 Thirty years ago,Lake Ponkapog was full of life. Many birds and animals lived beside the water which was full of fish. Now there are few birds,animals and fish. The lake water is polluted. It is filled with strange plants.

How did this happen? First,Let’s see how water gets into Lake Ponkapog. When it rains,water comes into the lake from all around. In the past,there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog,so the water in the lake was clean.

Now there are many homes around the lake. People often use chemicals in their gardens. They also use chemicals inside their houses for cleaning or killing insects (昆蟲).

The polluted water kill the animals.

Boats on the lake are also a big problem. Lake Ponkapog is a popular place for motorboats. But oil and gas from boats also get into the lake. So more harmful chemicals go into the water in this way.

Clean rainwater is possible only if people are careful about chemicals at home and at work. They should also plant more trees and flowers around the lake. And they mustn’t use motorboats any more on the lake. All these may change people’s lives. But only then can Lake Ponkapog be a beautiful clean lake again.
