DEFORESTATION
1.
Read the text carefully then do the activities
The Amazon forest covers five million square kilometers, an area as big as the whole Europe excluding Russia. It contains one third of the world’s trees.
However, the trees are disappearing. Until 1974, people cut down a quarter of the forest. In the following year, 1975, four per cent of the remaining trees
disappeared. If the destruction of the forest continues at the same rate, there will be nothing left in a few years.
Scientists say that the disappearance of trees is already causing changes in the climate. In Peru, there is less snow than before on the high peaks of the Andes
mountains. In Bolivia there is very little rain.
What will happen if people cut down more of the Amazon forest? According to climatologists if the Amazon forest disappears, there will be less oxygen and it
will be difficult for us to breathe, the temperature will rise, the ice-caps at the North and the South poles will melt. Even the sea level will rise. Therefore, seaside
cities will be flooded.
All the scientists agree that if we destroy the Amazon forest, it will be an environmental suicide. Life on earth will become difficult, and it may become
impossible.
2. Mark following statements as true or false.
a-The Amazon forest is bigger than Europe.
b-It contains most of the world’s trees.
c-Deforestation leads to climate change.
d-If people destroy the Amazon forest, the coastal towns will be under water.

THE ATACAMA DESERT…
… the perfect place for people who are looking for adventure
The Atacama desert in Chile is a spectacular place. There is very little vegetation, and it looks like the moon – in fact NASA tested their lunar vehicles here.
There are some very big volcanoes. Almost nobody lives there, but there are some small villages on the edge of the desert. Life is hard and everything needs to be
imported – food, building materials, and of course water.
In 1971 it rained in Atacama. People were amazed because the last time it rained there was 400 years earlier, in 1570! It is the driest place in the world. But in
the village of Chungungo they are now getting water from the fog clouds which come from the sea. Daisy Sasmaya, a villager, says, “we are very happy because now
we can have a shower every day, and we can water our plants every week.”
The sky over the Atacama desert is hardly ever cloudy, so it is one of the best places in the world to see the stars. The biggest observatory in the world is being
built on top of a mountain. “It’s the purest air in the world,” says journalist Hugh O’Shaughnessy. “At night the sky is incredibly clear – you feel that there is nothing
between you and Mars.”
