Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952,more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today,London is much cleaner but there is a new problem smog from cars. In December 1991,there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result,about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centres. In the past,people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now,many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result,the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about £ 100,for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £ 1.00. 

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

Dear Disney, Last weekend,the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain,only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy,one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream,and she completely enjoyed the ride.

Sure enough,as we walked out the exit,there was Gloria^ new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened,because we know that an ice-cream won’t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said ,“ Thank you”’ but Pm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
