Tell about pollution in our city and how to solve it

COMPOSITIPN

The pollution of air Water and land in our city with such pollutants as smoke , industrial andhousehold waste is getting worse and worse It has reached intolerable levels The amount ofcarbon monoxide (CO) of the air now far exceeds the accepted limit As a result of this thehealth of every citizen here is being jeopardized alarmingly

To solve the problem of pollution I think the government should relocate the factories outsidethe city limits and penalize people for littering, especially for relieving themselves in thestreets I also think there should be stronger controls on vehicles emitting pollutants Apartfrom these measures, the government should establish more factories to recycle garbage,

which is probably the best way of disposing of household waste

Then the masses should be mobilized to tidy up their houses and the streets where they live , togrow trees and plants into forests to preserve their environment, Only then the pollution can bediminished

each of the following questions:

England's highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted anh

unmanned since it was officially closed in 1970 Dents, situated high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up

on SlX summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, highest station

to its platforms.

But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end Dent station is situated on the settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most scenic in the country But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from the British Rail’s each problems This year, for the sake

of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put to another route.

It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line Most of its trains disappeared some times ago Bridge, built on a grand scale a century ago, is falling down It is not alone Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat The problem is a worn out system and an almost total lack of cash

to repair it Bridges and tunnels are showing their ages, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old On major lines between large cities, the problem IS not too bad These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to

maintain them But on the country branch line, the story is different As track wears our,

it is not replaced Instead speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer than necessary and discouraging customers.

If a bridge is dangerous, there is often one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another source This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at bridling station was

threatening to fall down Repairs were estimated at 200,000 pounds just for one bridge and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised when two local councils offered half that amount between them.

d carries the greatest number of tourists.

3 The most urgent problem for many country railway lines is that of

a rebuilding bridge.

b Repairing engines.

c Renewing coaches;

5 In order to improve the financial situation of the country railway lines, British Rail should.

a introduce speed limits;

b reduce scale of maintenance;

c increase fares.

d Appear to local councils.
