TASK 3: Read the text, then say true or false:
ur oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the land, which means it
comes from eople. 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 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 lead
to the sea. And finally, oil is washed from the land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate
dumping of waste.

Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains and
poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped any where, even in the city where many people
are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea,
and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes
that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish.
