 Variant 1

The ecological situation has become very acute. It is because of nuclear and hydroelectric power engineering which is very dangerous. People's careless interaction with it caused environmental disasters. The most horrible disaster which happened in April 1986 befell Belarus and Ukraine and their people. As a result of the Chernobyl tragedy about 18 % of the territory of Belarus and Ukraine was polluted with radioactive substances. Great damage has been done to the republics' agriculture, forests and people's health. The environmental safety of nuclear and hydroelectric power engineering is beginning to assume paramount importance, because when people build and exploit hydroelectric power stations they change the structure and properties of the soil and water.

  Variant 2

People have become more environment-conscious in recent years because now nature is in a very dangerous situation. Many parts of the world are overcrowded. Most of the people live in big cities which suffer from smog. The waste of the enterprises is very dangerous. The waste gets into the soil, water, air and of course this affects the health of people. The earth is our home, and we must take care of it for ourselves and for the next generations. This means keeping the environment clean. Environmental protection is a universal concern of all people and all countries. That is why Russia is cooperating in the field of environmental protection with the United States, Canada, Norway, Finland and other countries. People must discuss different eco-logical problems and make correct conclusions. Only common efforts of all the people of the world will help to stop further pollution of the earth.

Variant  3  

Railway transport pollutes the air. Every year railway enterprises throw into the atmosphere nearly 40 thousand tons of harmful substances. Railway transport throws out into the atmosphere 300 kinds of harmful substances which change the structure of air. Near the railway track, locomotive depots, near the railway stations the concentration of soot and carbon is much higher than the admissible level. In all countries scientists want to exploit environment-friendly railway transport. In some regions of the world and of our country people have problems with local harmful substances. These substances get into the water, so many rivers, oceans and lakes are much polluted. When people build and exploit railway stations they change the structure and properties of the soil. People pollute the soil with industrial and communal waste. The pollution of the air and the soil can lead our planet to a global catastrophe. So people of the whole world must take urgent measures to keep the environment clean.

 Variant 4

Noise is a special kind of environmental pollution and most of it is made by transport, especially by city traffic, by trucks, trains, sea and river boats in ports, planes near airports, by locomotives and passing trains near the railway track. Of course noise influences very badly the health of people. Great attention is devoted to the settlement of this problem. We have found new ways and means to reduce harmful exhaust in all environmental media, as well as noise and vibration levels. They are used in many parts of our country.
