REMEDIAL 1 PAS XII ENGLM

The solar energy is cheaper than any other fossil fuel because we can get abundant source from the sun. In sunny desert areas, 50% of the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground could be used to produce electricity for business and industry, to provide heat, light and hot water at homes. Meanwhile, experimental solar ponds can produce hot water to drive generators.

Unfortunately, we cannot yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be exploited in bright light. Its greatest potential is, therefore, in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the year.

In addition, to harness the solar power, solar cells are needed to convert the sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people cannot afford it.

Needless to say, solar energy is a useful and non-polluted source of energy. Nevertheless, solar cells, the main important device to harness the sun’s energy are still very expensive.

“Its greatest potential is, therefore, in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the year.”

The word ‘its’ refers to…

• Homes

• Solar energy

• Bright light

• Hot countries

• Clear skies

Lets’s Make the City Clean and Fresh

A clean and fresh city will surely make the inhabitants healthy. Every morning especially in dry season, all roads must be watered with clean water and swept by the workers of regional government under the major’s instruction.

To protect people from heavy pollution caused by cars, trucks, and motorcycles, enough trees must be planted a long the roads. Every building or house in the city must be surrounded by short and small trees which bear colorful flowers.

Bad and improper habits which caused advantages, such as smoking and throwing rubbish anywhere should be stopped at once.

The city mayor will have to think over the way to educate people, so they realize how important cleanliness and health are. More public lavatories are badly needed

It will be wise if the city mayor decides a certain amount of fine to be paid by those who break the government regulation on cleanliness matter. For example, a man who urinates not at a lavatory, smokes not at a smoking room or throws rubbish at the roads should be fined. Besides dirtying the environment with cigarettes’ butts, smoking will also cause pollution and bad lung diseases to other people.

So, bad habits and impolite attitude should be immediately stopped, otherwise the city will be dirty, unhealthy, badly polluted and will never attract foreign and domestic tourists as well.

The writer suggests that the city inhabitants ….. to protect people from pollution caused by cars.

• plant trees

• stop smoking

• urinate at the lavatory

• throw rubbish at the road
