Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today．People didn’t have modern machines．There was no modern medicine, either．
Life today has brought new problems．One of the biggest is pollution(污染)．Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty．It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water．Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily．Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution．It’s bad to all living things in the world．
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day．Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city．This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾)．
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution．Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air．
We need to do many other things．We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground．We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car．If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution．
Rules are not enough．Every person must help to fight pollution．

Hu Jia is a 2nd grader at Shanghai Fudan Junior Middle School．She had her Chinese class two weeks ago．But she is still excited talking about it．
"It's time to talk about poems．But our teacher asked us to go on to the class blog(博客), a website for our class．" Hu said．
Her teacher, Zhang Dianchun , put some nice poems on the blog．The class talked freely about each poem．
Hu is a shy girl and she doesn't often put her hand up in class．But this time it's different．"I typed in what I thought about the poems．The teacher typed back and said I was doing well．"
Fudan Junior started to have blogs for teachers and students early this year．
A blog is like a diary on a website．It has messages about lots of different things kept by date．Using a blog at school makes teacher-student talk easily, clearly and fast．
"On our school's blog , everyone must use their real name．That's how it is different from other online talks．" said Zhang Xuan , a teacher at the school．
It is a great way to learn on blog．
Each class has its own blog．They have lessons on the blog．After school, students can still talk to each other or to their teachers about problems in study or life．Zhang said every day there are about 200 students talking on their class blog．
"It's cool．You can tell teachers something you might never dare to say face to face．" said Hu．
Teachers and students are friends on the blog．They talk openly．Once Zhang even told his students about a mistake he had made．
"Our class teacher is not mysterious(神秘的)any more．We are close．" said Xu Jie , one of Zhang's students．
