Firstly, buy sustainable products. Plastic is one of the most significant contributors to soil and water
pollution, endangering both the land and water life. Fish and animals often eat plastic because they mistake
it as food. So, when you’re buying school supplies like folders and pens, or buying toys and home
accessories, try to look for more eco-friendly alternatives. For example, buy a reusable bottle for water
instead of bottled water. It’s not only cheaper but also much better for the environment.
Secondly, only buy what you need. Think about your purchasing habits. Do you buy too many
products? Can you do without some of the things that you often buy? Are you a responsible consumer?
Simply buying more because of tempting offers or discounts will actually cost us and the environment
more. By buying only what you need, you reduce the amount of waste, and thus pollution. As natural
resources are limited, our big consumption can contribute to exhausting them.
1. Why is plastic not environment-friendly?
 (Plastic is not environment-friendly) because it pollutes soil and water.
2. What products should we look for when we buy school or home supplies?
 We should look for more eco-friendly products.
3. What may make people buy more than they need?
 Offers and discounts.
4. What does big consumption lead to?
 Big consumption can lead to reducing/exhausting our limited natural resources.
5. What does ‘eco-friendly’ mean?
 It means not harmful to the ecosystem/environment.
Exercise 13.Read the text, and do the tasks that follow.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
Question: Where’s the biggest garbage dump in the world?
Answer: It’s in the North Pacific Ocean.
Incredibly, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is bigger than the US. It was discovered in 1997 by Captain
Charles Moore, who was sailing to California after a boat race. Moore told scientists that he’d seen millions
of plastic bottles, bags, and other trash in the water. He later published articles about his experience, and
even presented YouTube videos.
Scientists discovered that the plastic in the ‘Patch’ was kept together by collecting plastic in its centre and
stopping it from escaping. The plastic breaks into tiny parts, until it looks like ‘plastic soup’. Non-
biodegradable materials, like metal and most kinds of plastic, aren’t very environmentally friendly because
they can last for hundreds of years.
Question: How was the Great Pacific Garbage Patch created?
Answer: It was made by people like you and me.
39
Look around. How many plastic objects can you see right now? The average American uses around 190
pounds (86 kilograms) of plastic every year. Only around half of all plastic trash is buried in garbage
dumps. Plastic trash which isn’t buried often ends up in rivers and streams, and eventually reaches the
ocean.
This plastic water pollution can hurt or kill sea animals, including endangered species. For example, rare
loggerhead sea turtles sometimes eat plastic bags because they look like their favourite food jellyfish.
Plastic is dangerous for US, too. It’s eaten by fish, which we may then eat ourselves. Even more worryingly,
plastic stops sunlight from reaching algae, which then dies. Algae are very useful because they absorb
harmful carbon dioxide gases (a major cause of global warming), and they also make up about 70 percent
of all the oxygen we breathe.
Question: How can we solve the problem?
Answer: We can’t!
Unfortunately, experts have said that it would be impossible to ‘clean’ the whole ocean. It’s too big.
What we can do is teach people about the dangers of ocean trash. In 2010, David de Rothschild sailed from
California to Australia in a boat which he called the Plastiki. It was made from 12,5000 plastic bottles. The
voyage was reported around the world and helped to publicize the problem.
You can help too, by making sure you always put your trash in a bin. Use less plastic if you can. For
example, use paper bags instead of plastic bags, and don't buy chewing gum. Not many people know this,
but it’s also made from plastic.
1. Why was Captain Charles Moore sailing in the Pacific Ocean?
 Because was sailing to California after a boat race.
2. How does our plastic trash reach the ocean?
 Plastic trash which isn't buried often ends up in rivers and streams, and eventually reaches the
ocean.
3. What living things sometimes eat plastic trash?
 They are loggerhead sea turtles.
4. How did the voyage on the Plastiki help?
 It helped to publicize the problem of plastic trash.
5. How can student readers help?
 We can put our trash in a bin, and use less plastic if we can.

Pollution and its Negative Effects
40
 . .
Pollution is the degradation of natural environment by external substances introduced directly or
indirectly. Human health, ecosystem quality and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity may be affected and
altered permanently by pollution.
Pollution occurs when ecosystems can not get rid of substances introduced into the environment.
The critical threshold of its ability to naturally eliminate substances is compromised and the balance of the
ecosystem is broken.
The sources of pollution are numerous. The identification of these different pollutants and their
effects on ecosystems is complex. They can come from natural disasters or the result of human activity,
such as oil spills, chemical spills nuclear accidents... These can have terrible consequences on people and
the planet where they live: destruction of the biodiversity, increased mortality of human and animal
species, destruction of natural habitat, damage caused to the quality of soil, water and air ..
Preventing pollution and protecting the environment necessitate application of the principles of
sustainable development. We have to consider satisfy the needs of today without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their needs. This means that we should remedy existing pollution, but also
anticipate and prevent future pollution sources in order to protect the environment and public health. Any
environmental damage must be punishable by law, and polluters should pay compensation for the damage
caused to the environment.
1. What is the pollution?
 Pollution is the degradation of natural environment by external substances introduced directly or
indirectly.
Grace Rees has recently taken part in Clean Up Australia Day. She spent the day collecting drinks
containers, sweet wrappers and small pieces of paper from a beach near her home.
Grace has been involved in this event for about five years now. ‘I’ve always done it with my school, but this
year my friends and I decided to register as our own group. We think it’s good not only to pick up the
rubbish, but to bring people’s attention to the fact that there is a lot of rubbish out there. If you do it with
friends and family, then it means you can have fun and do something useful at the same time. It’s an
important thing to do. We have such a beautiful environment, and rubbish spoils it.’

bottles, cans, paper to reduce garbage. Using public transports and decreasing the number of motorbikes
and cars are also good ways to reduce carbonic in the air. Besides, we should purify contaminated lakes or
rivers in order to lessen the pollution in the water. Last but not least, the gorvernment should propagandize
about protecting the environment to everybody so that they can aware of it. Especially, we need to punish
people who contaminate the environment with great severity. In conclusion, the Earth is our home so
protecting it is everyone's responsibility.

sent a big cloud of ash 8 kilometres up into the air. This was dangerous for planes because the pilots
couldn’t see in the ash cloud.

Exercise 18. Read the passage and answer the questions.
A tropical cyclone is a circular air movement over the warm ocean waters in the warm part of Earth
near the equator. Most tropical cyclones are storms with strong winds and heavy rains. While some tropical
cyclones stay out in the sea, others pass over land. This can be dangerous because the winds and floods can
break things and drown people.
38
 . .
Tropical cyclones form when warm, moist ocean air rises. They begin as a group of storm winds when
the water gets as hot as 27°c or hotter. The Coriolis effect made by the Earth’s rotation causes the winds to
rotate. These storms usually move westward in the tropics, and later move north or south into the
temperate zone.
The term “tropical cyclone” is a general term and includes regionally specific terms such as “hurricane”
and “typhoon”. A tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic is called a hurricane. The same is true of those
that form in the eastern, central and northern Pacific. In the western Pacific a tropical cyclone is called a
typhoon. In the Indian Ocean they are called “cyclones”. The name for a tropical cyclone depends on its
location.

Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural disasters, causing the largest members of casualties, the
highest death tolls, and greater destruction. In 1556 in China, the deadliest earthquake in history killed
830,000 people. But many other earthquakes have caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people, and it is
not unusual, even in modern times, for an earthquake death toll to reach 20,000 to 30,000, with hundreds of
thousands left homeless and injured. The floodwaters of the 2004 tsunami in Sumatra, which killed over

A poll, carried out by YouGov for children's charity Barnardo's, asked children and adults across
Britain for their predictions on how young people will talk to each other in 30 years' time. Only 13% of 8 to
18-year-old think young people will send letters and postcards to each other by the year 2049. Around one-
third said they think holograms, and body and brain implants will be used. According to the poll, the most
popular way of communicating will be by wearable technology.
There are some worries about making sure that people are OK to use technology. Barnardo's wants
more to be done to make sure that kids, in particular, are kept as safe as possible when they're using future
tech and interacting with other people. The charity's Chief Executive, Javed Khan said: "The Internet and
new technologies have transformed how young people learn, play and communicate - but it's also created
new risks to children's safety and wellbeing. Our laws and systems must keep pace with technological
change so we can protect children effectively on and offline."

Exercise 13.Read the passage and answer the questions.
Feedback is the essential part of communication. Without it, the communication process becomes
incomplete. Feedback is the response of a receiver to a message they get from the sender. The form of
feedback varies with the way of communication. Sometimes feedback could be non-verbal like a smile,
sigh, or facial gesture. This kind of feedback is immediate and direct. It often appears during a face-to-
face conversation. Most of the time, feedback is verbal. Verbal feedback can be oral as when you react to
a colleague’s talk with questions or comments, or it can be written when you reply to an e-mail or
online message, or when you comment on a student's essay. Written feedback is less immediate.
Sometimes it may be delayed for days.
When people send a message, they wait for feedback. Effective communicators pay close attention
to feedback. They want to be sure that the message has got through to the right person and that the
receiver has understood the message as it is intended. They also want to know the receiver’s reaction to
what they share.

Exercise 2.Listen and complete each missing information with a word from the listening.
One way we might see communication change in the future is through augmented reality. This could
take the form of a smartphone or a set of augmented-reality glasses.
The classic example of augmented reality is the restaurant (1) review. You could stand in front of a
restaurant and through an augmented-reality system, read customer reviews or view the daily specials
without ever walking inside. This (2) application might go to people as well. Imagine looking at a stranger
and seeing that person’s name, Facebook profile, and other information. In both examples, no conversation
is necessary. Such systems are already in (3) development, and they will certainly raise concerns about
privacy and safety.
Language barriers are disappearing as well. For example, a group of tourists travel in a country whose
language they don’t know. They can speak in their language on the phone, and the application they have
(4) downloaded on the phone will translate what they said into that language. Such application allows
people from different countries and cultures to (5) communicate without the need for an interpreteror
translator anymore.
Exercise 3. Listen and fill in the missing words.
How do young people communicate today?
Nowadays, teenagers seem to communicate with their peers more on electronic devices than in (1)
person. They chat with their friends using messaging applications and (2) social networking sites. They
chat about almost everything, from homework and games to music trends. Their conversations tend to be
short but can last for (3) hours. Many teenagers prefer this way of communicating to talking (4) face-to-
face. They say that it is more (5) convenient, and they can do many things while chatting. They may be
exchanging (6) instant messages with several friends and playing their favorite games at the same time.
Exercise 4. Listen and fill in the missing words.
FUTURE COMMUNICATION
One way we might see communication (1) change in the future is through augmented reality (AR). In an
augmented-reality System, you view the world through a technological overlay. This could take the form of
a hand-held device like a (2) smartphone - there are several augmented-reality applications already
available for some phones. Another possible application is through a set of augmented-reality glasses. In
either case, you can view the world around you and see real-time digital information about what you’re
viewing.
Then there’s video (3) conferencing. While the technology has existed for years, video calls aren’t
popular. It might be because the hardware hasn’t been compelling or cost-effective (4) enough. But now
webcams are starting to appear on televisions and are Standard on many laptops. Are we about to enter an
era of video conferencing? In the distant future, we may be able to communicate by sending our thoughts
through a network (5) directly into someone else’s brain. We’re decades away from such technology, but
29
scientists are working on creating brain-computer interfaces that allow people to transmit thoughts directly
to a Computer. Perhaps 50 years from now we’ll all use an electronic version of (6) telepathy.

Exercise 5.Listen to the passage and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
True False
1. The first text message was sent to engineer Neil Papworth in 1992. 
2. The first text message simply said “Merry Christmas”. 
3. Today SMS is a widely used form of communication. 
4. Around nine billion text messages are sent worldwide every year. 
5. An average US teen supposedly sends more than 60 text messages a day. 
6. The texting acronym “LOL” is in the dictionary as “Lots of Love”. 
Tapscripts:
The very first, simple, text message was sent on December 3rd, 1992. It was sent by software engineer
Neil Papworth to his boss at the British mobile phone operator Vodafone. It read simply, "Merry
Christmas". Little did they know that their simple mode of communication would take the world by
storm. SMS (Short Message Service) is today a multi-billion-dollar industry covering every corner of the
globe. An estimated nine trillion text messages are sent globally each year. Everyone from presidents to
schoolchildren to villagers in remote parts of developing countries relies on it to communicate.
SMS is now an integral part of daily life for most of us. It is the preferred method of
communication between family members. One study showed that the average American teenager sends
up to 60 texts a day. However, SMS has also been blamed for a decline in language ability and an
increase in traffic accidents. A new sub-language has spread worldwide as texters find shortcuts to write
their messages as quickly as possible using the fewest possible characters. Texting shorthand such as
LOL (laugh out loud) and OMG (oh my god) has even entered the Oxford English Dictionary.

Exercise 6. Write a paragraph (80 -100 words) about a way of communication that you often use.
There are several ways of communication, including face-to-face conversation, phone calls, text
messaging, email, social media, and video conferencing.
One way of communication that I like best is face-to-face conversation. While technology has made it
much eaiser to communicate with people across great distance, there is something special about being
able to sit down and talk to someone in person. When you are face-to-face with someone, you can pick
up on nonverbal cues like facial expressions and body language, which can help you better understand
their message and intentions. Additionally, face-to-face conversation allows for a more personal and
intimate connection between people, which can be especially important in building and maintaining
relationships. While other forms of communication like phone calls, text messages, and video chats have
their benefits, I believe that face-to-face conversation is the most effective and meaningful way to
communicate with others.

33 34
 . .
In an experiment, researchers encouraged two African savanna elephants to reach their trunks toward
some apples. As the elephants moved and turned their skillful trunk to smell the fruits, scientists filmed
them with a high-speed camera. They discovered that muscles are not the only thing that enable an
elephant to stretch and twist its trunk. Skin also plays an important part in its movements. They noticed
that all parts of a trunk do not extend evenly. The folded skin at the top of the trunk stretches 15 per cent
farther than at the base part. Because the skin can fold, an elephant’s trunk can reach downward or
upward, or it can also extend like an umbrella. According to scientists, this special skin setup is “the
elephant’s innovation”.
The findings help engineers think about building softer robotics and wrap the robotics with a material
like elephants’ skin. They believe the skin-like material can increase strength and protection to robots.

Statements T F NG
1. An elephant can gather food and eat thanks to its wrinkly skin.
2. The experiment was carried out in Africa.
3. Scientists filmed the elephants when they were using their trunks
to reach the fruits.
4. The skin at the base stretches more than that at the top of the trunk.
5. The findings are important for engineers in developing robots.
Exercise 14. Read the passage about computers and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Do you own a PDA - Personal Digital Assistant? Have you got a personal computer? Have you ever
used a laptop? The answer can be “Yes”. But do you know that the first computer was made about 70 years
ago? It was large enough to take up a living room. It was named ENIAC - Electronic Numerical Integrator
and Calculator.
Thanks to the development of technology, computers are becoming smaller and smaller. The first
personal computer was actually introduced in the 1970s by MITS, Apple Computer and IBM. They didn’t
look exactly like now but they were surely revolutionary at the time.
Scientists are finding ways to make computers as smaller and slimmer as possible. Some of today's
computers are small enough to carry out in pockets. But technology doesn’t stop there. They will continue
to bring out smaller computers. Who knows? Maybe one day we will not need big desktops or laptops. We
may need a computer chip that is as small as a fingernail.
Statements T F
1. The first computer was made 70 years ago.
2. The ENIAC was small enough to carry around.
3. MITS, Apple Computer and IBM were the first to introduce personal
computers.
4. Today computers are not as small and slim as the previous ones.

5. Fingernail size computer chips will soon be a new revolution.
Exercise 15. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
Becky Schroeder, Gio-Sheet
Becky was only 10 years old when she was attempting to do homework in her mom's car. As it got
darker outside, she had the idea that there should be a way to make her paper easier to see in the dark.
Becky took matters into her own hands and began playing around with phosphorescent materials, which
emitted light but without heat. She then used phosphorescent paint to cover an acrylic board and the Glow-
Sheet was created.
In 1974, at the age of 12, Becky became the youngest women to be granted a U.S. patent for her Gio-
Sheet invention.

Exercise 16.Read the text and answer the questions.
Dr. NakaMats
The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented
more things than anyone else in Japan, and maybe the world. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, or Dr. NakaMats as he
calls himself, has the world record for the most inventions. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over
the last fifty years or so. He is a celebrity in Japan, and has appeared on TV with his creations. Although Dr.
NakaMats did some early designs for a floppy disk and a digital watch, he is most well-known for his more
unusual inventions.
Some examples of the strange things he has created are: glasses which look like eyes so you can’t notice
them, shoes which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, a pillow which stops you from falling
asleep when you are driving, an aluminum mechanism which lifts up a toilet seat, and even a one-person
plastic car which is powered by water.
36
 . .
How does he come up with these ideas? Apparently, he finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the
thing that makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool
every day and stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new
ideas. He also dives with a waterproof pencil and rubber notebook which he invented. He needs to write
down his ideas immediately in the water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. NakaMats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some
snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an armchair which helps to improve your
brainpower. He sits in his chair every day to give him more good ideas.

One of the most interesting scientific discoveries in 2022 is about an elephant's trunk. Using its trunk,
an elephant can smell, communicate, store water, gather food and eat. The key lies in the animal’s wrinkly
skin.
In an experiment, researchers encouraged two African savanna elephants to reach their trunks toward
some apples. As the elephants moved and turned their skillful trunk to smell the fruits, scientists filmed
them with a high-speed camera. They discovered that muscles are not the only thing that enable an
elephant to stretch and twist its trunk. Skin also plays an important part in its movements. They noticed
that all parts of a trunk do not extend evenly. The folded skin at the top of the trunk stretches 15 per cent
farther than at the base part. Because the skin can fold, an elephant’s trunk can reach downward or
upward, or it can also extend like an umbrella. According to scientists, this special skin setup is “the
elephant’s innovation”.
The findings help engineers think about building softer robotics and wrap the robotics with a material
like elephants’ skin. They believe the skin-like material can increase strength and protection to robots.

Exercise 14. Read the passage about computers and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Do you own a PDA - Personal Digital Assistant? Have you got a personal computer? Have you ever
used a laptop? The answer can be “Yes”. But do you know that the first computer was made about 70 years
ago? It was large enough to take up a living room. It was named ENIAC - Electronic Numerical Integrator
and Calculator.
Thanks to the development of technology, computers are becoming smaller and smaller. The first
personal computer was actually introduced in the 1970s by MITS, Apple Computer and IBM. They didn’t
look exactly like now but they were surely revolutionary at the time.
Scientists are finding ways to make computers as smaller and slimmer as possible. Some of today's
computers are small enough to carry out in pockets. But technology doesn’t stop there. They will continue
to bring out smaller computers. Who knows? Maybe one day we will not need big desktops or laptops. We
may need a computer chip that is as small as a fingernail.

Becky Schroeder, Gio-Sheet
Becky was only 10 years old when she was attempting to do homework in her mom's car. As it got
darker outside, she had the idea that there should be a way to make her paper easier to see in the dark.
Becky took matters into her own hands and began playing around with phosphorescent materials, which
emitted light but without heat. She then used phosphorescent paint to cover an acrylic board and the Glow-
Sheet was created.
In 1974, at the age of 12, Becky became the youngest women to be granted a U.S. patent for her Gio-

Dr. NakaMats
The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented
more things than anyone else in Japan, and maybe the world. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, or Dr. NakaMats as he
calls himself, has the world record for the most inventions. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over
the last fifty years or so. He is a celebrity in Japan, and has appeared on TV with his creations. Although Dr.
NakaMats did some early designs for a floppy disk and a digital watch, he is most well-known for his more
36
 . .
Some examples of the strange things he has created are: glasses which look like eyes so you can’t notice
them, shoes which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, a pillow which stops you from falling
asleep when you are driving, an aluminum mechanism which lifts up a toilet seat, and even a one-person
plastic car which is powered by water.
How does he come up with these ideas? Apparently, he finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the
thing that makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool
every day and stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new
ideas. He also dives with a waterproof pencil and rubber notebook which he invented. He needs to write
down his ideas immediately in the water because they disappear quickly.
Dr. NakaMats believes that eating the right food is important for creativity, and he has invented some
snacks that he says are good for your brain. He has also invented an armchair which helps to improve your
brainpower. He sits in his chair every day to give him more good ideas.
