rain, not much has been made to reduce it.
5. The Environmental Authority should
implement new policies.

levels of pollution wouldn’t increase so
dramatically.
7. People are exposed to chemicals in the air,
which can steadily damage their health
seriously.

21. In order to protect the environment, you can
use eco-friendly products.
22. If chemical waste from factories wasn’t
dumped into rivers and seas, they wouldn’t be so

23. We save lots of trees when we recycle/ by
