1、 Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. 1.最严重的问题之一就是污染。Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. 2 .Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. 3. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. We call this kind of “quilt” smog(雾霾).
Many counties are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
4.我们需要做许多其他的事情。We can put waste things in the dustbin and do
not throw them on the ground. 5.We can go to work by bus or by bike instead of driving a car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must do something to help fight pollution.
