or "I wish to express my deepest gratitude," while emphasizing that kindness does not go unnoticed. Politeness tempers the thanks in expressions such as "I want to say thank you" and "your help means a lot to me," demonstrating genuine gratitude. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the gratitude, as seen in expressions like "I owe you one" or "you're a legend." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their gratitude with statements like "I'm most grateful" or "your assistance is greatly appreciated," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, gratitude is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "your kindness has not gone unnoticed" or "you have my deepest thanks," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
