Water and Air Problems in Haryana

Introduction

The Haryana Pollution Board is trying to stop water and air pollution.

Main Body

The Yamuna River is very dirty. The city needs new water cleaning plants. These plants will take 14 months to finish. Until then, dirty water goes into the river. Illegal houses and water trucks make the river more dirty. The water has too many bad chemicals. The Board is checking 2,150 factories. They use drones to see the factories from the sky. This helps them find people who break the rules. Many building sites in Manesar and Gurugram make too much dust. They do not have cameras or walls to stop the dust. The Board will make these sites pay money.

Conclusion

The Board has new tools to watch pollution, but the cleaning plants are slow to build.

Learning

πŸ› οΈ Building Simple Sentences

Look at how the text describes things using "is/are" and "have/has". This is the secret to A2 descriptions.

1. Describing a State (How it is)

  • The river is dirty. β†’\rightarrow (Subject + is + adjective)
  • The plants are slow. β†’\rightarrow (Subject + are + adjective)

2. Describing Possession (What it has)

  • The water has chemicals. β†’\rightarrow (Something + has + thing)
  • They do not have cameras. β†’\rightarrow (Something + do not have + thing)

πŸ•’ Time & Future

When we talk about things that will happen later, use "will":

  • Plants will take 14 months.
  • The Board will make them pay.

Quick Rule: Will + Action Verb = Future event.
