Ecological problems (8th form)

Ecological problems.

Nowadays environmental problems have become one of the most urgent problems of modern society. More and more people suffer from air and water pollution. Nature also suffers from land and nuclear pollution. The reasons for such environmental problems are numerous. Among them increasing number of cars in the streets, factory waste, millions of cut down trees, destroyed habitats of animals, contaminated rivers and seas. All these problems mainly arise due to human careless activities and gradually destroy our planet. If we look closely, we’ll notice that not only one city is under danger, but the majority of world population. Fortunately, there are many ways to suspend these problems. If everybody starts caring about the planet we live on, many environmental problems can be solved. For example, if we start recycling paper and cardboard, we can save lots of trees. If we start using public transport more than private cars, we can have less air pollution. Local governments can also help to prevent some problems, if they forbid logging companies to destroy the forests, or stop factories from polluting water. The most important thing is, of course, to start acting immediately, otherwise we might have to face many global disasters

Household chores (8th form)

My household chores

To tell you the truth, household chores are not my favourite part of daily life. I think that chores take much time which can bе spent on more pleasant things. But in any case I have my duties at home and I have to do them well. As I live with my parents, my mother cooks for all of us and my duty is to wash up the dishes after supper, wash the floor once a week and sometimes go shopping with my mother when she has heavy bags. In summer my parents live in the country house and I stay in the city. At that period of time I have to do everything myself. Besides this I also must come to the country once a week to help parents there. Sometimes I wish I lived alone, but in this case my chores would only become more various. I try to do all my duties quickly listening to music. This way I don’t make my chores so boring.
