Suggested answer:

Discussion:

A: As we have learnt, the blue whale population is decreasing rapidly for several reasons. Today, we need to discuss what each individual should do to protect the blue whales.

B: Well, I think people should stop buying and eating whale meat. If there is no demand for whale meat, then the whales will not be hunted.

C: I totally agree with you. We should also raise people’s awareness about plastic pollution that can cause the death of blue whales.

A: Yes, unfortunately, there’re still people who aren’t concerned about the plastic pollution in our oceans. We should all reduce our plastic use because plastic pollution is the greatest threat to ocean life.

Summary:

Our group focused on two main threats: hunting blue whales and plastic pollution. We all agree that people should stop buying and eating whale meat. If there is no demand for whale meat, then they won’t be hunted for commercial purposes. We also think that there are still people who aren’t concerned about plastic pollution. We suggest that there should be more awareness raising activities. Each individual should reduce their plastic use. This in turn will help reduce the amount

of plastics that is released or dumped in oceans.
