persuade explain warn	From the mid 1800s until the 1950s   large cities in Britain, such as London and Manchester, suffered every winter from thick, yellow fog. It was caused by smoke from burning coal in homes and factories. Many people became ill from it every year. Eventually the government passed laws to control the amount of the fuel that could be burnt in the cities and the fog disappeared.
recommend promise compare	There are several ways that you can use   less power in your home. First of all, if you are cold, put on a jumper instead of turning up the heating.
