Key word: INVASIVE SPECIES

READING

1 Read the article. Choose the best option A, B, C, or D.
Invasive species are the foreign plants or animals which come into
a place and badly affect it. Invasive species can harm local living
things and people's health.
In the 1970s, fish farmers brought silver carp into the United
States with the hope to improve water quality in fish ponds. Many
carp then escaped into the Mississippi River. They have gradually
taken over the resources of paddlefish in the river. Their
population have grown so rapidly that paddlefish don't have
enough food and are dying out.

READING

1 Read the article. Choose the best option A, B, C, or D.
Water hyacinth, which is native to South America, came to Africa in
the 1980s. At first, people planted it for its beautiful purple
flowers. Since then, the plant has spread very quickly and covered
Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa. Water hyacinth blocks the
flow of lake water and creates homes for mosquitoes and insects.
Since invasive species cause many types of problems, there should
be stricter laws to stop people from taking plants and animals to a
new place.

Dear Peter,
It's nice to hear from you again. I've read an article about Save the Oceans. Let
me tell you about it.
The ocean habitats are very important because they produce half of the earth's
oxygen and create homes for plants and animals. However, there is serious
habitat loss due to overfishing and pollution. Save the Oceans is helping oceans
in many ways. It promotes smart fishing. It also encourages people to use fewer
plastic bags. Besides, it organises campaigns to clean up beaches and seas.
I admire the actions of Save the Oceans. Hope that I can join them in the future.
Do you know other organizations which help the oceans?
Write to me soon.
