Air pollution is the contamination of the air. Unwanted chemicals, gases, and
particles enter the atmosphere, harm animals, and damage the earth. Some air
pollution sources come from nature (volcanoes, dust storms, and forest fires).
Others come from human activity.
Air pollution has many negative effects on the environment and can make people

My last vacation was a five-day trip to Prague in the Czech Republic. I know Prague
well because I lived there more than ten years ago.
First, I went to my old friend´s house. It was so much fun, and a little bit like my
old life. Then we went to the supermarket near my old house. I loved seeing all
the different foods. I was really happy to find my favourite cheese and
chocolate biscuits.
Later, we did some touristy things. We walked up beautiful Petrin Hill and around
the castle. The views of the city are amazing up there. We walked across the historic
Charles Bridge. Finally, we saw the famous baby statues climbing up the T V Tower
because my friend’s apartment is close to it. Those things haven’t changed,
