READING. Read this article and do Tasks A and B. 5 x 0.2 = 1 mark

A Plastic Ocean is a film to make you think. Think, and then act. We need to take action on our
dependence on plastic. We have been producing plastic in huge quantities since the 1940s. Drink
bottles, shopping bags, toiletries and even clothes are made with plastic. We live in a world full of
waste and too little is recycled. What happens to all the rest? This is the question the film A Plastic
Ocean answers. It is a documentary that looks at the impact that plastic waste has on the
environment.

The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the Blue Whale. But during the
journey the filmmakers make the shocking discovery of a huge, thick layer of plastic floating in the
middle of the Indian Ocean. 1- _____. In total, they visited 20 locations around the world during the
four years it took them to make the film. The documentary premiered in 2016 and is now on
streaming services such as Netflix.

It is very clear that a lot of research went into the film. There are beautiful shots of the seas and
marine life. 2- _____. We see how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping
in the ocean. The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.

3- _____. In the second half, the filmmakers look at what we can do to reverse the tide of plastic
flowing around the world. They present short-term and long-term solutions. These include avoiding
plastic containers and 'single-use' plastic products as much as possible. Reuse your plastic bags and
recycle as much as you can. The filmmakers also stress the need for governments to work more on
recycling programmes.

Once you have seen A Plastic Ocean, you'll realise the time is now and we all have a role to play.

Task A: Match the sentences A-D to gaps 1-3in the text. There is one sentence you do not need
to use.

A

B

D

Task B: Find the words or phrases in the article which mean:
