Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
 Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find
paradise. But when I arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were
covered in plastic rubbish washed up from around the world. As I dug through the
sand, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach. A
chill went down my spine. From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain,
we are polluting our own environment.
Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before. The plastic we
see on our beaches is just a small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our
oceans. Scientists believe that sea currents have created five huge garbage areas in
our oceans, including the one in the North Atlantic. This is a global problem for
which we are all responsible.
Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of
control. Because plastic rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by
small fish, which in turn is eaten by large fish, which in turn is eaten by us. Plastic is
damaging our beaches, polluting the oceans, and poisoning our food chain. The
consequences are still not fully understood, but they are likely to be terrible.
We need to stop using plastic bags for packaging and single-use water
bottles. These make up most of the plastic garbage in the oceans. In Bangladesh
and Kenya, they have stopped using plastic bags completely. The UK has put a tax
on plastic bags. Many supermarkets around the world are not packing goods in
plastic.
The future of our beaches, our seas, and the food chain is at risk. This is an
environmental problem that we need to solve immediately.
