Air pollution is caused by the (follow) reasons. It is
(main) caused by vehicles. There are more and more cars, buses on the roads and they give off
(poison) gases. About 25% of air pollution is caused by factories. Another factor is the smoking,
not only does harm to smokers’ health but also to others’.
these, about 10% of air pollution is caused by other reasons.

only reason why they go to school?
There is more in education than just (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man
really knows how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will but also be able to teach
how to do it in the best way. The
(educate) person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just
it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is
(teach) languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., but to teach pupils the way to learn.

(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be
(patience).
