Приложение №1

A Better World.

I woke up one day

And I saw that things were not OK.

I heard the cars making noise

I saw the streets are no place for toys.

The children try to find a place

Better for them to play.

Where are the fields and gardens?

Oh, God! People are killing the planet.

I pray but changes don't come,

We are still alive, it's not fun.

We have to try to find a way,

A better world for us to stay.

I made a plea, do something with me,

Because it's not a simple thing.

Our lives are in danger

And we want a better world to live in.

Problem

Poverty

Cruelty to animals

Pollution

The destruction of the ozone layer

Example

Some people have a lot of money and some are very poor.

We keep ani-mals in cages in Zoos on farms. It's wrong to kill animals.

We are de - stroying the planet. We are polluting the air in the cities. We are polluting the seas too.

The ozone layer protects us from radiation, but if there are holes in the ozone layer the radiation gets to the air.

What should we do?

Rich people should give money to help the poor. Rich countries should help poor countries.

We should leave animals alone. We should make them free.

We all should use less energy. And if we less used cars, for example, we wouldn't have so much pollution in the cities.

We should have good filters at nuclear power stations, at factories.
