What a load of rubbish!!
It's difficult to believe that years of people working hard to fight pollution and take action the environment, we still have a long way to go before we succeed.
Oceanographers have discovered a huge ‘plastic soup’ made from rubbish floating in the Pacific Ocean. This island of rubbish has been growing slowly for 60 years and is now so big it goes from California to Hawaii and nearly to Japan. It everything you could imagine, plastic bags to children's toys and even plastic swimming pools!
The ‘Great Garbage Patch’ as it's sometimes called, causes lots of problems. One of these is the chemicals it produces in the sea. These chemicals and small pieces of plastic are now appearing in fish, and obviously, this means the plastic-filled fish could get our dinner plates!
It’s not all bad news . At the moment, a conversation group is investigating the 100 million tons of waste can be turned fuel and used in a positive way.
Let’s hope they take action behind the ‘plastic soup’ now before it any bigger!

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres or almost five million square kilometers. The second-largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeast Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One-fifth of the world’s freshwater is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one-half of the world’s species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick is made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
