Read the text “Water” and do the multiple choice items below.

Nature has a great water system. Rain water finds its way to streams (=ручьи) and rivers. Rivers lead to the ocean. At the mouths of the rivers, fresh water joins the salt water of the ocean. Here at the mouth of a river there is much important plant (=растение, растительный) and animal life. Pollution (загрязнение) destroys this life, however. We have to clean our streams and rivers. Man has to work with nature – not against it.
