Hi Gilly
How’s your new job? My university course is great, but it’s Friday evening and I’m home for the
weekend. I ’m sitting (sit) on my bed and I 9 (play) a computer game on my laptop. I
usually 10 (study) in the evenings or I 11 (go) out with my friends. My
family are downstairs. Mum 12 (make) dinner and I 13 (think) Dad
14 (help) Julie with her homework. I can’t write any more now – Mum 15
(want) me to help her in the kitchen.
See you soon
Kate
In most regions of our Republic, the environmental situation is not only unfavorable, but it's also catastrophic.The main sources of pollution and degradation of natural systems are industry, agriculture, road transport and other anthropogenic factors. Of all the constituent components of the biosphere and the environment, the atmosphere is the most sensitive, not only to polluting gases, but also liquid and solid substances. Man pollutes the atmosphere for thousands of years, but the consequences of the use of fire, which he used all this period were insignificant. In Kazakhstan and Central Asia there are about 50 ‑ 60 million hectares of land suitable for irrigation. At the same time, water resources are enough only for irrigation of 8 ‑ 10 million hectares. In such conditions, it is necessary to choose the right ways to develop irrigated agriculture, to prevent irreversible destruction of the ecosystem. One more important problem is directly related to the fate of the Aral sea.
В большинстве регионов нашей республики экологическая ситуация не только неблагоприятная, но и катастрофическая.Основные источники загрязнения и деградации природных систем, являются промышленность, сельское хозяйство, автомобильный транспорт и другие антропогенные факторы. Из всех составляющих компонентов биосферы и окружающей среды атмосфера наиболее чувствительна не только к загрязняющим газам, но и к жидким и твердым веществам. Человек загрязняет атмосферу тысячелетиями, однако последствия употребления огня, которым он пользовался весь этот период были незначительными. В Казахстане и Средней Азии насчитывается примерно 50 ‑ 60 млн. га земель, пригодных для орошения. В то же время водных ресурсов хватает только на орошение 8 ‑ 10 млн. га. В таких условиях необходимо правильно выбрать пути развития орошаемого земледелия, чтобы предотвратить необратимое разрушение экосистемы. Еще одна важная проблема напрямую связана с судьбой Аральского моря.
