It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
А почему » Environment is the nature » ? Должно быть » The environment is nature …»
Татьяна Викторовна, с the в начале соглашусь, хотя по мне так и без артикля неплохо, звучит как слово из словарной статьи с дефиницией. В вопроснике дают без артикля, я и не стала мудрить. А around us считаю лимитирующим определением к nature.
Всё равно не согласна! Nature — природа, без артикля.
Это хорошо, что Вы не согласны, есть для меня повод повторить употребление артиклей.
А как насчёт вот этого в задании билета: Let’s talk about environment?
Данную глупость от составителей вопросов я объяснить не могу. Либо «Let’s talk about THE environment», либо «Let’s talk about environmental problems».
Вот! Это я и хотела услышать. Спасибо!
