VIII. Read the passage then answer the questions.
Visual pollution has a greater effect on people than you may think.
I remember when I went to a foreign city, I was really scared because there was so much graffiti on
the buildings’ walls. Then I looked up, and I saw a lot of power lines over my head. Although they were not
dangersous, I still felt insecure since I thought they might fall down. These things prevented me from
enjoying the beautiful sights of the city.
I also remember the time I studied in Melbourne. Once I was so busy with my assignments that I did
not tidy my room for two weeks. Looking at the messy room caused me so much stress that I did not want to
study. Then I decided to clean the room and put my things in their proper places. I also bought a small plant
and placed it in a corner. These simple actions increased my motivation and helped me to focus on my
learning.
What about you? Have you ever been affected by visual pollution?
