Стр.96 Unit 7 Граждане мира ГДЗ Комарова Ларионова 8 класс
1. Read Sarah’s composition. Is she optimistic or pessimistic?
Give Peace a Chance!
In my opinion, war is one of the biggest problems in the world today. I think that this is a big problem because a lot of innocent people are dying. I’m not sure if this problem is getting better or worse. Perhaps it seems worse because we see a lot of reports on the news. I don’t think that I will see an end to war in my lifetime. But if I were a politician, I would try to stop wars. I’d like to see people living together in peace.

Sample composition:
Pollution in My Country
In my opinion, pollution is one of the biggest problems in my country. It is a serious problem because it makes the air, water and land dirty, and it can harm people’s health.
I think that this problem is getting worse. There are more cars on the roads, and many factories still pollute the environment. People also throw away too much rubbish.
If I were a politician, I would make stricter laws to protect nature and punish people who pollute. I’d also support recycling and more green transport. I’d like to see a cleaner and healthier country in the future.
