Coal, oil and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are
supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve,
explore and develop such alternatives energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these
alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to
do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for
communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution – free source of renewable energy but
it can’t be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does
not cause pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar
power also requires expensive equipment.

My husband and I have a problem about our holiday last year. I wanted to have a “lazy seaside
holiday” because I was tired and need to relax. I loved lying in the sun, drinking iced beer and reading a good
book. But Robert liked busy, culture holidays. He liked visiting museums and art galleries. He hated
sunbathing because he always went red, not brown. The travel agent tried to help us and suggested Greece. I
said I’d love to sail to a quiet island, but of course Robert said he’d like to stay on Athens. It was easy
