The Plastiki looks similar to many other boats in Sydney harbour. It's eighteen metres long, six
metres wide and it weighs about twelve thousand kilogrammes. It carries a crew of six people and has
an average speed of five knots. However, once you get near to the Plastiki you realise there's a big
difference. It's made of twelve thousand five hundred re-used plastic bottles.
David de Rothschild is an environmentalist who has crossed Antarctica and explored the Ecuadorian
Amazon. One day he was reading some information about all the plastic in the seas and oceans. He
couldn't believe what he was reading. For example, humans throw away four out of every five plastic
bottles they use, and plastic rubbish causes about eighty per cent of the pollution in the sea. In addition,
scientists think that around one million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution. De Rothschild
decided he wanted to help fight pollution in the sea. To help more people understand the problem, he
started building a boat made of plastic bottles.
As well as building the boat with recycled plastic, it was important for him to make the boat
environmentally friendly and user-friendly. The boat uses renewable energy such as wind power and
solar energy. The crew can make meals with vegetables from the small garden at the back of the boat.
They can take a break from work and get some exercise by using the special exercise bicycle. The
energy from the bike provides power for the boat's computers. And if anyone needs to take a shower, the
boat's shower uses saltwater from the sea.
(Adapted from Life by John Hughes, Helen Stephenson and Paul Dummett)

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 from 36 to 42.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes
mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as
laughing at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him
dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was
shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California,
who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided
to take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from
London to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the
search for 'dancing man', he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided
not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women
- all 1,700 of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the
party in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake
as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the
story of how he and the women's group in California took a stance against cyberbullying was reported
around the world. As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an online
forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimised could receive support. The 'dancing
man' himself has become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so
badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about
the people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put
the spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that
the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to deal with
cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make it clear that we are
uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that bullying is
completely unacceptable.
