Model Topic

Air pollution became a serious environmental issue. Write a short article about the causes, consequences and suggest some ways to stop this problem.

Model Answer

Recently, air pollution became a serious environmental problem not only in Morocco but all over the world.

There are many causes to this issue. The first cause is means of transportation like cars, buses, and trucks that produce too much smoke in the air. The second one is industrial factories. A lot of businessmen set up their projects in big cities and as a result they pollute the air. Another cause, which is more important, is rubbish. A great number of people throw garbage in public places.

This environmental issue has some consequences like health diseases. Many people suffer from asthma, breathing difficulties, global warming and extinction of some animals.

To put an end to this problem, people should use bikes or public vehicles at least at the weekends, factories ought to be built outside the cities and rubbish should be thrown in specific places, and last but not least, associations should sensitize people to the negative consequences of this phenomenon.

In conclusion, I think that all citizens suffer from this problem especially those who live in the cities. So, let's all work hard hand-in-hand to eradicate this problem or at least reduce its danger.
