Привет, меня зовут Том. Мне 11 лет, и я из Лондона. У меня есть отличная коллекция марок! В моем альбоме есть 68 марок. У меня есть марки из Японии, Франции, Австралии, Канады и Новой Зеландии. Я люблю марки, потому что на них красивые картинки. Я горжусь своей коллекцией. Коллекционировать марки легко и весело. Это делает меня счастливым.
<span><span>Ecological problemsЭкологические проблемы</span><span>Ecology is a scientific branch which studies interactions between organisms and their environment. It also studies the biodiversity of our planet. Earth is the only planet in the solar system where there is life. It is home to various kinds of plant and animal species. For centuries people lived in harmony with their environment until industrialization began. It brought human society into conflict with nature, which today has grown to a dramatic scale. Every year industrial waste pollutes surrounding atmosphere with millions of tons of dust and harmful substances.The most acute problems include shortage of natural resources, global warming, acid rains, wildlife extinction, water and air pollution.<span><em>Air pollution</em> is one of the most important and urgent problems. It is mostly caused by transport and factory fumes, which gradually destroy the ozone layer. Unfortunately, this can have dire consequences, as the ozone layer is there to protect our planet from sun radiation. Most aerosols which are used in daily life create large holes in this layer.</span><span><em>Water pollution</em> also leads to numerous problems in natural environment. Many ships carry oil by sea. In case, there is a leakage, many fish die or get contaminated. It happens because their habitat gets polluted. People can also suffer if they eat such fish. Oil and other waste pollute beaches as well, which makes it difficult for holiday-makers to swim.</span><span><em>Acid rains</em> lead to deforestation. Many forests disappear because of acid rains. It is especially true for tropical forests. Such rains kill nature in many ways: animals die out, climate changes along with ecosystem.</span><span><em>Wildlife extinction</em> is no less acute. Many species of animals are in danger nowadays. For example, the blue whale, which is the largest water animal in the world, has been hunted for so long that it became a rare animal. The largest land animal is the African elephant, and it is also exposed to extinction. Even though they are strictly protected, these animals are still hunted for their valuable tusks. The only solution of this problem is wildlife conservation. It means opening more national parks, planting more new forests, and cutting down on industrial pollution.</span><span><em>Global warming</em> has recently become a real threat. It is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, which brings tangible changes into world’s climate. It is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When we burn fossil fuels, such as coal or oil, carbon overloads and creates greenhouse effect.</span><span><em>Shortage of natural resources</em> will definitely affect the future of our environment. It includes food and water shortage, fuel and non-fuel minerals shortage. These resources are not limitless and if people persist using them uncontrollably, the upcoming years will become extremely polluted, economically unstable and risky.</span></span></span>
In my opinion, summer is a beautiful time of year, because it is very warm, everything around is beautiful, and we have a great opportunity to relax. And summer is vacation time and holidays. We can go anywhere, have a wonderful time at the pond, in the shade of emerald green, splashing in the warm water. And you can go to the mountains, to be worn on the bike or play all kinds of games. I want to share the most memorable moment in the last summer vacation. In July, my family organized a trip to the forest to barbecues. Was divorced fire, cooked meat for frying, and put the tent. While my parents were preparing lunch, I went to the forest to, as follows, to work up an appetite. The forest on this day was magnificent! The air was the aroma of flowers, honey and strawberries. It was all green and only the trunks of the trees bright spots stood out against the dark green background. Chirped in his language of the birds, knocking woodpecker. Suddenly he heard a suspicious noise... I thought someone hissed next to me. I turned around and saw... a squirming snake! I have the same breath. I don't even remember what she looked like, because much frightened. I began to slowly retreat, and then rushed to our camp. I decided not to talk about all this mom to not worry her. Later, after dinner and plenty of fun, we Packed up and went home. Yeah... Time flies very quickly. It is a pity that it is impossible to repeat those moments and feelings that were experienced by you during the holidays. But I believe that next summer will also be unforgettable!!!!
