Elephants use tusks for stripping trees, moving objects, fighting and display. Humans have other uses for tusks which are made of ivory such as jewellery, piano keys and billiard balls. Although ivory has been valued for centuries, large scale killing of elephants for ivory did not begin until about 1900. By the 1970s and 1980s, poaching had become a serious problem. Between 1979 and 1992, the number of elephants plunged from 1.3 million to about 600 000. Elephants were in danger. Those protecting the elephants chose a simple solution which was to ban the sale of ivory. Hence the poachers would find it difficult to make a living. The ban of ivory sales worked. Elephant population grew fast in southern Africa but they also began to damage crops and chase villagers. This created a problem for those protecting the wildlife. Angry villagers were demanding that elephants should be taken away from areas near humans or even killed. One solution was to let the local people have control of the way the elephants were managed. But how could you make the villagers want to look after the elephants? So the authorities began to allow the sale of ivory as a way for the villagers to raise money. This gave them an interest in managing the elephants. In 1998, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species (CITES) lifted the ban on all trade in ivory. Money from the sale of African ivory is being used to help people live alongside elephants. Adapted from Just English, 2003

We know that music affects us emotionally but not all music moves us equally. A piece of music that inspires one person can cause irritation and annoyance in another. Music that we love listening to makes us feel relaxed and gives an impact on us through its melody, rhythm and beats. On the other hand, musical styles that we dislike will make us feel displeased and uncomfortable. Today, there is a growing field of health-care known as Music Therapy which uses music specifically to help with healing. Many hospitals now use music therapy to help patients cope with pain, fight off depression and promote movement in order for them to get together and enjoy each others company. One of the most interesting recent findings is that a faster musical beat brings sharper concentration and more alert thinking while a slower tempo promotes a calmer and more meditative state. When we listen to relaxing music, it will help us feel less stressed and can help to lower blood pressure and ease muscle tension. There is no doubt that music offers something to everyone. As the recent studies seem to show, music can also help and heal too. Music may not be appropriate at every moment of your day, but you may be surprised by how much difference a dose of the right music at the right time can make. (Adapted from Just English, 2008)
Write a summary on how music can heal us. Your summary must: not be more than 60 words, including the ten words given below be in continuous writing (not in note form) be written in one paragraph.
