Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is t oday. People didn’t have modern(现代的)machines. Life today has brought 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 become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.
Polluted air from cars, planes and factories is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾). Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can’t throw waste things everywhere. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough, every person must help to fight pollution, too.

My name is Alice. I just got a dog named Buddy! He keeps me busy and helps me do something fun. I used to feel so lonely and bored. But now Buddy brings much happiness into my life.
My dad and I picked up Buddy i n a small pet store and he didn’t cost us lots of money. The minute I saw him, I knew he was the one.
When Buddy was small, he would wake me up really early by barking (吠叫) at the foot of my bed. Now Buddy grows up. We often go outside to play. I make sure Buddy goes for walks and that makes me go for walks too. Buddy likes to eat lots of food. But I don’t over feed him. Dogs are like people. They need the right amount (数量) of food to be healthy. Buddy can do lots of tricks (特技). I give him hugs (拥抱) when he does a trick, not food. That way I don’t over feed him. It also helps me learn more about what and how much I should eat.
Having Buddy makes me feel needed and loved. I would advise you to get a pet if you are lonely or bored. A pet can fill up your day with lots of activities and keep you healthier.
