The rich and the poor
The world is divided (分为)into two main parts . The difference is that
one part is rich and the other is poor . In the poor part , a lot of people never get
enough to eat . In the rich part , a lot of people eat too much . In one part , child
starve (饿死)and in the other , a lot of people get fatter and fatter and have to
go on diets (吃特别饮食), or do special exercises in order to lose weigt.
The poorer countries have special problems . Sometimes the land is too
poor to grow anything on . The land can be improved (改善), but a lot of
things must be done first . The people must be educated an water must be
found.
But rich countries have problems , too . There are not always pleasant
places to live in . Sometimes the air is too dirty to breathe , and the rivers are
too dirty to swim in or to take water from . The roads are too crowded to drive
along . Large numbers of people do not have decent (象样的)housed to live
in . Some things will have to be done about these problems . The air and the
river will have to be cleaned , and more houses will have to be built.
