LISTEN & READ

"I want everyone to listen carefully, please. First of all, I’d like you to divide into three groups. Each group should take five plastic bags. Once you have filled a bag, come back to me as you will need another. I need group one to walk along the shore. Group two should check the sand, and group three has to check among the rocks. Mr. Jones is going to collect all the bags and take them to the garbage dump. Mrs. Smith has kindly provided a picnic lunch for us, but we won’t eat until the whole area is clean. If you can’t find your place, I will help you get there with this map. Don`t worry. . . uh ... I’m disappointed that people have spoiled this area. However, we are here to do something about this pollution. We must all work very hard. And. if we work hard, we’ll make this beach a clean and beautiful place again. OK. Now, let’s get started."

Our Oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the land, which means it comes from people. Firstly, there is raw sewage, which is pumped directly into the sea. Many countries, both developed and developing, are guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships drop about 6 million tons of garbage into the sea each year. Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water, but it also kills marine life. Next, there waste materials from factories. Without proper regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly into the rivers, which then lead to the sea. And finally, oil is washed from land. This can be a result of carelessness or deliberate dumping of waste.
