World’s dirtiest city – level 1

World s dirtiest city

19-11-2024 07:00

Delhi is the capital of India. It is now the dirtiest city in the world, worse than Lahore in Pakistan.

The air in Delhi is very dirty because of cold weather, smoke, cars, and burning crops. People feel pain in their eyes and throats. They cannot breathe well. Some people stay inside with machines to clean the air. But many must work outside. Dirty air is very bad for old people and children. Experts say that the government needs better plans to stop this problem.

Lahore also has dirty air sometimes. The smog stays because there is no wind or rain to clean it.

Difficult words: crops (plants which farmers grow), throat (the inside part of your neck), smog (dirty air which looks like smoke and fog).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are some of the reasons for Delhi's air pollution and who are most affected by it?
