AIR POLLUTION 
___Giáo viên: Lê Thị Trang_Trường THCS Vũ Hữu, huyện Bình Giang___ 4 
We are nowadays becoming more aware of pollution matters that affect 
dramatically our lives, especially there is growing concern about air pollution. 
There are some reasons that lead to this kind of pollution. Firstly, the development 
of industrial zones, factories and building construction areas is producing a large 
amount of dust and poisonous air. Especially in the developing countries, people 
nearly pay their attention to the air treatment process that makes the air pollution 
even worse. Secondly, because of the increasing urbanization, it can be easily seen 
that there is always a lot of traffic in rush hour and dust on the road these days. The 
smoke from vehicles and manufacturing exhaust increases the amount of carbon 
dioxide in the air which makes us feel really hard to breathe. The consequences are 
very bad. Smog and dust can do serious harm to our health and especially our 
lungs. We have thousands of asthma and adult respiratory distress cases each year 
which raise concern about the air quality. Moreover, acid rains are becoming more 
and more popular which damage crops and fields. Many people believe that air 
pollution is also causing global warming and it is difficult to improve the air 
without the efforts of all countries around the world. 
Questions 
1. According to the passage, where does a large amount of dust and poisonous air 
come from? 
2. Do developing countries take the air treatment process into careful 
consideration? 
3. Why is it difficult for us to breathe when travelling on the roads or streets? 
4. What does the word “urbanization” mean? 
5. Which particular part of our body is seriously affected by smog and dust? 
6. Is it written in the passage that there are millions of cases related to breathing 
annually? 
7. What is the harmful effect of acid rains? 
8. According to the passage, if all countries in the world ignore the air pollution 
condition, will it be easy to make the air fresher? 
C. WRITING (HS làm vào vở) 
Within 140-160 words, you write a paragraph on a type of pollution. 
Your paragraph may be made with your own ideas, or you may base on the 
outline built by a few questions 
- What pollution are you going to write about?
