Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Beijing to ban
vehicles for V-Day parade
Proud air quality
in the nation’s capital. Beijing is known for its unbearably polluted air quality.
However, the sky becomes blue and clear in certain period of time when they host
international events. For example, when they hosted APEC summit last November,
the city enjoyed “APEC blue sky,” thanks to the restriction on use of cars and suspension
of operation of some air-polluting business and factories.
This year, the
city is hosting the IAAF, International Association of Athletes Federations, World
Championships 2015 from Aug 22 to 30. They are also celebrating the anniversary
of victory in World War II, specifically against Japan, on Sept 3 with a big
military parade, which some of the world leaders are invited to attend.
During the period,
vehicles to be restricted on capital's roads, construction and demolition works
are all suspended to ensure clean air in the capital.
It sounds great
for visitors to the city but what do the residents, workers and businesses
think?
Enjoy reading and
learning what the government can do to improve air quality.
