You can help protect the environment through wise shopping. Firstly, buy sustainable products. Plastic is one of the most significant contributors to soil and water pollution, endangering both the land and water life. Fish and animals often eat plastic because they mistake it as food. So, when you’re buying school supplies like folders and pens, or buying toys and home accessories, try to look for more eco-friendly alternatives. For example, buy a reusable bottle for water instead of bottled water. It’s not only cheaper but also much better for the environment. Secondly, only buy what you need. Think about your purchasing habits. Do you buy too many products? Can you do without some of the things that you often buy? Are you a responsible consumer? Simply buying more because of tempting offers or discounts will actually cost us and the environment more. By buying only what you need, you reduce the
amount of waste, and thus pollution. As natural resources are limited, our big consumption can contribute to exhausting them. 1.

What does ‘eco-friendly’ mean? __________________________________________________________________________ ______ VIII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D. Pollution comes in different forms. Some of them are water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, and noise pollution. It’s a universal problem. This problem can only be solved when everybody makes an effort to do it. There are various things we can do to make our environment better. The simplest thing is to put rubbish into dustbins instead of littering the streets. We can reduce our daily waste too, and reduce the amount of water and electricity we use. We should think of ways to reuse objects like bottles, cans, and paper. A plastic bottle will take more than 500 years to decompose. So instead of throwing it away after you finish your drink, you can keep it in the kitchen for containing water, or in the garden for growing flowers. With some colourful paper and oil paint, you can also make beautiful toys from them. We can also collect recyclable objects and donate them for recycling. Each one of us should act environmentally friendly so that others will follow us. Public places like parks, schools, train stations, ... will get cleaner if we start acting now. 1. Pollution comes in ________ forms. A. just one B. various C. only four D. similar 2. To help make our planet Earth a better place, we need ________ effort. A. individual’s B. enormous C. the government’s D. collective 3. Plastic bottles and cans take ________ to go. A. tens of years B. a few years C. hundreds of years D. a century 4. When people act environmentally friendly, others will ________ them. A. protect B. follow C. praise D. look at 5. This passage is concerned with ________.
