Complete the task.Three people are talking about changing the world. Read the texts and answer the questions below. Each name can be used only once.
Anne:I'm really concerned about ecological issues. That's why a few years ago, I started studying what I could do for nature. You'll be surprised but a little patch of green space can improve the ecological situation a lot. If you have a bit of land that you can turn into a garden, you'll make more of an impact in your corner of the planet than you realise. Planting and harvesting your own food means that less has to be carted in from other countries, which decreases the amount of fuel that'll be shot off into the atmosphere. If instead of food you'd like a flower and herb garden, plant flowers that attract and feed pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds: they're disappearing at an alarming rate because of pesticide use. So an organic garden full of delicious blossom and seeding plants (like sunflowers, amaranth, and millet) will help exponentially. My backyard garden is now full of fruit trees, flowers, herbs and different plants such as tomatoes, cucumber pepper, potatoes, etc.
Harry:I woke up at 4 am, and all I could think was "What am I doing with my life?" I was in my early 30s and living in the corporate world, working long hours with high levels of stress. I felt burned out and depleted. I decided that I had to end this nightmare and find some meaning in life. I quit my job and started volunteering in the community. I have never thought my decision was wrong, even though I had little money to buy food. I help people and animals, it makes my life full.
George:I'm sure that kindness will save our world. A small act of kindness creates a ripple effect that can carry from person to person, brightening many lives. From giving someone a smile to holding a door open for someone, doing chores for other people, donating to charity, or buying lunch for a friend, it doesn't take a lot to make someone's day a little bit better. Personally, I try to be kind to everyone. Every day I come to work, bring coffee to my friends, compliment my colleagues, and help anyone who needs it. I think these actions make my environment more positive and I feel much better about myself.
Beatrice:One day, I saw two local police officers beat up an African-American man for stealing a bottle of water from a supermarket. He had done something wrong, but that wasn't the reason for hurting the man. When I reported the incident to the police, almost nothing was done to prevent the following cases. So I started to look into the issue more and found lots of evidence of how police officers had abused their power. Then I shared the information with everyone, highlighted it in the press and advocated for change. I used modern social media and even wrote old-fashioned letters to our government officials. Working on the issue like this has had a tremendous impact and reformed our district.
