WHAT CAN YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE ?THERE IS A FOREST FIRE.

What is he doing?He is hunting a rare animal.

What does this picture say about?
The flood damaged the bridge.


Task 1: Find the position of these words and
guess their meanings.
eliminate circulation run-off hydroelectric

A.The loss of forest in destroying the earth’s plant and animals
variety.Scientists say about 5,000 species of plants and anima are
eliminated each year .This is especially worrying as many of those
plants and animals could be used as medicines against cancer
,AIDS,heart disease and many other sicknesses .We may never
know the true cost of this destruction.
B Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live.Farmers
need water of their crops.Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and
provide power for homes and industries .Trees , grasses ,and other plant life
play an important part in the natural circulation of water ,and thus help
conserve it .Without plants ,most water would run off as soon as it falls,
taking away valuable soil. Rapid run-off would cause frequent floods and
leave little water during dry seasons.
C These days it is impossible to open a newspaper without reading about
the damage we are doing to the environment .The earth is being threatened
and the future looks bad.What can each of us do? We cannot clean up our
polluted rivers and seas overnight.Nor can we stop the disappearance of

plants and animals .But we can stop worsening the problem while scientist
search for answers ,and laws are passed in nature’s defense.
