II. Read the text and choose the correct answers for the questions.
Pollution is when something is added to the environment that is harmful or poisonous to living things.
There are four main types of pollution: air, water, noise, and soil or land pollution. Smoke or dust in
the air is a type of pollution because it is bad for the lungs when we breathe in. Sewage in drinking
water is another type of pollution. It can make people ill because it contains germs and viruses. People
living next to a building site where there is too much noise can become sick because of lack of sleep.
Dangerous chemicals can seep into soil from litter and other man-made chemicals.
Once released into the environment, pollution can affect wildlife habitats for years. It’s easy to blame
factories, but some of the mess comes from everyday human activities. For instance, car exhaust
fumes and excess garbage can seriously harm Earth’s health. As pollution grows, ways to combat it
have grown, too. Solar energy and wind energy give people other ways to power their homes. When
people use these alternative forms of energy, they put less carbon dioxide into the environment.
You can probably clean your room in a couple of hours. At least we hope you can. But you can’t cram
Earth’s pollution problem into your closet. We all need to pitch in and clean up the planet.

C. noise in a building site D. solar energy or wind energy

A. support B. change C. fight D. maintain

Plastics are made from fossil fuels, finite and environmentally damaging resources. Post-World War II,
plastic production took on a new form, replacing product materials prior to it in a revolutionary way.
Plastics allowed us to develop more efficient machinery, advanced medical practices and travel and
helped in the fight for providing clean drinking water.
However, there are many problems with plastic, with the main issue being its non-biodegradable
nature (some plastics can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade). Single-use plastics are, therefore, a
big problem. Single-use plastics are essentially plastic products that are made from fossil fuel-based
chemicals, like petrochemicals, that are meant to be used once and disposed of right after. Bottles,
straws and shopping bags are all single-use plastics.
So, what happens is, single-use plastics are produced and used in mass, around the world, every day.
This, hand in hand with improper disposal (non-recycling) and littering, produce plastic pollution on a
global scale.
