The bad points are that you need to change the water in the birdbath and provide a lot of food. The good point of the proposal for making a butterfl y garden is that butterfl ies are very pretty and fascinating to watch. The bad point is that you have to grow special plants and fl owers for the butterfl ies and caterpillars.

Fourth section
Focus on writing
AB page 20 / exercise 1
Punctuation: the apostrophe
We use the apostrophe:
• when we write two words as one:
1 the subject pronoun and the verb: I’m a member of the Kids Ecology Club. He’s my brother. They’ve got three computers at home.
2 the auxiliary + not:
Don’t throw away envelopes!
I can’t use old paper cups!
• to show that something belongs, is related to or is part of a person, a place or a thing:
The Earth’s temperature goes up every year.
Saleem’s brother drives to work every day.
Our country’s capital is a large city.
Rewrite this paragraph in your notebook. Put the apostrophes where necessary. There are eleven apostrophes. 20 apostrophes.
| Our Suns about 5,000 million years old! It heats the Earths atmosphere. But global warming isnt the Suns fault. Its peoples fault because they use machines. And machines emit carbon dioxide. You cant see this gas, but its the main cause of the trouble. And Im afraid things are getting really bad. Scientists study the Earths climate. They say our planets weather is becoming more and more violent. |
