Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and
seasons. Climate change affects more than just a change in the weather; it refers
to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a
fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and
cultures that depend on them. Because so many systems are tied to climate, a
change in climate can affect many related aspects of where and how people,
plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water,
and health risks. For example, a change in the usual timing of rains or
temperatures can affect when plants bloom and set fruit, when insects hatch or
when streams are at their fullest. This can affect historically synchronized
pollination of crops, food for migrating birds, spawning of fish, water supplies for
drinking and irrigation, forest health and more.

4. Discussing new *Listen to your teacher as he/she reads the following passage and then
concepts and answer the question.
practicing new skills #2 1. Cats are affectionate, cuddly, and independent. Unlike dogs, cats can
stay on their own if you go away overnight. They do not need to be
walked, and can monitor their own food so they don’t overeat. Also, cats
do not bark, so your neighbors won’t have any noise to complain about.
If someone wants to have a pet, a cat is a great choice!
Ask: What is the pet mentioned in a passage? Do you like a cat too? Why?
What do you think is the summary of this passage?
2. Julie watched the ants as they carried small crumbs down the trail to the
anthill. She thinks ants are very hard working and industrious little
creatures. They always seemed busy, and you never saw an ant just
laying around doing nothing. They were carrying food, building tunnels,
or defending the anthill. One thing you could say about ants is that they
sure aren't lazy.
Ask: How will you describe the ants? Do you like the ants? Why? What do you
think is the summary of this passage?

1. Many people buy lottery tickets, but not many win. Even fewer give
away their prize. Paul Dela Cruz, a fast food assistant manager, won Ph
5,000,000.00 in the state lottery and decided to give the money to a
charity that adopts homeless and abandoned children. The charity
director could not believe Paul’s generosity. Paul didn’t think it was any
big deal. “The kids need it more than I do,” he said.
The Summary of this passage is:
A. The state lottery
B. The dangers of gambling
C. One man’s generosity
D. Pick the winning number

was going. He had left the directions at home and he didn’t have a map.
Now, he was in a strange neighborhood and he was confused. If he could
find a familiar landmark, he might figure things out.

*It started when they got to the bears. Peter felt tired and his stomach hurt. He
dragged himself over to see the elephants, which were eating from a stack of
hay. Normally, the elephants were his favourite. Without much interest, Peter
followed his classmates to the camels, which were busy swatting flies with their
tails. Peter knew he should be having fun at the zoo, but he just felt terrible and
all he wanted to do was lie down and rest. Even the lions and tigers did not
interest him now.

Tomorrow is Jill's birthday. She is excited because she gets to pick where she will
eat dinner. Will it be Mexican food at the Big Enchilada House? Or will it be fried
chicken at the Chicken Shack, or a big cheeseburger at Al's Hamburger Palace.
She just couldn't decide. Then there was always the Pizza Shop with that great
pepperoni pizza. How would she ever decide? Maybe she would just flip a coin.
For the walls, Jenny thought she would use a bright yellow paint. She would pick
a border that had mostly bright red and green color, and maybe a little bit of
blue. She already had found some curtains that were sky blue with streaks of
red, blue and yellow that she thought would go great with the walls. And finally,
she had picked a carpet that was mostly blue with specks of red and yellow.
Jenny couldn't wait till she was done decorating her room. It was really going to
look awesome.
Right now Jason was playing right field. He really wanted to play third base.
Earlier this year, coach had put him in left field and second base in a game, but
never at third base. Once in practice, coach let him play third base, but he kept
missing ground balls. When he did stop one, he made a bad throw to first base.
Maybe if he kept practicing, Jason would be good enough to play third base. That
was his dream.
