TED-Ed | Why cities need trees

Learning a good range of environment vocabulary is a must as the environment is one of the most common topics to feature in the IELTS exam.

It could be the main topic of your speaking test, you may be asked to write about it, or the environment could come up in either the reading or listening parts of your exam.

You might also need environment vocabulary when answering questions about other subjects such as where you live, transportation or travel.

Explore what makes trees a vital part of cities, and how urban spaces throughout history have embraced the importance of trees.
