Burning garbage is harmful
A few days ago, I went to the railway station to see my friend. On the way I saw street leaners burning garbage. I know they were trying to get rid of rubbish in a way they thought was“taking a shortcut.” However, I don’t think it’s proper to clear rubbish away by such a means.
Burning things does harm to people. It’s known to all that burning rubbish will give off poisonous smoke and dust which in turn pollute air. Many people contract cancer as a result of breathing the polluted air. Some of them even die of it.
There are many things in rubbish that can be rotten decomposed, such as dry leaves, leftover food, etc. They can make very good fertilizer. So it’s better to collect them for cropland.

焚烧垃圾对人有害
几天前,我去火车站看望我的朋友。在路上我看到街道清洁工们在焚烧垃圾。我知道他们正试图用自认为“快捷的方式”来处理垃圾。然而，我并不认为通过这种方式处理垃圾是恰当的做法。
焚烧会对人们造成危害。众所周知，焚烧垃圾会释放有毒烟雾和尘埃，反而会污染空气。许多人患上癌症就是因为吸入受污染的空气。他们中的一些人甚至会死亡。
垃圾中的很多东西可以腐烂分解，如干树叶、吃剩的食物等等。它们可以做成很好的肥料。因此更好的方式是将收集的垃圾用于农田。
