Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human beings. In a lot of countries there are laws limiting the

earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice near the Poles ma melt and may cause serious floods.

What is life like for today's students ? As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few students
about their lives.

Sarah Jane is a second year biology student. ''Money is a big problem'', said Sarah. ''I can eat quite cheaply
at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes as I like to wear things

hats I make to the other students. Everything is expensive''. She said. That includes the rent, food, transport and
heating for the flat in winter''.
