LISTENING
3 Listen to a radio programme about life on Earth. Which three things make up life on Earth?
Audioscript
Do you know why there is life on Earth? Well it is because there is water.
From space, Earth is a beautiful, blue planet. The colour blue is the oceans, which cover two-thirds of Earth’s surface.
Earth is different from other planets because its climate is suitable for humans, plants and animal species like insects, fish, birds, reptiles amphibians and mammals. The temperature is tolerable and doesn’t go from extreme to another.
In addition, oxygen is the gas that most living beings need for breathing. Trees and plants breathe out this air to provide it for other living beings.
Answers
Water, air and oxygen
