for my dad. Then I thought of knitting a sweater for him. I searched the Internet for a

Hi! My name is Marek. I've been staying in England on an exchange visit and I've
found it a very interesting experience. I've been staying with a boy called Peter and
his family for two weeks. The first thing I learnt was how to greet English people.
When I met Peter and his parents at the airport, I tried to kiss them on the cheeks.
His parents looked a bit shocked but let me kiss them. Peter just smiled and said
“Hi!”.
The city where they lived is very interesting, and is much bigger than my small
village. I've never seen so many motorways, and there's a recycling bin on every
corner. It's really noisy, though, and there are so many cars that they need to have
traffic lights everywhere!
I like it here but I think I still prefer the countryside. There are more trees and
animals, and not so many factories.
In all, I've learnt a lot from my exchange but I'll be glad to get back to Poland. I
wonder what Peter will think when he comes to stay here!

V. READING COMPREHENSION
Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes
from the land which means comes from people. First there is raw sewage, which is
pumped directly into the sea. Many countries both developed and developing are
guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships drop about 6 million ton of garbage into the sea
each year. Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks
from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water but it also kills the marine life. Next,
there are waste materials from factories. Without proper regulations, factory owners let
the waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil is
washed from land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate dumpling of
waste.
Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False
1. Sea pollution is mainly caused by people in many countries.
2. Oil from ship accidents and oil washed from land are not harmful to living things.
3. Factories throw untreated waste into the rivers.
4. Dropping garbage into the rivers is a careless or deliberate action.

5. What is the closet meaning of the word “deliberate”?
A. intentional B. occasional C. traditional D. functional
6. How many factors constitute the oceanic pollution according to the passage?

FALSE and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for the questions 15 and 16.
(1pt)
The Problem of Garbage
Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is
thrown into the sea. Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to
find about 800,000 cubic meters of empty land just to bury the garbage. This is the
same as filling one football stadium with garbage up to 20 meters high!
This garbage damages the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the
ground, some of it gets blown about in the wind. Also, when garbage is burnt,
poisonous gases are given off into the air. The garbage thrown into the sea will pollute
the water.
What can we do about these problems? Well, one very easy answer is to produce less
garbage. We can recycle things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People
can refuse to take the plastic bags from the shops and supermarkets by bringing with
them their own bags or baskets when they go shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of the pollution caused by
garbage. Education is perhaps the most important factor for keeping our environment
healthy for the future.

13. Poisonous gases are given off when we burn rubbish.


14. Educating people is probably the most important way to protect the environment.
15. Which of these don’t we usually do with our garbage?
A. Bury it in football stadium. B. Throw it into the sea.
C. Burn it. D. Bury it in the ground.

A. Glass B. Paper C. Tin cans D. Poisonous gases

FOREST FIRES
Forest fires are terrifying and destructive. A tiny mistake could cause a huge fire. They
could cause damage to forest plants and animals and even kill people. Places with the
most forest fires are Australia and California, especially during droughts. Human
activities cause most fire. For example, somebody leaves their camping site without
putting out the campfire, which can cause a fire. Lightning strikes in a hot summer can
also spark a forest fire. However, scientists say the burning is part of a natural cycle. It
helps clear off the ground and allows new trees to grow.
Forest fires are very dangerous. In a forest fire, people and forest animals could die
due to breathing the harmful smoke and because they are unable to find safe place in
time. When it is dry and there is strong wind, the fire can spread quickly and cause
severe damage. It can pollute the air and causes the loss of houses and even the lives of
