The number of vehicles and factories in cities is increasing and the air is becoming
more polluted every year. What can we do about it?
The problem with fumes from cars is that they poison the air and can make people
ill, especially children. Also, smoke from homes and factories makes the air dirtier
and smog levels increase. This makes life in cities very unpleasant.
There are some solutions to this problem. We can use buses and trains to travel
around the city. Some cities have already stopped cars from driving in the centre.
Also, we should move factories to the countryside and put filters in their chimneys.
In these ways, we can reduce the amount of air pollution.
To conclude, we can all help reduce the amount of air pollution. This way we can
enjoy a healthier life.

7. It was the last day of my holiday in Prague. I checked out of the hotel, my luggage neatly packed was in the luggage room and I (had) about four hours before the coach took me to the airport.
8. I thought that I (would spend) the time shopping for souvenirs.
9. I (bought) some wooden combs for mum, she had always liked those kinds of things, a tie for dad, and a toy car for my younger brother.
10. It (did not take) me long.
11. I needed only one more present — for my girlfriend Laura. And it was not easy to choose one. Laura was very particular about things and hated useless and unpractical purchases. Suddenly I saw a nice summer handbag. It (was made) of little patches of differently coloured fabrics. It was very small and cute.
12. I (took out) my wallet to pay for it when my inner voice spoke up:
13. "If you (give) her this handbag, she'll get furious. She'll say that it's a waste of money, because it's too small to carry anything in." And I didn't dare to buy it. The same voice stopped me when I was about to buy a little funny teddy bear, which was of no practical use at all. Then it didn't let me buy a red umbrella as it was too large and inconvenient to carry around.
14. "(Have you bought) anything for me?" demanded Laura on my arrival. "I never buy useless things, but adore unpractical presents!"
