Every country in the world has problems with pollution and damage to the environment.
Do you think these problems can be solved?

DEVELOPMENT VS ENVIRONMENT
If we surf the web looking for pollution and environmental catastrophes, we will find out that every
country in the world suffers them. This is a natural consequence of the struggle between
development and environment.
If a country decided to live isolated from the rest of the world, living on what it can naturally grow
and produce, it surely wouldn’t be highly polluted. But we all want exotic food and technological
items from all over the world, so we have to pay the price.
Investing on electrical transport would benefit the environment a lot. Even more if this electricity
came from a natural source of energy like wind, rivers and solar boards. It’s difficult to achieve this
because petrol companies will fight against these actions.
We also have to take care of our rivers and seas. We all have heard about factories throwing highly
toxic substances to rivers, without minimizing their poisoning effects. A really strict law should be
applied to fine these factories and make them change their policy.
But what about ourselves? We also can do a lot! If, when possible, we bought larger packs of food,
we would be producing less rubbish. And this is only an example!
A friend is intending to stay in your town. She will be the group leader of ten teenagers from
her swimming club.
She would like you to write a report for her club about the swimming facilities in your area,
both outdoor and indoor, with your recommendations.
SWIMMING FACILITIES
The aim of this report is to provide information about the swimming facilities in the town of
Bamford.
General
There are three swimming pools in Bamford; the Temple Meads Pool, the St Helens Pool and the
Scartho Pool (outdoor).
Temple Meads Pool
This pool is located in the city centre. There are eight lanes and there is also a pool for children. The
pool facilities are all new. The admission costs are the highest as it costs £3.00 per session and
£1.50 for under 12s.
St Helens Pool
This pool was built over 100 years ago and the architecture is very beautiful. The pool is colder than
the Temple Meads pool. The admission cost is only £2.00 and £1.00 for under 10s.
Scartho Pool
This outdoor pool is open from the 1st June to 15th September. It is a very big pool and it is
extremely popular on hot summer days (It is sometimes full). It also opens to 9.00 on summer
evenings. It is the same price as Temple Meads.
Recommendations
I really think your group would enjoy Scartho Pool but if it’s raining or full Temple Meads would
be fine.
