Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It
can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a stronger
heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not
carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for people with
painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start slowly and build
up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to working. If you
have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for
his/her advice. Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise
to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is
simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if
you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean
water. Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and
garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas
have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world.
It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist
anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
effluent which pours into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not
have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for
50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles
off shore. Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean
water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and
sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source.
We should do something now.

earthquakes all over the world; huge fires; and so on. But I’ll never forget my first personal

Thursday, December 4th when a high –pressure system (warm air) covered southern England.

stoves mixed with the fog. The humidity was terribly high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic

9th, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick, many of
