UNIT 6: THE ENVIRONMENT.
A. Reading.
Exercise 1. Read the following passage and answer the questions
Everyday on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the world, for
example, pollution problems.
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.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult everyday. We
must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.
Choose A, B, C, or D the best answer to complete the sentences below or answer the question.

Exercise 2.

More than two hundred years ago, the term environment pollution was quite strange to people. They lived healthily,
drank pure water and breathed fresh air. Nowadays, the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried
about things that are happening to the environment. Actually it is man that is destroying the surroundings with many
kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that motorbikes and cars emit dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer,
but no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle. Manufactures know that wastes from factories make water and soil
polluted, but they do not want to spend a lot of their money on treating the waste safely. Scattering garbage is bad for
our health, but no one wants to spend time burying it. Is it worth talking a lot about pollution?
