  Dear Ben,

  I was glad to get your letter. Sorry, I haven't been in touch for so long, but now I will be happy to talk with you.

  In my opinion it's so sad. Actually, what your parents said about that? My mother doesn't think that I will be a good doctor, because I'm a creative person. I adore art and I want to be a photograper, because I like it so much.

  My parents completely support me and my choice. They can see fire in my eyes when I'm doing what I want to do. They say that it's my life and I should do that things, which bring me happiness.

  I want to travel and take photos of nature, so, how you can understand, English is very useful for me and my future.

  Now I should go. I will wait for your answer.

  Best wishes,

  Dari.

Air pollution - a really serious problem. Air is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and, thanks to our civilization, of a variety of toxic particles. The more of these particles in the air is, the less room is left in the atmosphere for oxygen.
   The problem of air pollution is not limited to the space outside. The air inside our homes and offices can be as dangerous to your health. The main source of pollution - cigarette smoke, but it is not the only one. Toxins are allocated even when you just cook. Every time you scratch the Teflon non-stick coating is allocated enough toxins to kill a canary.
 Greenhouse effect, which we all have been associated with the phenomenon of global warming, caused by toxic gases. The main enemy of clear atmosphere - methane. It is released from the decomposition of sewage.
Greatly affects our waterways. In every neighborhood, in every city there drain sewer, storm water from the highways and municipal enterprises directly into the river. Everything goes into the water, passing minor cleaning steps.
