Good question, Channy! "Pollution" refers to dirtying the air, water, or land (like plastic in a river). "Climate change" refers to the long-term changes in global temperatures and weather patterns. Pollution (specifically greenhouse gases) *causes* climate change! public

Break it down! Say: in-ee-KWOL-uh-tee. Notice the strongest stress is on the "KWOL" part. Try saying it slowly first, then speed it up! record_voice_over

Sopheak Pich Teacher 7 hours ago

In English, words often pair together in specific ways (collocations). We don't "make" awareness, we "raise" it (like lifting it higher so people can see it). You can also say "create awareness" or "build awareness", but "raise" is the most natural! trending_up
