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.
