1. Complete the text with the active or passive form of the verb in brackets, in the present or past simple.

A MULTIBILLION-DOLAR INDUSTRY

Bottled water is a multibillion-dollar industry. Fifty billion litres are consumed globally every year. But when bottled
water was first brought onto the market, nobody wanted to buy it. However, that changed in the late 1980s when water
was sold in PET bottles. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a kind of strong, light and safe plastic. It is made from
petroleum, and it is now used for the packing of many different products, from soap to ready meals. Around this time,
we were also told by the World Health Organization that we needed to drink about 2 litres of water a day. This was
great news for the bottled water industry and, between 1990 and 2000, the sales of bottled water doubled.

2. Complete the sentences with a verb from the box in the -ing form.
 I enjoy drinking bottled water because it tastes purer than tap water.
 I worry about getting ill from tap water.
 Paying money for something you can get for free is crazy.
 I avoid buying bottled water because the bottles cause pollution.
 When I´m really thirsty, I don´t think about protecting the environment.
 Spending money on bottled water is wrong when many people don´t have clean water.

3. Underline the word which is different from the others.

 Bitter sour thick mild
 Boiled baked canned fried
 Olives cake honey chocolate
 Stew carrot onion chicken
 Jar carton packet plastic

 A) There are two biscuits left, one for you and one for me.
B) The car park´s on the left of the station.
 A) It´s a long way to the nearest shop.
B) Running is a good way to get fit.
 A) The film´s very funny. It´ll make you laugh.
B) This chicken smells funny. We should throw it away.
