 There are many causes that lead to water pollution. One main cause of this issue 
is waste water coming from many factories and then being directly pulled out into 
water bodies, especially into rivers or seas without any treatment because this is the 
most convenient way of disposing waste water. Industrial waste consists of some kind 
of chemical substance such as sulphur, which is harmful for marine life. Lead is known 
 as the main reason for cancer disease. Cancer has become a popular disease in several 
communes which is called “cancer villages. Another cause is the awareness of citizens, 
people always use water for many purposes and then they dump waste water or 
garbage directly into rivers, canal, and ponds and so on. In 2004, because of bird fly 
outbreak in Vietnam, people threw poultry to water body that made water highly 
polluted.

Space Pollution 
 The launch of Sputnik I and Yuri Gagarin, the first human being in space, marked 
the beginning of space exploration and the beginning of a new and unfamiliar type of 
pollution. 
 Satellites, solar panels, rocket bodies and fragments from space shuttles that are 
floating in space and are no longer functional are considered space debris. This 
pollution of man-made objects in space affects us here on Earth as well and will 
continue to affect us in future travel. In 1978, the Soviet Union Kosmos 954, which 
contained a nuclear power source, reentered over Canada and left debris over an area 
the size of Austria. In 1969, five Japanese sailors were injured by pieces of space debris 
that hit their ship. The largest piece, weighing one thousand pounds, landed in 
Australia in 1979. 
 Many solutions are being considered by scientists and engineers. However, the 
challenge to finding a solution lies within all of the nations which take part in the space 
exploration. 
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer 
in each blank. 
Answer A B 
______ 1. shuttle A. broken pieces of something larger 
______ 2. functional B. made by people 
______ 3. debris C. a vehicle in which people travel into space and pack 
again 
______ 4. man-made D. a way of finding an answer to a problem 
______ 5. solution E. working; being used
