COMPLETE THE SENTENCES USING THE CORRECT TENSE The beach is a special place for Ben and Clara. They 1- live (live) in a small coastal town, so they often walk along the shore. Ben always 2- looks (look) for interesting shells, while Clara is building beautiful sandcastles. But lately, their favorite beach is changing.A few months ago, the beach 3- was (be) a paradise. The sand was golden, and the water was crystal clear. 4- However, (use a linker) things are different now. There are plastic bottles, bags, and pieces of fishing nets everywhere. Today, Ben 5- is looking (look) at a piece of plastic instead of a shell, and Clara is trying to build a sandcastle, but she 6- can't find (not find) any clean sand. 7- Although (use a linker) they are sad, they know they must do something to help their beach."We can't just ignore this," Clara says, holding up a plastic bottle. "This plastic 8- is being carried (carry) by the ocean currents from all over the world. We 9- should organize (organize) a cleanup!"Ben thinks about her idea. "That's a great plan! We will tell all our friends at school about it tomorrow."The Big Cleanup DayThe following Saturday, a large group of students gathered on the beach. It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining brightly and a warm breeze blowing. Everyone was wearing old clothes and gloves, and they 10- were carrying (carry) big garbage bags. The cleanup was officially starting.They 11- began (begin) to work. The sand 12- was covered (cover) in tiny plastic pieces, and it was difficult to see all of them. They had been working for two hours 13- when (use a linker) they found an old, tangled fishing net. This net had been floating in the water for many months. It was made of tough nylon, and it was filled with all kinds of rubbish."This net is a huge problem," Ben says. "If we 14- don't remove (remove) it, more marine animals will get trapped."15- While (use a linker) they were pulling on the heavy net, they saw something moving inside. It was a small sea turtle, which was struggling to get free. The turtle had been caught in the net for a long time, and it 16- couldn't swim(swim). Ben and Clara carefully cut the ropes and slowly 17- helped (help) the turtle escape.18- After (use a linker) a few moments, the turtle, which was finally free, swam away and disappeared into the blue ocean.The Lasting ImpactThat day was a turning point for Ben and Clara. They learned that if people throw their rubbish away, it 19- will end (end) up in the ocean, so it is important to dispose of waste correctly. Although they collected many bags of trash, they know the problem is much bigger. The beach was clean for now, but the trash was coming back.Ben and Clara 20- are going to start (start) a new environmental club at school. They will teach their classmates about recycling and the importance of protecting the ocean. They know that if they are successful, they will inspire many more people to help.The story of the turtle is being told to everyone now. The students believe that 21- if (use a linker) everyone makes small changes in their daily lives, a bigger difference can be made. They 22- are (be) optimistic about the future. They know that 23- if (use a linker) we work together, our beautiful planet 24- can be (be) 25-saved (save).
