Suratmo is a fisherman living on the banks of the Citarum river
in Indonesia. But he doesn't catch fish any more he fishes for
(1) rubbish: glass bottles, cans and broken toys because the Citarum
has become one of the world's most (2)
rivers. So
Suratmo can no longer be called a fisherman, rather a garbage
collector. Every day 20,000 tons of waste from 2,000 textile
is dumped into the river. They also (4)

Объяснение:
Dear editor!
I am writing to express my outrage at the motorway construction on the area of our wonderful park.
When our parents were disciples, they planted these trees and cared about them. In this park young mothers walk with their little children, older people have a rest in shade of trees, teenagers skate and ride bikes.
We must prevent the destruction of this beautiful and useful place. There are a lot of other places where our local council can build anything he wants.
I speak through your newspaper to all residents of our city: let's protect our park.
I ask you, dear editor, to open the discussion on this issue on the pages of your newspaper and we will see what the inhabitants of the city think about the decision of the mayor.
Yours sincerely,
Igor Kowalsky
Уважаемый редактор!
Я пишу, чтобы выразить мое возмущение по поводу строительства автомагистрали на территории прекрасного парка.
Когда наши родители были учениками, они посадили эти деревья и заботятся о них. В этом парке молодые мамы прогуливаются с маленькими детьми, пожилые люди отдыхают в тени деревьев, подростки катаются на коньках и на велосипедах.
Мы должны предотвратить уничтожение этого красивого и полезного места. Есть много других мест, где наша местная администрация может построить все, что захочет.
Я обращаюсь через вашу газету ко всем жителям нашего города: давайте защищать наш парк.
Я Вас, уважаемый редактор, открыть дискуссию по этому вопросу на страницах вашей газеты, и мы увидим, что жители города думают о решении мэра.
С уважением,
Игорь Ковальский
