World Oceans Day · Worksheet 1
Read the story. 英文を読もう。
1Take a deep breath. At least half of the oxygen in that breath came from the ocean. Very small plants and other tiny living things in the sea make it. We cannot see them, but we need them every day.
2The ocean covers more than 70 percent of our planet. It holds about 97 percent of all the water on Earth. It also gives food to more than one billion people. But the ocean is in trouble. There are fewer big fish, and many coral reefs are dying. Plastic trash floats on the water and hurts sea animals.
3In 1992, world leaders met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There, Canada asked for a special day for the ocean. Many groups started to celebrate on June 8. In 2008, the United Nations made it official, and the first UN World Oceans Day was in 2009. The first theme was Our Oceans, Our Responsibility.
4Today, people around the world clean beaches on this day. Aquariums hold events for families. Students learn that the deepest part of the sea is almost 11,000 meters deep. Japan has its own Marine Day in July, and it is a national holiday. Japan may be the only country with a holiday like this. So on June 8 and in July, think about the sea. It gives us every second breath.
