The city where we live is facing two major problems - crime and littering. Crime, such as motor theft
or pick-pocketing, violates the law and can make people feel unsafe in their environment. First, the
city needs more police officers to prevent crimes or catch criminals. They will patrol various areas and
make sure there are no dangers or serious issues. They will also take quick action to any
emergencies. Second, it’s necessary to make laws and punishments for people who don’t follow the
law.
Another problem is littering, where trash is thrown on the ground instead of in trash bins. This
behavior makes the city look filthy and causes harm to the environment. To solve this problem, we
need to raise people’s awareness. This means we will educate people the importance of keeping
cleanliness and the negative impact of littering. There should be more trash bins in public areas.
Regular clean-up campaigns that involve community participation will also contribute to solving the
problem.
By implementing these solutions, our city will become cleaner and safer, improving the quality of life.
29. __________ Crime and littering are the two main problems which are discussed in the passage.
30. __________ Police officers are unnecessary to ensure the safety of the citizens.
31. __________ Laws and punishments are applied for people who don’t obey the law.
32. __________ We need to raise people’s awareness to harm the environment.
33. Which sentence is NOT true about police officers?
A. They prevent crimes and catch criminals. B. They patrol many areas in the neighborhood.
C. They take quick actions to any emergencies. D. They make laws and punishments.
