1.Read and say: true, false or not stated.
Litter is garbage – like food, paper and
cans – on the ground or in the street. Where many people live together, litter
is a problem. People don’t always put their garbage in the bins. It’s easier to
drop a paper than to find a bin for it. But litter is ugly. It makes the city
look dirty, and it spoils the view.
The wind blows papers far away. Often they
are difficult to catch. When they blow against a fence, they stay there. This
fence is a wall of garbage.
Litter is a health problem, too. Food
and garbage attract animals, which sometimes carry disease.
Some people want to control litter. They
never throw litter themselves, and sometimes they work together in groups to
clean up the city. In most places litter is against the law. The law punishes
people who throw garbage in the streets. They usually pay a fine, and
occasionally they go to jail.
