I went to Australia on a student program last year and I'd like to you about it. I was very when I knew I was going to Australia because I had never been there before. I didn't think about the problems of speaking English I met my host family. At first, I couldn't communicate with them because my English was so bad. All the five years I had been learning, English wasn't much used at all we didn't have real practice at school. Even though my grammar was good, my pronunciation wasn't. My problem is "l" and "r". For example, Australian people often asked "What do you eat in Vietnam?", I wanted to tell them that we ate rice, but they didn't understand when I said, "We eat lice"...
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Sydney is Australia's most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1624 passengers from Britain (including 770 prisoners). Today there are about 3.6 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, the busiest port in the South Pacific and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In Sydney, the buildings are higher, the colors are brighter and the nightlife is more exciting. There are over 20 excellent beaches close to Sydney and its warm climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are two things that make Sydney famous: its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which was built in 1932 and the Sydney Opera House, which was opened in 1973.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution, and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
According to the writer, one environmental problem in the world today is _____.
What is the serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?
What does the word "them" in the passage refer to?
How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly?
What is the message to the readers?
