1. Nina celebrated her birthday yesterday. Her room looked beautiful, there were many flowers in it. When I came in, somebody was playing the piano, two or three pairs were dancing. 2. Listen! Somebody is playing the piano. 3. I like music very much. 4. When I looked out of the window, it was raining heavily and people were hurrying along the streets. 5. What were you doing at seven o'clock yesterday? — I was having supper. 6. When I came home yesterday, I saw that all my family was sitting round the table. Father was reading a letter from my uncle who lives in Paris. 7. Where were you yesterday? — I was at home the whole day. — How strange. I rang you up at two o'clock, but nobody answered. — Oh, I was in the garden. I was reading your book and did not hear the telephone. 8. What wereyou doing at five o'clock yesterday? — I was working in the library. — I was there, too, but I did not see you. 9. Yesterday I was working at my English from five till seven. 10. It was raining the whole day yesterday. 11. Where is your sister now? — She is in her room. She is doing her homework.
I would like to discuss the environmental problems of our time.So pollution of the sea is the most dangerous. The regions that are most loaded with sea traffic are very dirty. For example, the Baltic sea is the dirtiest zone on the planet. The radioactive leak at Fukushima, Japan has led to the death of many fishes and other aquatic beings.
The cutout of forests, contamination of the seas and intense burning of coal has shifted the balance of the oxygen, ozone and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, making the ozone “shield” of the planet thinner. It results in global climate changes. Debates are still being held whether the “Global warming” is real, but every year there comes another evidence of the warming — the ice mounts melt at the poles, raising the global sea level.
You, of course, may say that you can’t affect the production of plants and factories much. But there is also the ecology of your home and your workplace. You shouldn’t pour dangerous chemicals to the ground — it will “die”, become infertile. Do not throw away batteries — send them to the recycling center. There are often special containers for batteries in major malls. Generally, do not waste resources — like take a shower, not a bath, turn down the water when you brush your teeth. Turn off electric devices that you do not use. Take care of the health of your environment.
