Exercise 4. Read the text and answer the following questions.
Solar power is an energy obtained from direct sunlight. It is one of the many renewable sources of
energy which you can convert into usable energy for various purposes. The use of solar power energy
has been gradually improving, and as much as many have been adopting it, there are a few challenges
they face. Below are some advantages and disadvantages of this type of energy.
One of the main benefits of using solar power energy is that it is clean and renewable. This means it is
environment-friendly and will not pollute it in any way possible. Second, the panel systems used in
converting sunlight into solar power energy do not require a lot of maintenance because the inverter
requires replacement after five or ten years. Next, solar power energy is adequate to power most
homes in terms of lighting. In addition to that, it can be used for other household purposes such as
cooking and heating up your home. This helps reduce greatly the cost of paying utility bills that are
quite expensive.
On the other hand, solar panels rely on the only source of solar power that is sunlight and its rays to
produce energy. So, during the night, there is no production of solar power energy. Besides, solar
energy is restricted to production during the day when sunlight or sunrays are available. That means,
if you want to use solar power at night, you have to store it in large batteries, and the batteries cost
quite a lot and they need good maintenance to keep them working properly.
Solar power energy is advantageous in many ways, but at the same time, it is bound to some
disadvantages. The main aim is to harness solar power energy and replace other sources of power
that are dangerous to the environment.
1. What kind of energy is mentioned in the text?
A. Wind power B. Water power C. Thermal power D. Solar power
2. What is the main idea of the text?
A. advantages of a type of energy
B. disadvantages of a type of energy
C. advantages and disadvantages of a type of energy
D. how to use energy effectively
3. Which of the following is the benefit of using solar power energy?
A. it’s inadequate to power most homes in terms of lighting
B. it’s non-renewable
C. the panel systems require a lot of maintenance
D. it’s environment-friendly
4. The word “expensive” is CLOSEST in meaning to __________.
A. cheap B. inexpensive C. affordable D. costly
5. Which of the following are the disadvantages of using solar power energy, EXCEPT __________?
A. there is no production of solar power energy during the night
B. it is restricted to production during the day
C. the batteries cost a small amount of money
D. the batteries need good maintenance to keep them working properly
Exercise 5. Read the text and answer the following questions.
EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim is to
involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually at the
end of March every year. On this evening, people ‘go dark’- that is, switch olf lights in their homes,
schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007,
when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it has
grown into an international event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous
buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include the Sydney opera House and Harbour Bridge, the
Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace in London, the
Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so that
people enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future. It’s true that switching off
the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning. On one
level, joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and what we can
do in everyday life to protect nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is ‘60+’. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the plus
invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who join Earth
Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate activist
Greta Thunberg says that ‘Earth Hour is every hour of every day.’
1. What is the aim of the Earth Hour event?
__________________________________________________________________________________
2. When is this event usually organized?
__________________________________________________________________________________
3. How many famous buildings have gone dark for Earth Hour?
__________________________________________________________________________________
4. What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
__________________________________________________________________________________
5. What does plus “+” in the logo “60+” mean?
__________________________________________________________________________________
Exercise 6. Read the text and decide whether the following sentences are True (T) or False (F).
Energy is the power derived by using chemical or physical resources, and it is the strength and
vitality required for sustained mental or physical activity. People and animals get energy from eating
food. The plants receive their energy from the Sun, and in turn people eat the plants and animals that
have also eaten plants-all made possible by the food chain.
Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out
some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels
are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. However, renewable energy
sources will never run out, are better for the environment and do not cause pollution. They can
sometimes cost a little more money. Renewable energy sources include the Sun, wind, water, heat
from the earth, and biomass (plants).
Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is a natural energy, always available
and does not have to be formed like nonrenewable energy. The green energy is always there. For
example, the Sun consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year.
The five types include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth;
hydroelectric, energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and microorganisms and
finally, energy from the wind.
1. People and animals get energy from the Sun.
2. Non-renewable energy sources take millions of years to form and will run out some day.
3. Non-renewable energy comes from the sun, water, wind...
4. Renewable energy sources are better for the environment.
5. Geothermal is a kind of energy from heat within the Earth.
