Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the world, for

example, pollution problems.

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 is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who

eat 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.
