Topic 2:
A serious problem in my city is air pollution. There are too many cars and factories, which make the air dirty. People have breathing problems because of the pollution. To solve this issue, the city can plant more trees, which help clean the air. Another solution is to improve public transport so fewer people need to drive. The government should also create stricter rules for factories to reduce smoke. If everyone helps, the air will become cleaner, and people will be healthier.
