Last holiday I went to Paris. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter
taught me a few words of French. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not
understand a word.
Everyday I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my
friends.
On the last day I made a big decision, I got up early and bought thirty seven cards. I spent the
whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!

Suratmo lives on the banks of the Citarum River. The man started to fish in the Citarum River when he was a
teenager. When he grew up, he decided to become a fisherman. After being a sand miner, being a fisherman
was the second main job for people living in this area. It was a good decision. Until seventeen years ago,
everything was fine, and since five years ago, it started to get worse. Suratmo caught fewer fish after that
time. He caught less and less fish.
In fact, he often came home empty-handed. As a breadwinner, he had to think a lot about his life. He said he
could no longer be called a fisherman. Instead, he should be called a scavenger because he collected and sold
plastic waste to make a living. He collected the garbage from the same river he washed - the Citarum River.
The Citarum River has often been called the most polluted river in the world. Every day, this river receives no
less than 20,000 tons of garbage and 340,000 tons of sewage. The sewage came from about 2,000 textile
factories. The waste killed the fish and destroyed the environment.
The Citarum River is the third largest river in Java. However, since 2008, almost 60% of the fish species
have disappeared due to the presence of chemicals that have killed the animals living in and drinking from
the river. However, since 2008, almost 60% of the fish species have disappeared due to the presence of
chemicals that have killed the animals living in and drinking from the river.
Dead animals can be found along with garbage and trash.
The polluted water of the river caused people to suffer from skin and respiratory diseases, in addition to the
bad smell and color. Farmers lost their crops, and the surrounding area, including Suratmo and the 25 million
people who live near the river, faced hardships. These people also rely on the electricity generated by the
river.

7. How has Suratmo's livelihood evolved over time, and what factors contributed to this change?
Answer: Suratmo's livelihood changed from fishing in the Citarum River during his teenage years
to becoming a full-time fisherman as an adult. However, due to declining fish populations, he
eventually turned to collecting and selling plastic waste from the same river to make a living.
Factors contributing to this change include a significant decrease in fish catches over time, which
made fishing unsustainable, and severe pollution of the river, which made it difficult for fish to
survive.
8. What significant environmental challenges does the Citarum River face, and how have these
challenges impacted Suratmo's life and the lives of those living nearby?
Answer: The Citarum River faces significant environmental challenges, mainly due to pollution
from various sources, including industrial waste and sewage. This pollution has had a profound
impact on the lives of Suratmo and those living nearby, causing a decline in fish populations and a
shift in livelihoods to plastic waste scavenging. In addition, the polluted water has caused health
problems such as skin and respiratory diseases. It has also affected agricultural productivity and
created hardship for the local community.
9. What are some specific consequences of the pollution in the Citarum River, both in terms of
environmental degradation and its effects on human health and livelihoods?
Answer: Pollution in the Citarum River has led to numerous consequences, including
environmental degradation and negative impacts on human health and livelihoods.
Environmentally, the presence of chemicals and waste has killed nearly 60% of fish species,
destroyed habitats, and resulted in dead animals being found along with garbage and trash.
Human health has been affected by skin and respiratory diseases caused by polluted water, while
livelihoods have suffered from declining fish populations and agricultural losses.
10. Can you describe the role of industrial activities, such as textile factories, in contributing to the
pollution of the Citarum River, and how has this affected the local ecosystem and communities like
Suratmo's?
Answer: Industrial activities, especially those of textile factories, play a significant role in the
pollution of the Citarum River. These factories discharge large amounts of wastewater and
chemicals into the river, contributing to its pollution levels. This pollution has had a devastating
effect on the local ecosystem, killing fish and other aquatic life, and adversely affecting
communities like Suratmo's, who depend on the river for their livelihoods and face health risks due
to the polluted water.
