Упр.3 Модуль 5 Going Green ГДЗ Spotlight 10 класс

Answer the questions, then explain the words in bold. Then, tell your partner three things you remember from the text.

1. What is marine litter?
2. In which two ways does marine litter harm wildlife? Why?
3. How can litter harm people?
4. List three ways we can help solve the problem.

1. Marine litter is rubbish that ends up in the sea or on beaches.
2. It harms wildlife in two ways: animals can eat the litter and get trapped in it. This is dangerous because it can injure or kill them.
3. Litter can harm people by polluting the water and beaches, and by getting into the food chain through seafood.
4. We can help by reducing, reusing and recycling, not throwing rubbish away carelessly, and joining beach clean-ups.

Words in bold:

• marine litter — rubbish in the sea
• eat — take food into the body through the mouth
• get trapped — be caught and unable to move
• polluting — making something dirty or harmful
• food chain — the way food passes from one living thing to another

Three things I remember from the text: marine litter is a serious problem; it is dangerous for animals and people; we can help by recycling and cleaning up beaches.
