Exercise 5 : Read the following passage then make questions with the suggested

What is conservation ? Conservation is the wise use of our natural resources. You
know that plants are valuable natural resources. Coal, oil, and metal ores are
examples of other natural resources. Natural resources are the materials found in or
on the earth that are useful to man. Then why should we use our natural resources
carefully ?
We mine millions of tons of coal every year, we use millions of barrels of oil, we
cut down thousands of acres of forests. But the earth produces only a limited amount
of these natural resources.
Coal and oil were formed thousands of years ago, and the supply is gradually
running out. That is why we must use our natural resources as carefully and wisely
as we can. We must make them last as long as possible. Conservation is the wise use
of our natural resources.
