The world is divided into two important parts. One half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. In the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, a lot of people eat too much. In one part, children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have to go on diets or do some exercise to lose weight. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer countries.
The poor countries have some difficult problems. Sometimes the land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can get better, but people have to do a lot of things first. More experts should go there to teach people how to enrich their land and how to find water.
But rich countries have problems too. They are not always pleasant places to live in. Sometimes the air is too dirty to breathe and the rivers are too dirty to swim in or to take water. The roads and the streets are full of people and buses. Cars usually move very slowly. Noise is terrible. A lot of people do not have houses to live in. People must do something about these problems. We should do something to make the air and the rivers clean and build more houses. But it will take a long time.

The carved rocks in the grottoes are ancient. They slowly corrode(腐蚀)because of the acidic(酸性的)content of air and water. When they are open to the public, they corrode faster. Researchers also found that the carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic. Even the body heat can increase the grottoes’ temperature. All of these things can harm the grottoes.
Bad behavior can cause harm to grottoes as well. During the National Day holiday in October, some visitors like to draw or write things on walls. Others like to touch the statues. Because too many tourists touched it. This makes it impossible for the grottoes to keep their look.
To provide better protection, grotto workers have been asked to control the number of visitors. Tourists are also being encouraged to book tickets online and stay away from busy hours when visiting. The new policy aims to protect not only grottoes, but also visitors. Fewer people means a lower risk. People can enjoy the grottoes in a safer and more pleasant way.
