Environmental Problems .Загрязнение окружающей среды
Environmental problems have become one of the most urgent problems of modern society. More and more people suffer from air and water pollution. Nature also suffers from land and nuclear pollution. The reasons for such environmental problems are numerous. Among them increasing number of cars in the streets, factory waste, millions of cut down trees, destroyed habitats of animals, contaminated rivers and seas. All these problems mainly arise due to human careless activities and gradually destroy our planet. If we look closely, we’ll notice that not only one city is under danger, but the majority of world population. Fortunately, there are many ways to suspend these problems. If everybody starts caring about the planet we live on, many environmental problems can be solved. For example, if we start recycling paper and cardboard, we can save lots of trees. If we start using public transport more than private cars, we can have less air pollution. Local governments can also help to prevent some problems, if they forbid logging companies to destroy the forests, or stop factories from polluting water. The most important thing is, of course, to start acting immediately, otherwise we might have to face many global disasters. Проблемы окружающей среды стали одной из самых насущных проблем современного общества. Всё больше людей страдает от загрязнений воды и воздуха. Природа также страдает от загрязнения земли и от радиоактивности. Причин для таких проблем окружающей среды множество. Среди них, повышение количества автомобилей на дорогах, отходы заводов, миллионы срубленных деревьев, разрушение естественной среды обитания животных, загрязненные реки и моря. Если присмотреться, то можно заметить, что не только один город в опасности, но и большая часть населения мира. К счастью, есть много возможностей приостановить эти проблемы. Если все начнут заботиться о планете, на которой живут, многие экологические проблемы могут быть решены. Например, если мы начнём утилизировать бумагу и картон, мы спасём многие деревья. Если мы начнём использовать больше общественный транспорт, чем личные автомобили, у нас будет менее загрязнён воздух. Местное правительство может также помочь приостановить некоторые проблемы, если запретит лесозаготовительным предприятиям разрушать леса, или остановит заводы от загрязнения воды. Самое важное, конечно же, начать действовать сейчас, или нам придётся столкнуться со многими глобальными катастрофами.

Perhaps even small children
know what a Big Ben is. Firstly, it’s the symbol of Great Britain and
one of the most beautiful sights of London. Secondly, it’s the largest
and the most famous clock in the world. Originally, Big Ben is a tower.
It’s one of the highest towers of Westminster Palace. Officially, the
clock has started its work on 31 May 1859. According to one of the
theories the clock has been named Big Ben after Sir Benjamin Hall, who
directed work on the casting of the bell. Another theory claims that it
has been named after Benjamin Caunt, who was one of the well-known
heavyweight boxers of the 19th century. Surprisingly, the tower of Big
Ben used to be a prison where over riotous parliamentarians were kept.
Big Ben has become a popular souvenir for tourists. Almost all visitors
of London buy a small souvenir in the shape of the world-famous clock.
Also Big Ben can be often seen in famous films and ads. Official name of
the tower is the “Westminster Palace Clock Tower” or “St. Stephen's
Tower”. Big Ben is only the name of the clock itself along with the
bell. The history of Big Ben dates back to 1288, when it was built for
the first time on Ralph De Hengham’s money. He was the chairman of the
Supreme Court of Queen's Bench. However, the contemporary tower of Big
Ben was built according to Charles Barry’s project in the 19th century,
as the old building was destroyed due to the fire of 1834. Although Big
Ben is very popular with spectators, no one is allowed inside of the
tower. All the Londoners who live close to Big Ben can hear how the bell
strikes thirteen at New Year’s Night.</span></span>
