ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT TEXT TYPES (NARRATIVE, EXPOSITORY,

DESCRIPTIVE,  PERSUASIVE AND ARGUMENTATIVE) . 

TEXT 1 

Read the following text and answer the questions. 

Remember the scepticism last year when the United States banned most aerosol
sprays  containing chlorofluorocarbons? People found it hard to believe that
squirting deodorant  out of a can was jeopardizing the stratospheric ozone layer,
which protects the earth from  excessive ultraviolet radiation. It was like finding out
that eating candy causes earthquakes.  But now almost all experts agree that
ozone-eating aerosol gases do indeed rise slowly  into the stratosphere, where
sunlight breaks them down and releases chlorine that does in  fact erode the
ozone layer. Even worse, the ozone seems to be eroding much faster than  
originally believed. The threat has not been eliminated, only postponed, by the
American  ban.  

Adapted from “The Ozone” (Maccoun 1983)
