P: Plants and factories pollute and poison air. They send a lot of smoke into the air, so it’s difficult to breath. Environmental pollution effects people’s health. They feel bad and fall ill. T: And what about our town? P: The air in our town is fresh because on the one hand the town is surrounded by forests, and on the other hand there are few cars in Zarechny and there are no factories and plants. So there is no smoke. T: Are we lucky to live in Zarechny? P: Yes , of course. But there are some problems in our town. T: What are they? P: They are: pet’s waste because people don’t use plastic bags when they take their pets for a walk, litter in the forest and lake’s blooming. T: You’re quite right. Our soil is polluted. Pet’s waste is a serious problem. Who has a pet? P: I have. T: Do you use a plastic bag and a scoop when you take your pet for a walk? P: No, I don’t. T: And nobody does. Do you swim in the lake? P: Yes, I do. (No, I don’t) T: As for me I can’t swim in our lake because of its blooming. And what about our forests? Do you like walking in the forest? P: Yes, I do. And you? T: I don’t. Because of the litter. So I can’t help mentioning the fact that there is a Nuclear Plant in our town. What can you say about nuclear pollution in our town? P: There is a nuclear plant in Zarechny and as we know nuclear plants can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. T: And what is the result of it? P: Nuclear pollution can not be seen but its effects can be terrible. T: Is it dangerous to live not far from the Nuclear Plant?

Feeling the earth here with me. And I love her, she loves me. I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me. She is our fiiend, We'd like to be together forever. The Earth is a garden, It's a beautiful place.
