Ha Noi joins hands to protect the environment

“Clean Up the World’s Day” will be held at Unification Park in Ha Noi this year. Unification
Park has been chosen for the event as it is one of Ha Noi’s important ‘green lungs’. After
collecting rubbish, (16) , including students, officials and members of the
local community, will be shown how to use recyclable rubbish and will participate in games to
broaden their knowledge about environmental (17) . Children will
be able to paint their ‘dream green environment’. Participants that win rubbish collection (18)
and games will receive prizes.
Individuals and (19) can show that they are responsible
for protecting the environment by planting trees, collecting, treating and
recycling rubbish, organizing community (20) ,
competitions, and exhibitions about the environment, and recovering
natural (21) . It’s time for people to be aware that this is
“Our Place. Our Planet. Our Responsibility”.
The “Clean Up the World” campaign is a(n) (22) for young members
of the Green Generation Network to positively contribute to protecting the environment.
Through these events, the (23) of the programme is to further expand

VI. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
How To Stop Water Pollution
Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today. There are
severalsources of water pollution ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact
of water pollution on wildlife and their natural habitat can be immense. There are also a number
of things that the average person can do to help stop water pollution.
We should conserve the soil because soil conservation influences
water pollution through erosion. As soil is eroded by water, it transfers
sediment from the land to the body of water, which is polluted by the
chemicals in the sediment. Phosphorus and industrial chemicals can be
pulled into water through soil erosion. When phosphorus levels in water
become too high, they can lead to algae blooms that can cause massive
fish deaths and make water unsafe for human use. The best way to prevent soil erosion is to keep
the banks of rivers well-covered with plants or trees. Planting trees can have a significantly
positive impact on the reduction in soil erosion.
The oil used to lubricate engines in all types of machines needs to be changed regularly.
When the oil is changed, it presents a number of environmental hazards if not disposed of
properly. When a leaky engine releases this oil into the street, it runs to the sewer and makes its
way into waterways.
Wherever you see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of
human use. Wrappers, bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well-used
beaches and rivers around the world. It should be fairly obvious that the trash from these places
often ends up in waterways and can cause pollution. Plastics are an especially big issue when it
comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways. Picking up litter wherever you find it is
honestly the best, fastest way to do your part to stop this type of water pollution.
Organize cleaning parties with local people to make the reach larger. Gel businesses involved
as sponsors who will donate prizes to the person who collects the most trash if you're having a
hard time finding people to sign up to help.
It is estimated that the consumption of plastic by humans is between 250 and 300 million
tons a year. About 80% of the plastic in the oceans came from the land. Using alternatives to
plastics or using "less disposable" plastics whenever possible can have a surprising impact on
ocean pollution. The fact that plastic is cheap and useful for different purposes makes it obvious
choices for many people.
