ENGLISH WRITTEN TEST I.

Read this text.

My name’s Maria. I’m twelve years old and I’m Brazilian. I live in Manaus, in Amazonia , the biggest tropical forest in the world. My father is a biologist and he works there. He studies the relationship between humans, trees and animals. I like living here. I like music, animals, and collecting unusual stones I pick up when I go to the forest with my father. I don’t like seeing the destruction of the forest, plants, animals and indigenous people. Nature is in danger all over the world. There are so many problems: the pollution of the air, ocean and rivers, the destruction of the ozone layer, animals and plants in danger of extinction, fires, climate changes and global warming are just some of them .We must start doing something to change this situation. It begins with every one of us, at home , at school, everywhere. We must answer a question: what can we do? First we should reduce – for example – use less water when we shower or while we brush our teeth. We can reuse some materials, like old clothes or shoes, right? And we should also recycle. I recycle paper, glass, metal and plastic. What about you? Are you doing the three Rs? We must help PROTECT THE PLANET! Don’t forget that. “Reduce, reuse and recycle“
