     Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.

     Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world.

     Cars emit deadly gas that causes illnesses, such as bronchitis, lung cancer and 'triggers'  of asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.

     Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them do die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.

     Thirdly, cars are noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at night,or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.

     In conclusion, cars should be banned in the city, for the the reasoning listed.

                               One Small reason why we should  all learn to choose wood

One of the biggest threat to our children future is climate change caused by global warming.

There's no single, simple solution, but we'd like to tell you about what the good wood can do and why all of us should, wherever possible, be using it.

Trees suck in carbon dioxide out of the air and lock it away, so forestry is a vital pa part of any strategy so slow global warning. When we when we use the wood, the carbon stays locked up and the replanted trees start the cycle again.

And, despite what you might believe, Europe's stock of trees is actually growing, as we currently plant more than two trees for every one that we cut.

Not only is wood renewable, but it takes less for energy to fell, transport, and process than other building materials. And because it's a natural insulator, timber houses use less fuel to heat.

So, next time when you need a new floor, window replacement, a patio, or new kitchen, stop for just a moment and remember all those little reasons for choosing wood.
