PART 5
Report about Smog
Dear all,
Since you’ve found the causes, effects and solutions to the environmental problem, why don’t you write a piece of report to explain air pollution to the public Remember to make the report specific, appealing and understandable.
Yours, Bureau of Environment protection
Report about Smog: Possible Answer
Dear citizens,
As is known to all, we have been suffering air problems recently. Luckily we’ve found the causes and the solutions. Now let me introduce it to you.
Through our investigation, it is obvious that the vehicle emissions are the major causes, producing harmful gases which created “smog”, a combination of smoke and fog.
But don’t be panic, there are lots of measures we can do to deal with smog, such as wearing anti-smog masks, choosing green travelling or planting trees. Believe us, the smog will disappear and deep, blue sky will show up in the nearest future.
Yours, environmental protection team.
A small action can make a big difference!
