SKILLS

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.

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.

Answer:

Dear [Friend],

It's nice to hear from you again. I've heard an article about an organization called Save the Oceans, and I thought you might be interested to know more about it. Save the Oceans is dedicated to protecting ocean habitats. They recognize the importance of the marine environment to human life when ocean habitats produce half of the earth's oxygen, regulate the climate, provide homes for countless plants and animals, and provide food for people. However, these habitats are currently facing threats due to overfishing and pollution. Save the Oceans works tirelessly to combat these issues by promoting smart fishing practices, encouraging people to use fewer plastic bags to reduce pollution, and organizing campaigns to clean up beaches and the sea. It's heartening to see efforts being made to safeguard our oceans for future generations. I hope that in the future this organization will be known more and more so that we can join hands to protect this marine environment. I think you have the same wish as me, right?

Write to me soon.

Cheers.
