The river in the village doesn't look like it used to. It turned black, and debris such as
plastic waste, styrofoam, fallen leaves and clothes floated on the surface of the river.
Meanwhile the banks of the river also changed.
Garbage scattered and piled up in every corner is now a common sight in these
rivers. This shows that this river is so polluted that the water is no longer healthy.

TRUE FALSE
From the 1950s to 2015, the production of plastic products grew from virtually zero to
about 350 million tons per year. This continuous increase has resulted in a cumulative total of
7.8 billion tons of plastic produced during this period, corresponding to more than one ton of
plastic for each person alive as of the end of 2015.
Up until the 1980s, the idea of recycling plastic was unheard of. From the 1950s to
the 1980s, plastics were either simply discardedinto landills or incinerated. From the onset of
plastic recycling in the 1980s to the present, the portion of plastic products that were recycled
increased by an average of 0.7% per year.
As of the end of 2015, a staggering 55% of all plastic products end up in landills. This
corresponds to about 4600 million tons ofaccumulated plastic waste over the years. About
700 million tons of plastic waste has been incinerated and about 2500 million tons remain in
active use.
Of the entire volume of plastics that have been produced since the 1950s, only 500
million tons (roughly 6%) have been recycled. Of this portion, only 100 million tons remain in
active use.
The other 400million tons have also ended up either getting discarded in landills or
incinerated. Around 3% of plastic waste produced annually ends up in oceans – or about 8
million tons by the end of 2015.
By use, packaging of goods constitutes the greatest volume of usage of plastic
products at around 141 million tons. The next category has a volume of less than half – the
building and construction industry atonly 65 million tons. This emphasizes how heavy plastic
production can be reduced by using non-plastic alternatives for product packaging. Looking at
the plastic production rates percountry, China leads the pack by a huge margin at around 60
million tons. The US comes in at second at 38 million tons.

Short answer
Emma: I think Ryan's family should have stayed abroad so that Ryan could have gone to school.
Edward: In my opinion, it is okay that Ryan wants to work. He wasted much important time at school.
Emma: I knew he was naughty boy at school. Wouldn't you agree that it's better that he has a good
education so that he can have a better life than his family in the future?
Edward: I see what you mean, but we can't live from school. We can only live from money. Ryan has
considered it.
Emma: I don't understand why you said it. Without any good education, you can't earn much money.
Carlos: In my opinion, the education cannot decide how much money you will get. The most important
thing is whether you are serious or not when you are working. When you go to school, but you are not
serious, you will fail. However, now you can work hard, you get much money. This is luck, right?
Perhaps, Ryan's parents have thought about it. They know their own son.
Emma: Well, we will see what the future will bring. However, I appreciate what Ryan has decided.
