Long ago, a group of people lived on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean.

At first, the people were very organized and cooperative, in their free time,
they created big stone statues.

The forest gave them food and water, it also provided materials to construct
houses, canoes to go fishing in and tools to transport the big statues to the
coast.

As time passed, there were more and more people living on the island. they
divided into two groups and started to compete for the resource on the island.

The people cut down all the trees and the island lost its ecological balance.
without trees, there was soil erosion, the lakes dried and the animals died.

Vives en una ciudad costera. La pesca es una actividad económica muy

importante, pero en los últimos años la cantidad de peces ha disminuido. Esto
ha tenido un impacto negativo. Una empresa extranjera está interesada en
construir un puerto para exportar carbón por barco. Se ha ofrecido a comprar
una parte de la playa para este proyecto. El pueblo tiene que decidir qué hacer.
My family and I share the same opinion in that option C is more viable since it
offers opportunities for better development and at the same time ensuring the
care of the beach so that there is no contamination.
