The diagram illustrates how electricity is made from coal.

Overall, the process consists of numerous major steps, beginning with coal mining and ending
with electricity distribution to families and companies, with waste heat generated as a byproduct
at various stages.

The first stage includes mining coal at extraction plants. The mined coal is next crushed into
smaller pieces. This pulverized coal is then transferred to a gasifier, where it is combusted at
high temperatures to produce gas.
In the next stage, the produced gas is then conveyed to a separate facility for cooling, during
which waste heat is emitted. Once cooled, the gas undergoes a cleaning stage in which any
contaminants are eliminated. The cleaned gas is subsequently used as an input in a gas power
plant. The power plant generates and distributes electricity for both household and industrial
usage. It is worth noting that even at this level, extra waste heat is released as a byproduct.

Some people say in order to prevent illness and disease, governments should focus on
reducing environmental pollution and housing problems. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

It is said that to prevent illness and disease, the government should focus on reducing
environmental pollution and resolving housing difficulties. I strongly agree with this point of
view for a number of reasons.

To begin with, environmental contamination, including air and water pollution, causes a variety
of health concerns. Poor air quality, polluted water sources, and exposure to toxic chemicals can
cause respiratory problems, cardiovascular illness, and an increased risk of cancer. This can be
seen in large cities such as Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, where high levels of air pollution have
contributed to a considerable increase in respiratory illness in recent years. Governments play a
crucial role in regulating industries to reduce emissions, promoting renewable energy sources,
and implementing policies to ensure clean air and water. By addressing pollution, governments
may directly enhance the health of their citizens.

In addition, inadequate housing can also have a detrimental effect on health. Overcrowding, poor
living conditions, and a lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation contribute to the
development of infectious diseases. For example, in slum areas, overcrowding and substandard
living conditions contribute to the spread of infectious diseases, with children facing elevated
risks, emphasizing the need for continued government efforts to improve housing and sanitation.
By improving housing conditions, governments may create healthier environments that promote
residents' well-being.

In conclusion, I agree that environmental pollution and housing issues should be tackled by the
government to avoid illness and disease.
