Tape transcript: Our oceans are becoming extremely polluted. Most of this pollution comes from the land, which means it comes from people. Firstly, There is rawsewage, which is pumped directly into the sea. Many countries, both developed and developing, are guilty of doing this. Secondly, ships drop about 6 million tons of garbage into the sea each year. Thirdly, there are oil spills from ships. A ship has an accident and oil leaks from the vessel. This not only pollutes the water but also kills marine life. Next, there are waste materials from factories. Without proper regulations, factories owners let the waste run directly into the rivers, which then leads to the sea. And finally, oil is washed from the land. This can be the result of carelessness or a deliberate dumping of waste. (guilty: điều sai trái, khiển trách,phạm tội, - delibrate: cố ý, thận trọng,thảo luận kỹ) 6.
