El Ambiente( Formal Writing #3)

Hay muchas problemas en la ambiente. Fuente 1 digo que la mayors problemas son las contaminaciónes de la agua y del los desechos. Tambien hemos producido mucha basura y humop de los coches. La gente botan la basura en el piso y no en la bota de basura. Como tenemos coches, grandes factorías, los aerosols y otras cosa que hacen daño a la ambiente, no es una suprisa que hemos destruido la tierra. Fuente 2 dijo que debemos proteger la biologia de la tierra. Tambien dijo que transporte de coasas en barco es peligroso. Se puede mirar en el pasado que barcos se pueden chocar y pueden contaminar el ambiente Los dos fuentes cuentan de la misma tema. La tema es que hay una mayor problema ambiental, no solo en la comunidad, pero en todo la tierra. Tenemos que recuperar la tierra.

Paz

El Día Internacional de Paz es el 21 de septiembre. Se celebran en Colombia puero no son muchas calles que hablan de paz. Algunos no saben el día internacional a la paz en Colombia.

Con muchas lágrimas y miedos las personas están cansados de estó. La tema no es la paz para algunas personas. “Si no hubiera terrorismo y fuerzas armadas existiría la paz”(Fuente 1).
