II. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. (1m)
Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspapers, 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 anywhere, 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 also affecting those people who eat fish. Seldom
do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult
every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.
