          The topic is Beijing's hazardous pollution sparks Chinese media anger. It started in January 14, 2013. 

          The problem is many northern cities in Beijing.  Because it has many smoke from the vehicles on the city’s roods.  It happens because has many vehicles on the city's roads.  People who don’t care about their health but they only want the convenience. You should care about sparks pollution because you need not respire to infections, as well as leading to increased mortality from lung cancer and heart disease. 

          I think we can stop it by reducing the number of vehicles on the city's roads and to limit the capital's reliance on coal-fired power plants.

In the Stone Age, there are many technology because they lived in the cave, mountain, and forest. They can made the tool with stone for finding the food and hunting the animal. They can make tool by themselves. The clothing was limited. Men, women and children would drape themselves with animal skins. There were no shoes.

Robert lived in the caves near river. He make tools from stone and he got his food by finding in it nature.  And he killed animals for bring animals skin to make clothing. He could speak, but didn’t understand the alphabet. He didn’t know about being clean, he never took a bath or shaved their face He like hunting animal to eat.
