The Grasshopper Duty

I was in the airport in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. I walked into the little free shop. The
woman who worked there decided to follow me around, maybe to keep an eye on me. And my
eye fell upon two boxes of perfume on a glass shelf, and in between them was a large green
holding itself perfectly still. I said to the woman, and gold grasshopper “A grasshopper?” And
she said, “Yes, a grasshopper.” And I said, “Oh? Is he alive?” And she said, “Yes, alive.” And
then she turned and walked away as if I we’re crazy to think that there would ever be a dead
grasshopper between their perfume bottles on a glass shelf.

The Pacific Garbage Patch

Did you know that water currents in the northern Pacific Ocean capture a huge amount
of garbage? Plastic and other types of man-made waste float on the surface and circulate below
the water. It is difficult to measure how much trash is in the ocean because a lot of the trash has
broken down into tiny pieces. As a result, this polluted region is more like “trash soup” than a
solid “island of trash” that is easy to see. Some reports estimate that this area, known as the
Pacific Garbage Patch, covers 700,000 square kilometers (270,000 square miles), while others
say the area is as big as 15,000,000 square kilometers (5,800,000 square miles).
The Pacific Garbage Patch causes many environmental concerns. The small pieces of
plastic in the patch are called “microplastic”; they are hard to collect and clean up. Microplastic
that escapes the garbage patch washes up on shores. In the United States, plastic pollution from
the patch is a big problem in coastal Alaska. Also, fish and other creatures, like sea turtles and
birds, think microplastic is food. Eating microplastic can harm animals; it can choke them,
poison them, and affect their ability to reproduce. People also consume fish that have eaten
microplastic, exposing them to harmful chemicals found in some plastic products.
1. How would you describe the Pacific Garbage Patch?

2. Why do you think the author of the text about the grasshopper asked the woman about the
grasshopper?
B- In the genre: to inform (any topic), write a brief paragraph of no more than five (5)
sentences.
