The Text :
Living in a city is becoming more and more difficult. Our lives are in danger. When we leave our houses, we
must breathe bad air. This smog is not only unpleasant but dangerous as well. Our old people are suffering from
respiratory diseases. The pollution in the air hurts our eyes, our noses and our throats.
When we walk down the streets, we hear loud noises from every side: radios, stereos, shouting people, cars, etc...
We have few parks. We have no place to sit quietly and enjoy the singing of birds. We cannot escape pollution
everywhere, not even in our homes. We live pollution twenty four hours a day. Our rivers are polluted by industrial
chemicals. Who knows how many of these chemicals are still in the water when we drink it? And what about the
unhealthy food we eat?
Yes, our city has indeed become unlivable. We may have high standard of living, with cars, TV sets and other
materials, but do we live as our grandparents lived? They didn't have cars, T.V sets and beautiful houses, but they had
cleaner air and quieter cities. The food they ate was not covered with pesticides and other chemicals. We as citizens of
this community must decide of what kind of world we want our children to live in.
