I. Fill in each blank in the passage with the correct word from the box. forest loss threats ecosystems clearing habitats use farms fauna demand
Agriculture is a major land (1)
. Around 50% of the world's habitable land
has already been converted into farming land. Agricultural (2) provide important (3)
for many wild plant and animal species. This is especially the case for traditional
farming areas that cultivate diverse species. However, rising (4)
for food and other agricultural products has seen large- scale (5)
of natural habitats to make room for farming.
Recent examples include the conversion of lowland (6) in Indonesia into oil
palm plantations, and of large areas of the Amazon rainforest and Brazilian savanna to soybean and cattle (7) . This ongoing habitat (8)
threatens entire ecosystems as well as many
species. Expanding oil palm plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia, for example, pose the most significant (9) to endangered (10) including Asian elephants,
Sumatran rhinoceros, and tigers. M i

III.Fill in each blank with ONE suitable word. Protecting Biodiversity
Protecting biodiversity is now very essential since biodiversity is crucial for reducing climate
pollution. If we don’t protect biodiversity, the effects could be as harmful as the effects of global (1)
itself. This is especially true with tropical (2)
- they are critical to fighting climate change and (3) to more species than any
other ecosystem type. In other words, protecting biodiversity is

could never be reproduced by humans. The (9) of that biodiversity is
immeasurable, and thus must be protected. Finally, we both want and need biodiversity. We
continue harming the natural environment without realizing the impact. We should be aware (10) protecting biodiversity.

imagination. Birds build their nests in many different places and environments. Some live on
high branches, some live in bushes and some of them even nest on the ground. Birds use their
nests mainly to hatch their eggs and raise their offspring.
Because of the destruction of trees, plants, bushes, etc., these birds are
losing their habitats and breeding grounds. There is a great lack of optimal
breeding areas for birds. Proper breeding areas for birds are decreasing at an
alarming rate. Nowadays, it is hard for birds to find even the space to build nests.
Some birds build nests on naturally formed tree hollows on ancient trees.
But unfortunately, there are very less old trees left in our country except rural areas. Ducks are
going towards extinction because they build their nest on old trees using the hollows, and we
have almost no such trees. We know that birds play an invaluable and irreplaceable role in nature.
We should not destroy or harm any bird’s nest. We can teach our children to observe birds
and nests and how they take care of their eggs. If we can encourage our children like this, it will
be a great start to their education.
We need to let people know how to keep enough open space around their homes where birds
will feel safe. This is not just for the birds; it will help us too. We will gain more in the long run
if we preserve the forests for our leisure and for animals and birds.
Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in each blank. Answer A B 1. traits (n) A. the best possible 2. offspring (n)
B. empty space in something 3. optimal (adj)
C. particular characteristics 4. hollows (n) D. extremely useful 5. invaluable (adj)
E. the young of an animal
