At the present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could
be provided by the sun. One percent of solar energy that reaches to the Earth is enough to provide power for total
population.
Many countries have already used solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and people use
the sun’s energy to heat water and so on. The energy can be stored for a number of days. Therefore, on cloudy
days you can use it, too. Solar energy is a cheap, clean, effective source of power and it doesn’t cause pollution,
so it is encouraged to use this energy instead of other ones.
True/ False statements:
____ 1. Coal is a kind of electricity coming from the sun.
____ 2. Solar energy is a clean and we don’t care about its shortage.
____ 3. Solar panels are used to heat water.
____ 4. On sunny days we can get the energy and save for the cloudy days.

Air pollution is caused of ill health in human beings. In a lot of countries, there are laws limiting the amount of

also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol produces a poisonous gas, which is often collected in
busy steets circled by high buildings. Children who live in areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere
cannot think as quickly as other children, and are clumsy when they use their hands.
