A Form of Pollution in Your City
Tell me about a form of pollution in your city.
You should say: what form of pollution it is
where the pollution comes from
how people feel about this
and explain how the situation could be improved
．

My city: pollution is a serious issue like most big cities in China.
．
Air pollution: cars emit exhaust fumes.
·
Factories, industries release black smoke
：
chimneys
＋
cement tactones
．
Dust+ coal+ people spit a lot+ many old people cough
．
Government's answer: improving transport
＋
using cleaner fuels
＋
modernizing technologies
I was born and raised here in Fuzhou, and I have come to realize that my city is unfortunately
quite polluted. I guess the situation is not as serious as in other large cities,but it still is a maior issue,
especially in terns of air pollution.
First of all, in the last 5 years or so, the number of cars has increased significantly in my city.
The Chinese economy has grown so much in the last few years that many people are now enjoying
the benefits of a comfortable and modern life
．
As a result, traffic has become a serious concern in
my city. Every day at rush hour, traffic is congested, and cars emit way too much exhaust fumes.
We also have some old buses that release nasty black smoke into the air. At the bus stops, people
usually cover their faces with their sleeves because of the gas produced by these old buses. It's really
nasty.
In addition, in the outskirts of my city, there are many factories and industries that pollute the
air by burning chemicals and other stuff in their chimneys. I know that there are a
lot of cement
factories around my city, and they also emit a lot of polluting gases and dust. I think it's auite
disturbing to actually think about all the pollution that surrounds us
．
We can witness the air pollution on a daily basis whenever we step outside, and also at home.
There is always a lot of dust hanging in the air. And at home, we need to dust off
the furniture
very frequently, otherwise our house gets dusty and dirty very quickly. This doesn't happen so much
in the countryside. It really means the situation is bad in urban areas. On top of this, people complain
of the fact that many men and women spit in public. I agree that it is disgusting, but there is a reason
why people do it. I think air pollution causes people to cough, and they say it also causes many lung
problems.
The government is trying to tackle this issue, and I think that the situation in my city, because
now that people have reached a certain level of worry more about the environment they live in.
Right now, the local government is working on improving transport infrastructures by widening the
roads and facilitate smoother traffic flow. I really hope scientists will soon come up with an
alternative source of energy to replace petrol. And I think the government should also compel
industries to modernize their technologies in order to reduce carbon emissions
．
These are the new
challenges of the beginning of the 21
st
century.
