Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions from 26 to 30.
Plastic is so frequently used today that it's hard to imagine life without it. However, plastic has a serious impact on the
environment. Unlike paper, fruit peel, or fabric, it can take more than 400 years for plastic to break down. Therefore, fish
often mistake plastic debris for food and eat it, leading to deadly health problems. Animals and marine creatures can also
become trapped in plastic objects which then make it hard for them to move, eat or even breathe. Moreover, plastic pollution
can release toxic chemicals into the ecosystem, which can negatively impact both wildlife and human health. However,
there are many simple things that we can all do to help put a stop to plastic pollution. First, reduce the amount of plastic that
we consume. Avoid using straws or plastic takeaway cups, and say no to plastic bags at the store. Take along a fabric bag
instead. Second, we need to reuse the plastic items that we already have. Wash plastic containers and refill them. Use a
lunch box rather than wrapping meals in cling film. Lastly, recycle as much of your waste as possible.
