Ecological problems

There are many problems which B11 threaten (THREAT) our natural environment. Acid rains, B12 global (GLOBE) warming and air and water B13 pollution (POLLUTE) are among the most serious ones. There are several ways to help improve the situation. Firstly, we should encourage B14 recycling (RECYCLE) because it is the B15 production (PRODUCE) of new materials which causes the most damage. We must learn to reuse things like plastic bags and glass jars. Secondly, driving an environmentally-friendly car is also B16 helpful (HELP). Furthermore, joining an B17 organization (ORGANIZE) which plants trees or cleans up beaches would be a B18 proof (PROVE) that you are really B19 concerned (CONCERN) about the environment. Lastly, supporting groups such as Greenpeace, which try to prevent many B20. environmental (ENVIRONMENT) disasters, would help to ensure that our planet will be clean and safe for the future generations.

Once there was a wise old man…

He could answer any question in the world. Everybody knew about him. One day two boys said, “We’re going to fool that old man. We’ll catch a bird, go to the old man and say, “We are holding something in our hands. Is it alive or is it dead?” If he says, “Dead”, we’ll let the bird fly, and if he says, “Alive”, we’ll kill it. They caught a bird and they carried it to the old man and they said, “We are holding something in our hands. Is it alive or is it dead?” And the wise old man looked at the young people and smiled. “It’s in your hands”, he said.
