Arabic homework time!
Assignment was to write about problems of pollution in the world with a special focus on your own country, using old and new vocabulary, of course. Here’s the translation of what I came up with. As always, I’d love feedback from any native Arabic speakers who are reading this!
Environmental Pollution in My Country
In truth, everyone on our planet suffers from environmental problems like littering and pollution of water, farming, agriculture, air and noise, in addition to other things which have become parts of our lives. Every country on Earth endures these problems, but some suffer more and others less. For both developed countries and countries still developing, these problems are real and very serious.
Recently there has been a lot of talk and discussion between people in governmental and non-governmental organizations, scholars, and members of various agencies about these problems of environmental pollution. Especially about the use of oil and especially my country America.
My country is considered one of the biggest polluters in the world. This is true, of course. In this essay I will point to oil only, but not the use of oil in our cars, rather water pollution caused specifically by oil in the Gulf of Mexico. There was a problem there last year when the machine on top of the oil well broke, and after that oil poured into the Gulf for months. This mistake caused a lot of water pollution which, after that, caused problems with food and industry, and therefore with the American economy. Thus pollution is not only dangerous for living organisms!
