conversation.
Student A: We are facing severe environmental pollution despite

the fact that many organizations are working hard to reduce it.
Student B: Well, it is a result of human activities in modern
times. For example, air pollution is a consequence of fossil fuel
burning by motor vehicles, factories, aircraft and rockets .
Student A: You are right. It leads to a series of environmental
problems such as acid rain, greenhouse effect, global warming
and health problems.
Student B: Well, if this goes on, the earth may soon become a
dangerous place to live on. Therefore, we must do something
before it’s too late.
