Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no medicine, either.
Life today brings new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and we become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is very thick. People cannot see the sky clearly.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. Factories now must clean their water before they throw it away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.
There are many things we can do to fight against pollution. We should put waste things in dustbins and do not throw them on the ground. We should go to work by bike or on foot instead of taking a car or a bus. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. We should do our best to fight against pollution.

Films are very popular in Britain, and about 60% of people between 15 and 24 go to the cinema every month. At home, women watch TV for about three hours every day.
Holidays
British people love going on holiday, and have 56 million holidays every year. Most of these holidays aren't in the UK—27% are in Spain, 10% are in the USA, and 9% are in France. Maybe this is because the weather in Britain isn't very good!

May 29th
Dear Jenny,
I’m sorry you’re ill at home and can’t come to school this week, let me tell you what you have on Monday next week.
We have math at 8:00. It’s boring, I think! Then we have English. That’s interesting, I know you love English. Next is P.E. . The fourth lesson is art. That’s my favorite subject! In the afternoon, we only have two classes. We have history with Mr Chen. He is fun but history isn’t. Then at 2:00 we have science with Miss Jones. I don’t like her because she is too strict. Then we go and see a movie. It’s a cartoon — Tom and Jerry. And I like it very much. In the evening, we have a party, because the day is June 1st.
Yours,
Ben
