Keep our city clean

Nowadays environmental problems became the most popular problems all over the world. Air pollution, ozone depletion, acid rains are the main reasons for health problems among people. Any type of pollution has a damaging effect on health.

The well-known fact is that trees are the lungs of the world. Despite that fact people continue to cut down forests. They do it on their own benefit without any thinking about the consequences. Usually people cut down trees either/or to built /put up a new building at that place and sent trees to plants and factories. /timber

The one of important problem / urgent that is still alive is a litter. To solve Every day we throw away so many things without thinking about recycle./ that it next to impossible to recycle them. Fortunately, I can call my family environmentally friendly, because we try to recycle litter. For example, we use paper as a fuel for our sauna, my granddaddy recycl e glass bottles and we use reservoirs for food more than one time.

Industrial vehicle is impossible to be stopped. My city is the most industrial city in Ukraine. On the one hand it is very good/ advatage because of workplaces, but on the other hand it is extremely dangerous to live in such area. Air pollution cause the holes in the ozone layer. / which results in As the result we have lots of problems with weather./industrial emissions

The progress can’t be stopped/ therei is no stopping and this is good, because it may help us to invite new methods how to stop pollution. However, even without progress everyone has to try to reduce environmental problems on his own./ I am convinced that we have to make every effort to reduce environmental pollution before it is too late.

My school

Everyone remember his school life. These times are an unforgettable one, that is why we very often look back to on our school days. I go to Donetsk lyceum,,College ” at the 11^th form. It is located in the city centre near the main square. There are approximately 1000 students study at lyceum.

Fortunately, I have very friendly class/ ours is a friendly class. There are as many as 37 pupils, but we are divided into two subgroups and classes we attend only by groups. My is specialized on history and law. We specialize in

At school we have 15 subjects to study. I like the most Literature. /keen on, fond of, interested in/ I enjoy reading and analyzing characters. My hateful/ I loathe / subject is Mathematics, because I hate + ing to count and solve problems.

We have 6 lessons per day. I can’t say that we have really difficult lessons, but sometimes I come home after classes and feel more dead than alive. Fortunately, we don’t have usually lots of homework/ we are not given/ to do and I am very pleased fo r it./ which makes everybody happy

Unfortunately, our school is not very popular for its sport facilities/ cannot boast of. We don’t have our own sport ground and qualificated qualified teachers. That is why we don’t have classes of physical education at all.

As for extracurricular activities we don’t have such activities. Our school used to have extra classes of French and German, but because there were no many pupils these classes were cancelled.

In general I really enjoy studying at this school, but in my opinion there are so many things to do./high time to do about it
