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 are waste materials from factories. Without proper
regulations, factory owners let the waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil is
washed from land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate dumping of waste.
31. Our oceans are becoming very polluted.

The country is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. Many people think so, and go to the
country for summer holidays though they cannot live there all the year around. Some have a cottage built in a village
so that they can go there whenever they can find the time.
English villages are not all like, but in some ways they are not very different from one another. Almost every
village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for many miles around. Surrounding the church
is the churchyard where people are buried.
The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now
fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so close to
some small towns that people can go there to buy what they cannot find in the village shops.

Bad weather comes in many different forms. One kind of bad weather is the tornado. It is one of the most

A tornado is a long cloud which comes down from the sky. It is shaped like a funnel and consists of wind
which whirls around and around extremely fast. In fact, the wind can reach a speed of more than nine hundred
kilometers per hour. Weather scientists are unable to know exactly when a tornado will occur. Fortunately, the
tornado is not usually very big and it does not last long.
There are about two hundred tornadoes every year in the United States, but in some years there are
many more. Tornadoes that occur over water are called waterspouts.

As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example,
Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have
high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat.
The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese live longer than anyone else
in the world. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the United States, the rates of heart disease and cancer
increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice.cream, and other high.fat foods become popular in
Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy
products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these
countries are increasing along with the change of the diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat
more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.
