Cleaning ocean of plastic (PIII)
江苏省南菁高级中学 顾梅燕
Lead in
How much do you know about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? 
While reading
Present situation
Scan the passage and find out some basic information about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
1. Location: It is located off the coast of California, US. 
2. Components: It is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste. 
3. Size: At 1.6 million square kilometers, it’s over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing.
Writing tip 1: Present the fact more clearly and convincingly by offering detailed statistics (数据).
How would you feel if you saw the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with your own eyes? 
But although we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, it’s different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself. (L5)
Writing tip II: Use adversative conjunctions as well as high-level words to strengthen the tone.
“I’ve been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see the patch in person,” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told the Guardian. (L13-L14)

“There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. There’s clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.”(L15-L16)
Writing tip III: Further prove your point by quoting other people.
Read the passage carefully and find out all the negative points about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Para 10:
This causes problems not only for sea creatures but also for humans.
Para 11- Para 12:
1. Currents break down the plastic, which can be eaten by fish and birds finally.
2. Countless creatures choke on plastic waste or are poisoned by the chemicals in it.
3. The plastic has a direct influence on the food chain of humans.
Transitional sentence/
Topic sentence  + Supporting details
Writing tip IV: Analyze the reasons, influences or measures by using a topic sentence plus some supporting details.
Are there any other negative points about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
What are the measures mentioned in the passage to deal with the plastic waste problem?
Topic sentence:  So what can we do about this? (P13)
Supporting details:
1. develop technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean (P14-15)
2. be more mindful of how we use plastic rather than discourage people from using it altogether (P16-17)
Writing tip V: Offer effective measures or suggestions echoing the reasons or influences mentioned above.
Further thinking
In your opinion, what else can be done to help rid the ocean of plastic?
Recommended measures:
I believe it’s the government’s responsibility to approach this issue and take immediate action to strengthen the supervision of it. Some non-profit environmental protection organizations should also donate money or raise funds to help clean the Pacific Ocean. As for experts and scientists, it’s important that they put their efforts into researching a creative and effective clean-up process and come up with effective ways and solutions to fix the problem. As far as individuals are concerned, we should raise our awareness of protecting the planet and hold the firm belief that protecting Earth means saving ourselves. Hopefully, this problem will be settled in the near future, following our combined efforts.
Writing Tip VI: Give suggestions on some social issues from different angles.  
What attitude should we have towards the pollution around us?
Actions speak louder than words.
