Today, I read news from BBC about Air Pollution ‘harmful for those with failing hearts’.

The top[c is Air Pollution ‘harmful for those with failing hearts’. It started about 2 years ago until the present. The problem is in many places, but the Britons is a good example. People get gases such as Carbon monoxide and Nitrogen dioxide – fumes buses, taxis and lorries that can into the lungs and, from there , into the blood stream and failing hearts. It happens because people don’t care about the  air pollution particularly, road traffic. You should care about air pollution because you want to have good health. People who  use the buses, taxis, lorries on the road.

            I think you can stop it by educating  the public to use the buses, taxis, lorries on the road and people should walk or use a boat for travel more than cars, buses, taxis, or lorries.

Today, I practice to reading skill. I read about BBC news. I read news about Belfast meeting over funding of Northern Ireland schools.

            Belfast meeting over funding of Northern Ireland schools About 40 people attended the public meeting to discuss school funding. People have been giving their views about how schools are funded at a public meeting in Belfast. The panel recommended a simpler funding formula and financial incentives so that smaller schools are better off if they join with schools nearby.  

            Schools already have a mechanism for responding to the consultation but, in keeping with the minister's views, we wanted to be able to engage with a wider audience.

Today, I practice to listening skill.  I listen about Education report from VOA learning English. I listen news “check out the world digital library”.

            Outdoors, in the open air, seems like a natural place to study natural science. It also makes sense in a place like Southern California where people like to be outside a lot. The one and a haft hectare area used to include a parking lot. Now, it welcomes birds, butterflies, many other things.

            I agree with this video because we can help animals. They can live in the park. It makes them feel safety.
