►    Over the last twenty years, the beach at Cregness has become one of the least

I attractive beaches in the country. What was once a beautiful sandy beach has now turned into a dirty seashore covered in litter, oil and factory waste. Fortunately, it is not too late to clean up this mess.

►    The government could help by passing laws to stop the factories from dumping their waste in the sea. This would help to make it a safe place where people could swim without the threat of illness.

The government could also make the companies responsible for oil spills pay money to help clean up the beach. If they did this, the beach at Cregness would look much better than it does today.

►    The people of Cregness can help too, by starting a volunteer project to elear up all the litter that people have dropped on the beach. Similar projects have been extremely successful in many other parts of the country.

All in all, if the suggestions in this article became reality, the beach at Cregness would, once morę, be something to be proud of.

b) Read the article again and match the paragraphs to the headings.
