Reading: “Roots and Shoots” a) Read the interview with Kyle, who is working on a “Roots and Shoots” school project in Long Island, New York. Write the four correct questions in the spaces. A: 1. How do you like working on this project? B: Well, for years I have loved Jane Goodall for her work. And, of course, the beach has always been my favourite place. So I was very excited when our teacher told us we could do a “Roots and Shoots” project on keeping the beach clean. So far it’s been the best school project I’ve ever worked on! A: 2. B: Our class has chosen this project because in the last years we’ve noticed that there is so much rubbish on the beach. Things like plastic bags and balloons are not pretty to look at. But what’s even worse is that they are very dangerous for the fish. A: 3. B: Well, we’ve decided that we want to be active. Of course, we often do online research, but it is important to us that we actually go out there and do something for nature. So we’ve used the money from the “Roots and Shoots” organisation to buy tools for cleaning our beaches. During each beach clean-up we count and write down what kind of rubbish people have left behind. A: 4. B: We’ve done two clean-ups since the beginning of our project. And we’ve found a lot! We’ve collected 2866 pieces of rubbish, with about 2000 pieces of plastic. But what we have done so far has only been the beginning. We really want to make a difference! A: Thanks, Kyle!
