A hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in
Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were cooking
their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result,

small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help
because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire-fighting equipment as most of
the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than
by the collapse of buildings.

Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes,
trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city
where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their
living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so
polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This is not only killing the fish, but is
also affecting those people who eat fish.

day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.
