Read the text about marine pollution. Then answer the questions that
follow.
Mohammed and Mark were exercising on the beach. While they
were running, they saw algae and dead fish in the water. As they
were talking about this, a man came along and took some
photographs. Mark was interested and said, ‘Why are you taking
pictures? Are you a journalist?’ The man said that he wasn’t a
journalist, but a teacher of moral education. He said his name was
Ziad and that he was taking the pictures to show his class the next
day. Ziad explained that he was teaching his class about the
environment. He wanted his students to be aware of
environmental issues and be prepared to take responsibility for
protecting the natural world.
