11. Read the text.
Last weekend, I saw my cousin Louise. The last time I saw her was six years ago, and she
has changed a lot. She was eight then, and she was short and well-built, and she wore
glasses. Now she’s really different. She’s tall and slim, and she plays a lot of sport. She
doesn’t wear glasses either. Louise goes to secondary school now, and she plays volleyball
for the school team. At the moment, she’s got a broken arm because she had an accident
two weeks ago. Louise normally cycles everywhere, but she can’t go cycling at the moment
because of her arm. At school, her favourite subjects are the same as mine: P.E. and art.
When she leaves school, she wants to be a designer or a P.E. teacher. Six years ago,
Louise came on holiday with me and my family. I remember that she wasn’t very happy.
This summer, she’s going to come to the beach with us. I think that it will be much better
this year!

The rainforests
Did you know that some rainforests are older than dinosaurs! …some trees in the rainforest
are 45 metres tall! The Amazon rainforest is in Brazil. It’s the biggest rainforest in the world.
Thirty percent of the world’s animals and plants live there. There are more than two million
insect species in the rainforests. But, every day, about 35 species become extinct and
disappear. Why? Because people don’t protect the rainforests. Every year, they cut down a
lot of trees. Last year, they cut down an area as big as Galicia. Small farmers and big
companies cut down the trees for different reasons. Farmers sometimes want to have space
to cultivate food. Companies cut down trees to make paper and cardboard. If people
destroy the rainforests, the consequences will be serious for everybody. That’s because the
rainforests produce most of the earth’s oxygen. If they don’t produce oxygen, there will be
more carbon dioxide in the air. If there is more carbon dioxide in the air, the world’s
temperature will increase. This problem is called ‘global warming’. We must protect the
rainforests. We need them now and people will need them in the future.
15. 1.Write true (T) or false (F).
1 The world’s biggest rainforest is in Latin America. _____
2 Some rainforests existed before dinosaurs. _____
3 Two million species disappear from the rainforests every day. _____
4 People didn’t cut down any trees last year. _____

16. 2. Read the text again. Then answer the questions.
1 How tall are some trees in the rainforests?

2 How many insect species are there in the rainforest?

3 Why do companies cut down trees in the rainforest?

4 What will happen if there is more carbon dioxide in the air?
