How is acid rain created?

When people use fuels (燃料)，such as coal and oil, poisonous (有毒的）gases are given off. When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations bum fuels in order to create the electricity    (電）that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars    and    trucks    also send these    gases

into the    air    when they bum gasoline. When rain mixes with these    gases,    harmful    things    called    acids

form. This is acid rain.

How does acid rain affect us?

Acid rain damages (毀壞)everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings.
