听一分钟英文：Rubbish-垃圾

Rubbish is everywhere these days. I’m fed up with it. Every time I walk down the street, I’m almost falling over it. I don’t know why people can’t throw their rubbish away properly¹. They are lazy and have no respect² for others. They don’t seem to care about the environment either. It’s the same in every country. There’s litter in the streets, even though there are rubbish bins³ everywhere. Rivers are full of plastic bags and bottles. This makes a beautiful place look ugly. And the countryside is full of rubbish. People even throw their TVs and fridges into fields, or anywhere they think people won’t see them. Where I live now, people throw rubbish in the street outside their house. They think other people will pick it up.
