My view on Pollution 我对污染的看法

Ladies and gentlemen,

Yesterday our teacher of English asked me to say something about pollution. Now, I give you my views on this vital question.

As a matter of fact, the effects of industrial pollution are well known to everyone --- polluted air, polluted water and polluted earth. Though a great deal is already being done to control these effects, the problem of pollution is still serious. Continued population increase, smog and chemical waste produced by factories and cars, not only threatens to exhaust our resources, but also pollutes our environment. We do need clean air, safe water and our children’s health.

In my opinion, to solve the problem of pollution, everyone must refrain from polluting our environment. We should know that this is the duty of every individual, not that the government alone.
