Mallard Lake’s Big Problem
Our town has an environmental problem. We have lots of water pollution in Mallard Lake. The lake has a lot of trash such as plastic bags and bottles. In the past, there were a lot of fish in the lake. Now, there aren’t many fish in the lake.
We should get a group of people together and organize a lake clean-up. We can use boats to help us move around on the lake. We can use special tools to pick up trash from the water. This will help to reduce water pollution in Mallard Lake.
We should also put more trash cans around Mallard Lake. This will give people more places to put their trash, and they will stop throwing trash in the lake. This will reduce our water pollution problem.
We should send people to schools to teach children about Mallard Lake. They should also tell children why we should take care of the fish and other wildlife in the lake. This will get more people to think about taking care of the environment in our town.

Planet Earth has many problems. Different kinds of pollution are harming the planet. The world’s population is continuing to grow each year. Many people believe that in the future, we will have to find a new place to live.
Space stations are one place where people could live. People can build parts of a space station on Earth and then put them together in space. It will be easier for people to live on space stations than different planets. One bad thing is there won’t be any gravity, and people won’t be able to move much.
Some scientists think Mars is the best option. People won’t be able to go outside on Mars, but we can build new cities there. We need to build better spaceships because they cost too much money now.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (from 31 to 35).
TEENAGERS AND PHONES
In a recent survey in my town, many teenagers said that they spent about six to nine hours a day on their phones. This is a big problem because they won’t have enough time for other activities. They play games online instead of going outside or meeting their friends. Many teenagers go to bed very late because they like to use their phones at night. This is bad for their health because they won’t get enough sleep. Teenagers need at least eight hours of sleep every night. They get tired, and it might affect how they do at school.
I have some ideas about how to help teenagers with this problem. I think that schools should create lots of after-school activities so that teenagers can have fun with their friends. Parents shouldn’t let young children use phones. They can also set a rule at home about not using phones during meal times and other family activities. I believe that the help of schools and parents, teenagers will be able to reduce their time on phones.

A. the effects of spending too much time on phones and how schools can help
