Well to pick up where we left off last time I believe all of you know now how plastics developed But a piece of sad news every year about 8 million metric tons of plastic is thrown into our oceans That＇s as much as a truckload of plastic waste every minute As you may know plastic waste chokes and hooks turtles and seabirds Worse still plastic pieces are often mistaken for food by marine (海洋)animals Tiny pieces of plastic are even blocking the stomachs of marine creatures and fish

This is why it is important to stop using plastic items that we use for about 15 minutes before we dispose of it Hopefully we can help put an end to plastic pollution by choosing not to use single use plastic items such as plastic bags and straws And this July people around the world will take a pledge(请愿)to live a plastic free life You can either give up the top four ——straws bottles bags and coffee cups or you can refuse as much single use plastic as you can every day Another way to help reduce the problem is to take part in beach cleanups On the first Saturday of every month Clean C an initiative that gets volunteers to clean up our beaches hosts beach cleanups on beaches across Cape Town You can find details of upcoming events on their website

Throughout history humans have played some kind of kicking game What the world now calls football or soccer in the US began as far back as 2500 B C with the Chinese game of tsu chu The sport we know today originated in Britain By the 1840s England＇s Football Association established a set of rules and the modern game was born Today more than 120 million players all over the globe participate in the game truly making soccer the world＇s sport
So why is soccer so popular Maybe it＇s the game＇s camaraderie the feeling that the team on the field is your team their win is your victory and their loss is your defeat Or maybe it＇s the game＇s international quality In countries like France England Spain and Brazil major teams have players from many different nations and these clubs now have fans all over the world Or perhaps it＇s the promise of great wealth A number of professional soccer players including Cameroon＇s Samuel Eto＇o and Portugal＇s Cristiano Ronaldo come from poor families Today both of these players make millions of euros every year

But joining a professional team and making a lot of money isn＇t the main reason that soccer is so popular all over Africa say Abubakari AbdulGaniyu a teacher who works with youth clubs in Tamale Ghana Soccer is the passion of everyone here he says It unifies us In fact more than once the game has helped to bring people together In Ivory Coast for example immigrants and Muslims faced discrimination for years Yet many of the country＇s best soccer players are from Muslim and immigrant families As a result the national team has become a symbol of unity and has helped to promote peace throughout the world
