answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 28 to 32.
Michael Jackson, often referred to as the "King of Pop," was one of the most
iconic and influential musicians of the 20th century. Born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana,
Jackson began his musical career at a young age as part of the Jackson 5, a family
band formed with his brothers. His exceptional talent as a singer and dancer was
evident from the start, and he quickly became the group's lead vocalist, captivating
audiences with his powerful voice and charismatic performances.
In the 1980s, Jackson's solo career skyrocketed, transforming him into a
global superstar. His 1982 album "Thriller" became the best-selling album of all
time, featuring hit singles like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It." Jackson's innovative music
videos, particularly the groundbreaking "Thriller" video, revolutionized the medium
and helped establish MTV as a cultural phenomenon. His unique dance moves,
including the famous "moonwalk," became instantly recognizable and widely
imitated around the world.
Jackson's influence extended far beyond music, shaping popular culture in
numerous ways. He broke down racial barriers in the entertainment industry,
becoming one of the first African American artists to achieve global superstardom.
His distinctive fashion sense, characterized by his sequined glove, fedora hat, and
military-style jackets, inspired countless imitators and fashion trends. Moreover,
Jackson's philanthropic efforts, including his support for various charities and his
song "We Are the World," demonstrated his commitment to using his fame for
positive change.
Despite his immense success, Jackson's later years were marked by controversy and
personal struggles. Allegations of child abuse, though he was acquitted in a 2005 trial,
tarnished his reputation. His changing appearance due to multiple plastic surgeries
and skin condition also became a subject of public scrutiny. Tragically, Jackson passed
away in 2009 at the age of 50, leaving behind a complex legacy. While controversies
continue to surround his personal life, his impact on music, dance, and popular
culture remains undeniable, inspiring new generations of artists and fans alike.

The trouble is, when we throw out plastic with the trash, the plastic doesn’t
go away. Plastic does not biodegrade phân huỷ sinh học. It degrades into
smaller and smaller particles which then enter the food chain. Plastics
contain cancer-causing chemicals such as vinyl chloride which travel along the food
chain in increasing concentrations and end up in our fish and chips, along with
hormone disruptors such as bisphenol A. Scientists try to tell us that we are killing
ourselves as well as other animals. At least 200 species are being killed by plastic.

plastic bags which take from 400 to 1000 years to degrade. Less than one per cent
of plastic bags are recycled and only 4% of all other plastic waste, the reason being
it is simply too expensive to do.
It we can’t use plastic bags, how do we carry home the shopping? Take a
back pack or a folding shopping trolley. Change supermarket to one that provides
biodegradable bags, made from potato starch for example. Use consumer power.
