Eliane:I can't believe it's become dangerous to get a suntan. What is this world coming to?Carl:Well, the sun has never been good for you, but it's really dangerous now. You see, the ozonosphere, which helps protect us from the sun's ultraviolet rays, has been damaged by pollution in the air. When the ozone layer gets too thin, it can cause an increase in skin cancer and other problems.Eliane:But is there anything we can do to solve the problem?Carl:Sure. One of the biggest threats to the ozone layer is cars the exhaust gases from cars. The best way to save the ozone layer is to drive less. So in many places, people are being asked to carpool.

Jane:You know, you always hear about air pollution, but not many people are aware of the problem of water pollution.Tomy:You mean in the oceans?Jane:No. I mean polluted drinking water. It's a problem in almost every major city in the world. Almost all our rivers and lakes where we get our drinking water from are being polluted in some way by businesses, farms, homes, industries, and other sources. And even though the water most of us drink is treated, it's still not 100 percent pure.Tomy:So what's the solution?Jane:Well, it's a complicated problem to solve, but basically what's involved is treating all waste products more carefully so that dangerous chemicals and bacteria don't get into our water supply.
