<h1>TASK 1</h1><p>The question asks to fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words</p><p>The growing amount of waste produced in modern society has a huge impact on the environment. Many of the materials (1) <strong>disposed</strong> of in the general waste bin can last in the environment anywhere from hundreds to thousands of years. The (2) <strong>accumulation</strong> of this waste in the natural environment can cause significant (3) <strong>harm</strong> on plants and animals Waste from households is taken by officers who are then collected in a landfill. If the landfill site is not properly sealed, a toxic pollutant known as "leachate" can escape into the surrounding (4) <strong>waterways</strong>, causing environmental problems for plants and animals living downstream. Leachate is a (5) <strong>liquid</strong> pollutant caused by waste breaking down that contains high levels of heavy metals, chemical compounds, (6) <strong>bacteria</strong> and solvents which filter down into the bottom of a landfill site. Many modern landfills created today have a sealed (7) <strong>liner</strong> to prevent liquid pollution from entering groundwater, however the growing level of waste generation can increase the risk of leachate pollution Land is a precious commodity and by reducing the amount of waste we produce, reusing items more than once and (8) <strong>recycling</strong> items correctly we can avoid the creation of more landfill sites and help maintain our unique environment. By recycling and removing all food and garden waste from our red-lidded general (9) <strong>bins</strong>, landfill sites can be maintained for longer, helping to reduce biodiversity loss, save valuable space and reduce the amount of (10) <strong>toxins</strong> in our ecosystems.</p><h1>TASK 2</h1><p>The text discusses the environmental impact of waste and the importance of reducing waste generation</p><p>The text states that waste can last in the environment for hundreds to thousands of years, and its presence can cause significant harm to plants and animals</p><p>Leachate is a toxic pollutant that forms when waste breaks down.
