Arabic homework time! Here is Jennifer’s writing assignment on pollution in her country. Translation follows. Pretty good, huh?
Canada is known for its environment and nature, and in general, Canada is a clean country. The environment is very important for the
development of the country and it has many natural resources which are at the center of the economy. In addition, the Canadian environment is special due to the [geographical] position of the country, especially the northern point, and also because of its large area. Consequently, the Canadian environment is home for many special animals, such as the polar bear.Therefore, in Canada, the people usually care for the environment, and want to take care of it. And there is consciousness of the problems on the different types pollution. For example, when I was young and a student, we had special lessons in school on the environment and its protection. However, in my opinion, the serious problem with pollution in Canada is soil and water pollution, due to corporations. Sometimes, these corporations place and release toxins in the environment and afterwards, animals and humans can eat those toxins through their food. This is very dangerous because afterwards, the dirty food and water causes illnesses such as cancer.
In general, the Canadian people are responsible towards the environment but they think that the government has the main
responsibility. This is a problem as the people cannot wait for an
appropriate solution. The Canadian people are responsible for the
items which their purchase and therefore, if it is known that a
corporation pollutes, the solution is to not buy its products.
