The Amazon forest, covering five million square kilometers and containing one-third of the world's trees, has lost a quarter of its area by 1974 and another quarter in 1975. If deforestation continues, it could lead to less oxygen, higher temperatures, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and flooding of seaside cities, ultimately endangering life on Earth.

Solución

The Amazon forest, spanning five million square kilometers and housing a third of the world's trees, is facing severe deforestation, with significant portions already lost since 1974. If this trend continues, it could lead to catastrophic environmental consequences, including reduced oxygen levels, rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and flooding in coastal cities, ultimately threatening life on Earth.

Beyond the Answer

The Amazon forest, spanning five million square kilometers, is crucial for the planet's ecology as it houses one-third of the world's trees. However, rampant deforestation has led to significant loss, with a quarter of the forest cut down by 1974 and more disappearing rapidly since then. Continued destruction threatens global oxygen levels, accelerates climate change, and could lead to disastrous flooding in coastal cities. If the Amazon continues to vanish at this alarming rate, we risk severe environmental consequences that could make life challenging for all species on Earth. It’s a dire reminder of the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect this vital resource.

QUESTION 2: Summary Read Text B and summarise the seven key points of the passage. Your summary must be in the form of one paragraph, using no more than 90 words. Provide an accurate word count at the end of the summary. Your language must be precise and in an appropriate register. Use your own words. TEXT B Who is responsible for the greatest change to our language? Turns out it's teenage girls. "If you're on a bus, what you should do is position yourself as close as possible to a group of young women and then shut your eyes and listen. What you hear is the future of language in your community," says Sali Tagliamonte, professor of linguistics at the University of Toronto. And while young people often lead the charge with language, Dr Tagliamonte points out that young women tend to be at least a generation ahead of young men, "Young women tend to be the drivers of linguistic change and progress." The discovery that young women drive linguistic change is not new. More than two decades ago, William Labov, the founder of modern sociolinguistics studies, observed that women lead 90 per cent of linguistic change. In 2003, linguists surveyed 6,000 letters. The study found there was a quicker uptake of new language contained within the letters written by women compared to those written by men. "What we see are the same types of patterns in language use, as we tap into contemporary language change," Dr Tagliamonte says. While some might celebrate linguistic change, others can find it threatening. "When language changes, it's a complex adaptive system. It is not the same change from one generation to the next, as each generation distinguishes itself from another," Dr Tagliamonte says. As she explains it, the teenage population is reluctant to sound like their parents and vice versa. One mother's main frustration is the Americanisation of phrases that her teenage daughters adopt. or example, they refer to "birth control" rather than "contraception" and "gas" instead of "petrol". r Tagliamonte says when we impose social value judgements on language, it's not because nguage is inherently good or bad. "It's because we make judgements about other people based i the way they talk." t, it seems language will inevitably continue to evolve.
