A holiday is a day of celebration. A holiday is a merry event. Holidays are national and family. My favorite holiday is a birthday. I remember the birthday that was this year. I turned 15 years old. Birthday is a wonderful day. I've been waiting for a lot of presents. My parents ordered a big cake. Mom decorated the apartment with balls and posters. On the morning of my birthday, my parents gave me a phone. Sister Polya gave a beautiful pen. All day long friends and relatives called. My birthday was celebrated in the evening. We celebrated this holiday at home. In the evening the table was laid. We put on evening clothes and waited for the guests. The apartment looked nice and cozy. I am always very glad to meet my guests. I like getting flowers and gifts. I like blowing out candles. We danced, sang songs, played games, laughed, joked, told funny stories. I think that my birthday is the best day of the year.
If you’ve ever seen smog hanging low over a city, then you’ve seen air pollution first-hand. Air pollution can be natural or man-made, but it’s the man-made pollutants that are the most destructive, like greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and the destruction of the ozone. Carbon dioxide is one of the worst air pollutants, it’s mainly emitted from power plants, cars, planes and other vehicles and comes from burning fossil fuels. Another major air pollutant is methane, which comes from raising livestock, and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) which are used in aerosol products.
Air pollution has been linked to health problems like asthma and lung disease, as well as the deterioration of the ozone layer (which protects us from harmful UV rays) and the warming of the earth which may destroy the habitats of many animals. Governments are trying to encourage people to lessen air pollution driving less, recycling and limiting their energy consumption.
