Skills 1: Reading & Speaking
1Reading: Protecting Our Planet
The Earth, which is the third planet from the sun, is facing serious environmental challenges. Climate change, which is caused by greenhouse gas emissions, is leading to rising temperatures and extreme weather events. Deforestation, which destroys natural habitats, is threatening biodiversity worldwide.
However, there is hope. Many countries, which have recognized the urgency, are taking action. They are investing in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Individuals, who can make a difference through small actions, are also playing an important role. Recycling, reducing plastic use, and planting trees are simple but effective ways to protect our planet. The future of the Earth, which depends on our actions today, is in our hands.
