No other sporting event captures the world’s imagination like FIFA World Cup. Ever
since the first competition in Uruguay in 1930, FIFA’s flagship has constantly grown in
popularity and prestige. A group of visionary French football administrators led in the 1920s by
the innovative Jules Rimet is credited with the original idea of bringing the world’s strongest
national football teams together to compete for the title of world champions. The original gold
trophy bore Jules Rimet’s name and was contested three times in the 1930s before the Second
World War put a 12-year stop to the competition. When it resumed, the FIFA World Cup rapidly
advanced to its undisputed status as the greatest single sporting event of the modern world. Held
since 1958 alternately in Europe and America, the World Cup broke a new ground with the
Executive Committee’s decision in May 1996 to select Korea and Japan as co-hosts for the 2002
edition.

Today, the FIFA World Cup holds the entire global public under its spell. An
accumulated audience of over 3.7 billion people watched the France 98 tournament including
approximately 1.3 billion for the final alone, while over 2.7 million people flocked to watch the
64 matches in the French stadiums.

Pollution spoils our environment in many ways. The air we breathe, for instance, is constantly

For wildlife, however, there are even greater dangers in the pollution of water of rivers, for
example or lakes and seas. A good illustration of this is oil released from the tankers at sea. It kills
all kinds of sea animals, including birds, whose feathers become covered with oil so they cannot
fly, as well as fish and other forms of marine life. Other causes of water pollution include power
stations, which release warm water into rivers. This kills the fish and plants which live there. These
are only a few examples, there are many more.

3. How do power stations cause water pollution?

V. Writing: Finish each sentence in such a way that it means exactly the same as the one printed
