Miss Liu: OK, now we are going to do a little quiz about the sea. Let’s start with the first question. Why are sea levels on our planet rising?
Wu Di: I know! The sea is getting warmer because of global warming. A lot of the ice in the North and South Poles is disappearing. That makes the sea levels rise.
Miss Liu: That’s right, Wu Di. Now question number two. Many kinds of fish are dying out. Why is this?

Li Na: Is it because people catch too many fish?
Miss Liu: That’s correct. There is another reason too. Can anyone guess?
Su Mei: Is it the plastic pollution? I read that a huge amount of plastic rubbish ends up in the sea each year. Fish and other sea animals eat it and get ill. Sea animals also get caught in the plastic and die.
Miss Liu: You’re right, Su Mei. We need to do something about this. Now, the next question ... (fade out)
