Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but it also affecting those people who ate fish. Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live. Environmental pollution is one of the world’s problems. Vehicles and factories account for air pollution. Waste is usually dumped in the city where many people are living. The sea water is heavily contaminated by oil spills and industrial sewage. A lot of fish are dying because of marine pollution. Pollution has been reduced to the minimum nowadays. “ Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. No one knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late, and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear because it’s very dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident ? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. Natural resources will never run out. We don’t know exactly how much fuel is left. We shouldn’t waste natural resources. According to Mr. Burnham, solar energy can be used as a substitute for natural resources. Many people agree to use nuclear power as an alternative energy. Radioactive waste is harmful for health. ” Last week, our class had a discussion on how to protect the environment, and we came up with some interesting, practical suggestions. Some students suggested using banana leaves to wrap food in order to save paper. Another idea is to reuse and recycle bottles and cans so that we can reduce garbage and save our natural resources. Some other students have decided to go to school by bicycle to save energy and keep the air clean. But another group had a better idea when they suggested taking public buses foe less exhaust fumes and less traffic jams. Our teacher agreed with all opinions, but she also added that things were easier said than done, and that we had to do a lot to make the suggestions become reality. Our class had an environmental protection last week. Banana leaves can be used for wrapping food. Recycling bottles is a good way to reduce trash. The teacher was disappointed with listening to us. • Nowadays, many families are worried about their water bills. Some of the bills are enormous. In fact, they can save their money if they try to reduce the amount of water their families use. There are some easy ways to do this. First, get a plumber to make sure there are no cracks in the pipes. Second, do not use baths because they use twice as much water as showers : take showers instead. And at last but no least, remember to turn off the faucets since a dripping faucet can waste up to 500 liters of water a month. By doing these things, we can save both our own money and for future generations. Some families pay a lot of money on their waste. A plumber checks if people in the family take showers. Dripping faucets contribute to the waste of water. Future generations will not need to use water.

Œ Natural events only become potential risks when they threaten people or property. An earthquake will cause little damage if it takes place in an empty dessert. It may also cause little damage if it takes place in a city like San Francisco, where people can afford to be well protected.

Œ’ Many people think the teachers give students too much homework. That say it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school. Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which the teachers give to their children. Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at their children’s homework. It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are a better teacher their own children.

Teachers are allowed to give students homework at weekends. Teacher should advise parents to work together with their children. Only a small number of people think that homework is fair. 6.
