Residents on march for greener Kwun Tong (extract)

(學習重點：加了螢光標記的詞組)

More than 200 Kwun Tong residents took to the streets (上街示威) yesterday to express discontent over (表達對…的不滿) their deteriorating environment and the lack of (缺乏) consultation on redevelopments plans.

Composed of children and the elderly, the protesters marched from Laguna Park (麗港城公園) to the Kwun Tong pier (觀塘碼頭) where they tied green ribbons around its fences to express their hopes for (表達對…的期望) a better living environment.

"The living environment is very important for our children," said a housewife surnamed Chui who marched with her husband and eight-year-old son. They have been Laguna City residents for 10 years.

Chui said noise, water and air pollution have all become part of the daily lives of residents, pointing out that a sewage treatment plant, two cargo working areas and a metal-recycling plant are located along the coast from Kwun Tong to Cha Kwo Ling.
