Ex4: Read the passage and give true (T) or false (F).
Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other
sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution
threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when
they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for
swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their garbage. The
amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens,
governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways
to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling
programmes.

Visual pollution has a greater effect on people than you may think. I remember when I

buildings’ walls. Then I looked up, and I saw a lot of power lines over my head. Although
they were not dangerous, I still felt insecure since I thought they might fall down. These
things prevented me from enjoying the beautiful sights of the city. I also remember the time I
studied in Melbourne. Once I was so busy with my assignments that I did not tidy my room
for two weeks. Looking at the messy room caused me so much stress that I did not want to
study. Then I decided to clean the room and put my things in their proper places. I also
bought a small plant and placed it in a corner. These simple actions increased my motivation
and helped me to focus on my learning. What about you? Have you ever been affected by
visual pollution?
