A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand, and wind may destroy the huge state on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the Sun God has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved. The statute had already been dug out of the sand three times. However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neughborhood and the underground passage round the satue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it. Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue . The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster. Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature for example. Although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statute becomes very hot under the trong sun. Other natural forces, such as severe sandstorms, also attck the statue. 1.

Write a letter.... Dear John, I am very happy for writing this letter to you today because this is a happy time of the year in Vietnam. It is the time of Ted, our New Year. Later I will write to tell you about some other aspects of our Vietnamese culture, but now let me just tell you about this special holiday, Tet. Tet is the start of our lunar year. It does not fall on the same date as your New Year January 1^st, but we usually celebrate it somewhere from January 15^st to February 28^st. At this time of the year, the shops are busy, especially those in the Central Market where gaily - wrapped sweets and other goodies fill the shelves. Many people come to buy and the shops are very crowded. Everyone likes to wear new clothes to start the New Year. Then, gifts must be bought for all relatives, especially for grandparents. Some streets are lined with pretty flowers and big watermelons are for on sale along others. From what I have read and heard, it is similar to your Christmas. Tet is a favorite holiday of most Vietnamese people. The culture and traditions of Tet have been passed on to us for so many generations. Before and during Tet we observe these customs and traditions. In my next letter I will tell you more about some of the special customs we observe during this time. May I close by wishing you "Cung Chuc Tan Xuan", our words for "Happy New Year" Your friend,
