PART B: READING.
I. Read the passage, and do the tasks that follow.
There are many causes that lead to water pollution. One main cause of this issue is waste water coming
from many factories and then being directly pulled out into water bodies, especially into rivers or seas
without any treatment because this is the most convenient way of disposing waste water. Industrial
waste consists of some kind of chemical substance such as sulphur, which is harmful to marine life. Lead
is known as the main reason for cancer disease. Cancer has become a popular disease in several
communes which are called “cancer villages”. Another cause is the awareness of citizens, people always
use water for many purposes and then they dump waste water or garbage directly into rivers, canals, and
ponds and so on. In 2004, because of bird flu outbreak in Viet Nam, people threw poultry to water body
that made water highly polluted.
Task 1. Read the passages again, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. Waste water from many factories which is dumped into water bodies directly causes water pollution.

2. Dumping waste directly into water is the most convenient way of disposing waste water.
3. Sulphur is believed the main reason for cancer.

II. Read the passage and answer the questions below.
Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died
in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and
factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem; smog from cars. In December 1991, there
was very little wind in London and pollution increased. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in
just four days.
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops
near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. The small shops
have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle lanes,
so people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce pollution and costs.
