Air quality(质量) and health

By Albert Cheung

    Every day, the weather reports show us the air pollution index. It is a number that tells us how dirty the air is. The index was 98 on Monday and it went up to 108 yesterday. Last weekend, the Index even climbed between 115 and 118.

    "We are breathing in bad air every minute," said Mr Victor Wong, head of Green World. Breathing in dirty air is harmful to us. The dirty air can make people sick. It can also lead to lung(肺) and heart problems.

    "To improve the air quality, we have to stop making the air dirty," Victor Wong said. The smoke from cars, factories, cigarettes and products like hair spray(喷雾) all give out dirty things, The rain and the wind carry these around and people breathe in bad air everywhere.

    The best way to make the air cleaner is to stop using things that give out dirty smoke.

    The Spring Festival comes in January or February every year. It is an important (重要的) Chinese festival. People also call it Chinese New Year. On Chinese New Year's Eve (除夕), families have a big dinner together. They often eat dumplings. People visit their friends and relatives (亲戚). Children often get red packets (红包) with some money (钱) in them. People also watch fireworks at night. They like the beautiful fireworks very much.
