Some cars do not run the way they should. Bad smoke from a car’s engine can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution.

Pollution turns the air a gray color. It is very dirty. It is not good for people to breathe this dirty air.

In order to keep pollution down the state makes cars take a test every two years. This test checks to make sure the cars do not pollute the air. If a car does not pass the test the owner cannot register (登记) it.

Some car owners drive their cars even though they cannot pass the test. This is against the law. It is also very bad for the air.

People wanted to find a way to get these cars off the road. A program was started that seems to be helping. This program buys cars that cannot pass the tests or will help pay for repairs.

In order to qualify for the program a car must be drivable and the owner cannot make over a certain amount of money. This program has been helping people by giving them money to help buy better cars or fixing their old ones. It has also been helping to cut down on pollution.

One evening I visited the English corner of our town. It is near our school. There are trees and flowers and a small ground. Every evening, large numbers of people go there to improve their English, but I had never been there before.

When I arrived there, many people had already been there. I looked around and found that most of them were students. Some of them were talking in English in twos and threes. To my great surprise, I even found three foreigners talking and smiling with some students who were listening with great interest. Just then, a tall student came towards me and asked, “Shall we have a talk in English?” My heart beat very fast at that moment because it was the first time for me to visit the English corner. Anyway, I said, “Yes.” Soon we talked freely about our studies, our lives, our hobbies as well as our problems of learning English. Time went fast, and it was already 11 o'clock before I realised it.
