A- Reading
I. Read the passage carefully
Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution
comes from the land which means it come from people. First, 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 six 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 regulation, factory owners let the
waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil
is washed from the land. This can be the result of carelessness or a
deliberate dumping of waste.
