Pollution

Hundreds of years ago，life was much harder than it is today.People didn't have modern machines.There was no modern medicine，either.

Cars，planes and factories all pollute our air every day.Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city.This kind of quilt is called haze (霧霾)．

Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution.Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away，and they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.

People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others. Another form of self-expression is the written word. For many people, it is easier for them to express their thoughts or emotions in writing, instead of speaking them out. It is an especially popular way for expression among shy and highly self-conscious (自尊) people. People′s thoughts are written down and then published(出版) so that others can read and enjoy them.

There are many reasons why newspapers and publishers actually publish people′s thoughts, but the major reason is to give information. With the introduction of newer technologies, new ways now appear to share people′s ideas quickly. Blogs are just one way. People can now let the world know their hopes, dreams and day to day activities through a web blog. Better than that, many sites allow customers to create their own web blog for free. The word blog comes from the words web and log. Slogging is the term that is used to refer to activities relating to a blog, such as creating it, updating and adding content(內(nèi)容). And the blogger is the person who puts that content on the blog. Blogs can be very powerful. Blogs can change the world by changing the opinions of large numbers of people around the world.
