Question2 32

Question3 6

1. What are the four ways by which human beings are changing the world?

2. What are the serious consequences of people’s interference with the environment?

3. What has been done to protect the environment?

Four ways that people change the world are:- They are changing the environment by building cities and villages.- They are affecting the water supply by using water for industry and agriculture.- They are changing weather conditions by cutting down trees in the forests.- They are destroying the air by adding pollutants like smoke from factories and fumes from cars.

The serious consequences of people’s interference with the environment are:- Many kinds of rare animals are killed.- The environment where these animals are living is badly destroyed.- The numbers of rare animals are decreasing so rapidly that they are in danger of becoming extinct.

Many things have been done to protect the endangered nature, such as:- Many organizations have been set up and money has been raised to save rare animals.- Thousands of national parks have been established.- Laws have been passed to prohibit killing endangered animals.

Circle A, B, C or D that best sums up each paragraph.1. Paragraph 1 A. Human beings need to grow food.





The human race is only one small species in the living world. Many other species exist on this planet. However, human beings have a great influence on the rest of the world. They are changing the environment by building cities and villages where forests once stood. They are affecting the water supply by using water for industry and agriculture. They are changing weather conditions by cutting down trees in the forests. And they are destroying the air by adding pollutants to it.

conditionsdestroying the air






It can be said that human beings are changing the environment in all respects through their actions and by their habits. This has resulted in two serious consequences. The first is that many kinds of rare animals are killed. The second is that the environment where these animals are living is badly destroyed. As a result, the number of rare animals is decreasing so rapidly that they are in danger of becoming extinct.

human beings are changing theenvironment in all respects

1. Paragraph 1 A. Human beings need to grow food.





Task 2. Circle A, B, C or D that best sums up each paragraph.In order to make sure that these rare animals do not disappear, efforts have been made to protect the environment in which they live. Scientists have made lists of endangered species and suggested ways to save them. Many organizations have been set up and funds have been raised. Thousands of national parks all over the world have been established to protect endangered animals. Laws have been introduced to prohibit the killing of endangered animals and the destruction of the environments where they are living.

efforts have been made to protect the environment

1. Paragraph 1 A. Human beings need to grow food.





Circle A, B, C or D that best sums up each paragraph.

If people’s interference with the environment decreases, more species will survive and produce offering. The Earth will be a happy planet where human beings, animals and plants peacefully co-exist.

If people’s interference with the environment decreases

Work in groups:

Find out why some animals

become extinct.

-People kill animals for fur, skin and food.

- People keep animals as pets.

- People hunt or capture animals for recreation or entertainment.

People are destroying the natural environment:

- by cutting down trees in the forests

- by adding chemical pollutants

People’s interference with the environment cause many natural disasters: flood, forest fire, ….
