2. Read this text that tells about the life of Suratmo who lived by the Citarum river banks. Then, answer some questions related to the story.

LIVING BY THE CITARUM RIVER BANKS

Pak Suratmo lives on the banks of the Citarum River. He started ishing in the Citarum river when he was a teenager and chose to be a isherman once he grew up. After being a sand miner, being a isherman was the second main job for people living in this area. It was a good decision as everything was ine till seventeen years ago and started getting worst from ive years ago.

Starting from that time, Pak Suratmo did not catch much ish as he used to. Less and less ish, he caught. Even, he often came home empty-handed. As a breadwinner, he had to think a lot about his life. He said that he could no longer be called a isherman. Instead, he should be called a scavenger because he collected and sold plastic waste to make a living. He collected the garbage from the same river he went ishing - the Citarum river.
