Answer
Объяснение:
19 Jane was upset after she finished the regional swimming competition. She had practised every day for several months, but despite all her hard work, she finished in second place.
20 She tried not to be too disappointed about it, but at her swimming practice the other day she had swum her fastest time ever which had made her really hopeful of winning the competition this time.
21 Her father tried to make her feel better. “There are plenty of other swimming competitions to win. Just keep practising and one day you will get the gold!” he told her, making her laugh by stretching his arms up in the air so vigorously that he fell off his chair.
Where ships go to die
22 We might not think about it much, but most of us owe a lot to the shipping industry. Almost anyone who had bought a car, clothes or furniture recently has benefitted from the industry, because it is the cheapest way to transport goods.
23 No matter where a ship has sailed during its life, most ships are sent to South Asia when they are no longer usable. India, Bangladesh and Pakistan alone take up to 70% of worn-out ships.
24 The ships rest along the shoreline, where workers climb on them and take them apart piece by piece. In 2012, observers recorded that 365 ships were lying on beaches in this region.
25 The work is quite dangerous, and occasionally, workers lose their lives. More must be done to make this work safe.
