READING . Read this text and do Task A and B 5 x 0.2= 1 mark

A
Humans are the principal cause of plants and animals becoming endangered or extinct. An
endangered species has so few members that the species may die out. Unless something is done to
protect an endangered species, they will be gone forever. We will not have any more of that kind of
plant or animal on Earth.

B
The most dangerous thing humans do to endangered animals is destroy their habitats. This is usually
because we do not pay very close attention. When there is an area of land we want to use for
different purposes, we don’t notice or see what is already living there.

C
Thousands of acres of tropical forest, or rainforest, have been destroyed by humans. People wanted
the land and wood for building projects. A lot of plants and animals have been lost in this one
habitat alone. Many of the organisms that live in the tropical rainforest do not live anywhere else.
We are just beginning to discover medicines and other resources there. We may lose that knowledge
if more species die out.

D
Most of us don’t live near a tropical rainforest. However, that does not mean we are far away from
habitat destruction. When a town expands, more houses and businesses are built. The town pushes
the local wildlife farther from its natural habitat. Wetlands and grasslands are unique habitats that
are especially in danger. Thankfully, people are more aware of the problem. This is the first step
toward protecting habitats.

Task A : Match the headings to the paragraphs

THE POWER OF INDIFFERENCE B

1 THE BEGINNING OF A CHANGE C
2 IMMEDIATE ACTION, PLEASE! A
3 THE EFFECTS OF DESTRUCTION D

Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 Unique resources can be found in tropical forests. T F

5 People don’t care about the future of rainforests. T F

It is false because many people are more aware of that problem.

 PART B

WRITING 10 marks

Write one composition using 110 to 140 words.

Choose either option A or option B and circle the letter corresponding to your choice.

A- Write a STORY beginning:

‘I had spent weeks organizing my birthday party. The day had finally come…’

B- You are working as a waiter/waitress in London for the summer. Write a LETTER to your parents telling
them about this new experience: your daily routine, the people you’ve met, especially one; the places
you’ve visited and your plans for the next couple of weeks.

Dear parents,

Hi! What have you been doing these days? I have been working a lot! I am working as a waitress for the
summer.

I always arrive at the restaurant at 8.00 P.m and I finish at 13.00 P.m. In the restaurant where I am working,
famous people eat every day. I have met Zendaya, Tom Holland, Chris Evans and so on. They are rather good
with their fans. On the other hand, I have made friends really fast! I have a best friend called Adam. He always
helps me. As for London, I have visited Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. They both are pretty interesting
because of their history. Next weekend, I will go out with Adam to a theater.

I hope you are ok. Have a nice week!

Kisses,

Catalina
