4 Listen to an interview with a Jordanian scientist called Adnan Saleem. He is talking about global warming, and its causes and effects. What is global warming?
Audioscript
Interviewer: Professor Adnan, some people are not well aware of how terribly global warming is affecting our planet. Can you please explain?
Adnan Saleem: Global warming is one of the biggest problems in the world today. Its effect on animals, agriculture, as well as humans is frightening. Temperature is increasing worldwide, ice is melting, some animal species are breeding less, and sea level rise has become faster over the last century.
Interviewer: That doesn’t sound pleasant. Do you think these problems will become worse in the future?
Adnan Saleem: Indeed. If governments and people don’t take immediate action to reduce global warming, the effects will only get worse. Future effects include more killer storms, floods and droughts, massive crop failures, widespread extinction of species and less fresh water.
Interviewer: What immediate action do you mean should be taken?
Adnan Saleem: Every individual should begin with themselves and encourage their acquaintances if possible. Cut down your use of electricity, do not burn trash, ride your bike from time to time or walk, plant trees and recycle. These are all ideas that are good for your health as well.
Interviewer: I will be the first to take that advice! Thank you Professor Adnan.

1 Rewrite the following text. Use the words from the box to replace the ones in bold.

flood magma pottery diamonds been frozen remote benefited Nomadic people tent wildlife |
Last summer, my family and I went on a trip to a faraway camping site up in the mountains. We saw a lot of animals and living things that were specific to the area. The weather was nice and cold. The place where we set up our shelter was high up and next to a lake. In the early morning, the plants had turned into ice and we had to wear warm clothes. My father told us old stories about the people who travelled constantly and who passed through these areas. These people worried that hot liquid would flow out of the volcano and kill everything. But instead, there was a huge overflow of water and rain many years ago that killed a lot of people. There were also miners who would look for precious stones in some of the caves in the mountain. Most people who lived up in the mountains profited from nature. They made pots made from clay using the mud that they got from the land.

6 Write a paragraph about some possible solutions to global warming. Use the Second Conditional. We would see an improvement in global warming if people conserved electricity. In addition, if people used their cars less often, there would be less pollution.
Example answer: We would see an improvement in global warming if people conserved electricity. In addition, if people used their cars less often, there would be less pollution. If there were less pollution, fewer species of animals would become extinct so quickly. If information about global warming was wider-known, we would do more to slow down the process.
