ON READING

Focus on the topic

The answers may vary.

Read for the main ideas

1.D

2.A

Read on and between the lines

A. Read the article carefully and finish the following exercises.

1.BCA

2. The misconception is that planting a new tree has the same practical effect as preserving an existing mature tree, which is not the case due to the difference in their environmental contributions.

3. The author finds planting a tree heartwarming because watching something grow from a small beginning is an act of nurturing and a symbol of hope.

4. The author suggests we should remember the comfort mature trees give us and other benefits such as their cooling shade; therefore, we should fight to preserve them.

B. Making inferences

[Try this] 

Statement 2:True

Explanation:In paragraph 2, the author writes: “The irony is that human beings cut down old trees all the time, for no reason but the inconvenience of their falling leaves, or because they are in the way of a road, or due to safety concerns.” Therefore, we can infer that urban trees are at risk of being cut down.

Statement 3:True

Explanation: In paragraph 3, the author writes: “Too few of us understand the crucial contribution that trees make in our cities.” Therefore, we can infer that urban trees are undervalued.

Statement 4:False

Explanation:In paragraph 4, the author writes: “Newly planted saplings can help, but with nowhere near the same effectiveness as mature trees.” Therefore, we can infer planting alone is not enough.

ON SUMMARY

Step 1: Plan your draft

1. Human beings tend to like big, tall and incredibly ancient trees, preferably growing at somepretty distance.

2. Because of the inconvenience of their falling leaves, or because they are in the way of a road, ordue to safety concerns.

3. Many people ignore the crucial contribution that trees make in our cities: cooling hot buildings, preventing storm-water runoff, improving air quality, or providing a habitat for our wild neighbors.

4. No. Newly planted saplings can help, but with nowhere near the same effectiveness as mature trees.

5. The author holds that it is necessary to fight just as hard to savemature trees as we do replacing the trees we’ve already lost.

The draft:

Human beings tend to likebig, tall and incredibly ancient trees, preferably growing at some pretty distance. The irony is that human beings cut down old trees all the time, for no reason but the inconvenience of their falling leaves, or because they are in the way of a road, or due to safety concerns. Too few of us understand the crucial contribution that trees make in our cities: cooling hot buildings, preventing storm-water runoff, improving air quality, or providing a habitat for our wild neighbors. Newly planted saplings can help, but with nowhere near the same effectiveness as mature trees. We need to fight just as hard to save them as we do replacing the trees we’ve already lost.

2. large

3. realize

4. vital

5. preserve

1. The black walnutsapling which was planted in our front yard was a gift from a local squirrel. 

2. We need to protect the forestswhich can capture carbon before it adds to the heating climate.

Step 3: Edit your draft

People love large, ancient trees, yetironically, they cut them down for minor inconveniences or perceived risks. Few realize the vital roles which trees play, such as cooling, storm-water prevention, air purification, and wildlife habitats. The benefits of young trees are not as effective as those of mature ones, so we must preserve existing trees while planting new ones. (59 words)

The flooded forest and its changing landscape

lDuring the peak rainy season, the river floods the forest and pushes out the Indigenous communities. Entire villages temporarily disappear below the surface of the water. The river appears to completely destroy the jungle, but it also creates new routes for exploration. 

lThe guides, Pizango and Aguilar, who were born and raised along the river, share their deep knowledge and understanding of the jungle with the author.

Wildlife and deeper exploration of the river

One morning, the author and the guides set out tosearch for the famous pink river dolphins, which are much easier to spot during the rainy season. The author spies three of them as they arch beneath the orange-red colors of the sunrise. Apart from those, the author also sees a baby crocodile peeking through the grass, a white-throated toucan taking flight, and a pair of sloths lying lazily in a tree. One of the guides also shows the author a tree frog, the size of a coin.
