Read the dialogue of two friends

Michael: Maya, how about going to McDonald’s after school?

Maya: Sorry, maybe next time. I’m trying to save some money.

Michael: What for?

Maya: I want to adopt an animal.

Michael: So why do you need money for that? There are so many stray dogs and cats.

Maya: Yeah, but I want to adopt a snow leopard.

Michael: What?! I don’t understand you.

Maya: Ha-ha, don’t be afraid. It will live in its usual environment. I guess you have heard

of such an organization as “ The World Wide Fund for Nature”.

Michael: No, I haven’t. What do they do?

Maya: This organization has a lot of programmes which work all over the world and

improve our ecology. For example, there are some animals that are in danger and may

disappear, so you can choose any animal which you like and give some money for it. The

organization will use your money to protect the animal.

Michael: I believe they do a great job! Can you show me the website?

Maya: I totally agree with you. Look.

Michael: Oh, the list of endangered species is so big. I also want to adopt an animal.

Maya: Great! Which animal will you choose?

Michael: I like the orangutan. Why do they disappear?

Maya: As far as I know, they live in rainforests which people destroy.

Michael: That’s so sad, I want to save all of them! Look at this beautiful turtle. Why is it in

danger?

Maya: There are a lot of reasons. One of them is climate change. In my view, if people want

to stop it, we should stop polluting our air and oceans.

Michael: I’m so glad that you showed me this website and now I can do something for our

Earth. I think, I will adopt both of them.

Maya: Well done! There are many other ways to protect our planet that we can do every

day. If you want, I will tell you.

Michael: Why don’t we speak about it during the next break?

Maya: Sure! See you.

What are they discussing?

Why doesn’t Maya want to go to McDonald’s?

Read the text. Why is plastic pollution a serious problem?

Over the last twenty years we have produced more plastic than during the last century.

Why? It’s cheap and easy to produce. Most of the plastic we use only once and then throw

away. But it doesn’t disappear. It covers the Earth and goes into the oceans. It can also

become microplastic. Have you heard about it? It’s so small that we don’t even see it. But

it’s around us: in the water we drink, in the food we eat or in the cosmetics we use.

The “Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch” is an area with waste plastic in the Pacific Ocean.

Scientists are not sure how big it is. They say it can be 700 000 km² or more than 15 mln

km². Most of this plastic comes from plastic bags, plastic water bottles and cups. The sun

breaks this plastic into smaller and smaller pieces. Millions of marine animals die when

they eat this plastic. It is not easy to clean it. Scientists say the best answer is to stop

throwing away plastic.

It can become microplastic. We eat it and drink it. It goes into the oceans. Marine animals

die when they eat plastic.
