David de Rothschild is an environmentalist who has crossed Antarctica and explored the
Ecuadorian Amazon. One day he was reading some information about all the plastic in the seas and
oceans. He couldn't believe what he was reading. For example, humans throw away four out of every
five plastic bottles they use, and plastic rubbish causes about eighty per cent of the pollution in the
sea. In addition, scientists think that around one million seabirds die every year from plastic pollution.
De Rothschild decided he wanted to help tackle pollution in the sea. To help more people
understand the problem, he started building a boat made of plastic bottles.
As well as building the boat with recycled plastic, it was important for him to make the boat
environmentally friendly and user-friendly. The boat uses renewable energy such as wind power and
solar energy. The crew can make meals with vegetables from the small garden at the back of the
boat. They can take a break from work and get some exercise by using the special exercise bicycle.
The energy from the bike provides power for the boat's computers. And if anyone needs to take a
shower, the boat's shower uses saltwater from the sea.

Team Anh Hồ Thành - chuyên luyện thi tiếng anh lớp 9 10 11 12

In some low-lying countries such as Bangladesh, The Philippines or Cambodia, it is not

unusual to have a boat school. In one area of Bangladesh, there are now over 20 such boats, which
act as both a kind of 'river bus' and also a place to study. These schools were first set up in 2002 by
a successful, local Bangladeshi architect called Mohammed Rezwan. Every year, between the
monsoon season of June and October, at least one third of Bangladesh is flooded with water. This
means that thousands of children can't attend school regularly, when they ought to. Statistics have
shown that once students' attendance falls, then many stop completely. Rezwan understood that
this mustn't happen in the first place.

Rezwan realised that if young people can't attend

school, then the school had better come to them. In
2002, he encouraged companies to sponsor him and
saved up money to set up an organization to start the
boat schools. These are now used by thousands of
school children who happily attend school every month
of the year. Each boat is powered by solar panels on the
roof. There are lights and a computer on board, which
means that teachers can access the Internet to make
lessons more interactive. Most boats are for 30 children
and some of the larger boats even have a school playground on the top deck. The students only
have to walk a short distance from their homes to the river, where the boat picks them up and then
collects the other children, before stopping at their final destination. Then lessons can start. At the
end of the day, the children are returned home on the boat.
The organization which Rezwan set up also provides solar-powered lamps to local families,
where 70% of families have no electricity. Now children and their parents don't have to stop studying

12/16
Team Anh Hồ Thành - chuyên luyện thi tiếng anh lớp 9 10 11 12

or working as soon as the sun goes down. For parents, this has meant they can earn more money. It
also means that in families where children have to work during the day, they can attend school in
the evening.
By 2050, nearly one fifth of Bangladesh will be permanently under water because of climate
change. Mr Rezwan knows he should act quickly, to help families and children out of poverty and to
give them the chance of a better life.
