II READING (2.5 points)

TASK 1 Read the passage Circle the best answer A, B, or C to

each of the questions.

There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas, and

this causes many complicated problems for any nation

without any exception Due to the population explosion, many

governments need more land for residents to live and

develop the economy They also clear forests to build dams

for generating electricity or to develop resorts and

recreational complexes Besides, a huge number of trees are

logged illegally to trade wood All of these lead to serious

issues as forests always have an important role in the

ecosystem balance It is undoubted that when a forest area is

destroyed, the following results affect the other neighbor

regions The first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is

flooding Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and

without them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated

frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons Another problem is

global warming Forests are often considered as the lungs of

the earth because they absorb the carbon dioxide and release

the oxygen This helps to refresh the atmosphere and lower

the rate of the carbon dioxide in the air If not, the average

temperature will be higher and higher since the emission of

the gas into the atmosphere increases every day

Consequently, the price we would pay for the flooding or for

the increase of greenhouse gases is not only the damaged

and polluted environment but also our deteriorated health

and lives To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in

protecting and growing more and more forests

Script:

Hello everyone, welcome to the Evening news podcast today We start with the news of the wildlife environment There is a threat to the red-shanked doucs According to experts, the primate is native to Indochinese countries, but these days we can only observe them in Son Tra peninsula located in the Center of Viet Nam This kind of rare wild animal is listed among the most endangered animals over the world Recently, it faces the loss of its natural habitat

because of local people's behaviors like cutting down trees to build houses and farms Dangerously, a few doucs were found dead in the edge of the forest last week, which puts their survival at the very alarming situation There are some conservation efforts from the volunteer groups dedicated to

preventing the animals from harmfulness and raising people’s awareness of protecting the vulnerable wild animals Nevertheless, the local authority also needs to immediately carry out more actions to secure the long-term survival

of the wild mammals in the peninsula as well.
