they are preparing posters. A. Fill in the blanks with the words in the list. That's a great poster. Let's

put it on the wall. But Bookie disagrees. Do you think our only problem is the waste filter? There

are many other problems. We should write slogans about those problems too. What are they? Do you

see any trees on this island? No, I don't. You can't because despotters' workers cut down all the

trees. Oh, why? Because they build blocks of apartments there. That's awful. We should write a slogan and

prepare a poster about it too. B. Choose should or shouldn't. And what about the garbage problem?

There aren't any recycling bins on this island. People throw their rubbish on the streets.

There is rubbish everywhere. They don't keep the island clean.

OK. Let's prepare a poster about it too. What should people do to reduce land pollution?

Let's write it on the poster. C. What should people do to reduce land pollution? Make suggestions.

Great. Let's prepare a poster about energy sources now. Energy sources? What's wrong with energy sources?

People don't save energy on this island. So, reducing the use of electricity is very important.

For example, people don't unplug their electrical devices when they don't use them,

so they harm the environment. This is wrong. Also, they don't use solar and wind energy here.

They are alternative energy sources. D. Look at the pictures and write your suggestions about

the usage of energy. Any other problems? Well, there is too much noise on the island.

The machines in the factory are very noisy. The fun fair is very noisy. The workers in the

prepare as a poster about this. E. What type of pollution is this? Write it on the poster.

Don't forget the air pollution problem. We prepared so many posters. We don't have enough

glue for another poster. But this is important. The factory should use gas filters too. Cars

are another problem. They cause air pollution. People should use public transportation,

but we don't have many buses on the island. People drive to school. People drive to work.

People drive, drive and drive. No one thinks about global warming. They drive and increase

the carbon dioxide levels. Well, it's an island. I don't think you need more buses.

You can try walking or cycling more. You're right. Also, there isn't a road for bikes.

This is another problem. Let's write these on the poster.

F. Arda prepares another poster. But he hasn't got much glue. Some letters of the poster fall.

Complete the missing parts with the syllables in the box.

Great. Let's put all these posters on the walls.

Arda and the other seaboys hang up the posters. People of horrifica see them and they come near them.

What are these? They are posted by environmental problems.

This poster doesn't care. But we should protect our nature. We should stop water pollution,

air pollution, noise pollution and land pollution. People are all interested in the posters.

They start reading them. G. You are Arda. Read what happens.

One people and make suggestions. At that moment, Arda sees a man. He is throwing his rubbish on the

street. Example. You shouldn't throw your rubbish around. It causes environmental pollution.

Try recycling. But they can't recycle this product. It's a plastic bag. I love using plastic bags.

They are very cheap. One. You should use environmentally friendly bags.

There is a woman. She is walking to her car. Arda knows her. She works at the factory

and the factory is very close. She can walk. But she doesn't. She wants to drive.

Two. Driving a lot causes air pollution. You should walk to the factory.

Oh, I'm sorry. But I must go to the factory very fast. My manager says I didn't turn off the lights.

I also didn't turn off the tap. She is very angry. I don't understand why.

They aren't very important things.

Three. You shouldn't waste energy. You should save water and electricity.

At that moment, Arda sees another man. He kicks a street dog and he laughs. Full.

Don't harm animals. You should be nice to them.

Be quiet, little boy. I can do what I want.

Oh, wait. I know you. You are Arda, right? I'm Canine. Remember? I work at the factory too.

People say you turned the waste filter of the factory on yesterday.

I spoke to Mr. Despota. He is very angry. He is coming back to horrifica. I'm a mechanic

and I'm going to the factory now. I must turn the waste filter off again.

Later, workers can pour the factories waste into the ocean.

Why did you turn that filter on? It is expensive and it isn't necessary.

Five. Water pollution can kill sea animals. Factories should use waste filters.

Canine looks at the poster and he laughs.

And this is silly. We all know about environmental problems but Despota is our leader. We must do

everything he says. Why? He is wrong. So we must do the right thing.

Canine points at a ship on the ocean. Don't you understand? Despota is more powerful than us.

When you don't do what he says, he gets very angry. He punishes you.

Look, his ship is there. He is coming. Everyone looks scared.

People of horrifica are scared of their leader but Arda is brave.

I know the solution to this problem. What is it? Arda looks at Despota's ship.

It's democracy. Now check all your answers in this chapter.
