слов,
выделенных жирным шрифтом.
Roberta (Italy): If I were leader of my country, I would ban cars
because they cause too much air pollution. I hate it when I’m riding my
bike in the street and I can hardly breathe because of the traffic fumes. It
makes me feel really ill. Air pollution causes acid rains, too, which kills
trees and plants. I would also improve public transport. People wouldn’t
need to use their cars so much then. I think people should walk more
often, or use a bicycle, like me! If they did, our cities would be healthier
places to live in.
James (Kenya): If I were the leader of my country, I wouldn’t allow
hunters to kill endangered species. Did you know that animals such as
tigers and rhinos have been hunted so much that there will soon be none
left? I think we need to teach hunters that it’s wrong to kill these animals.
I would also create special parks where these animals could live safely.
Maria (Brazil): If I were the leader of my country, I would stop
logging companies from destroying the rainforest. It’s terrible the way
that animals and rare plants die when the trees disappear. Don’t these
companies know that they’re not just destroying the trees and the
wildlife? They could destroy us all! Trees produce oxygen, which is one
of our most basic needs. One answer to the problem is to make the
logging companies plant new trees. If they did that, it could save the
rainforest and give all of us cleaner air to breathe.
