to each of the questions.

Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees to make room for something beside forest Deforestation can include clearing the land for farming or livestock, or using the timber for fuel, construction or manufacturing.  

Forests are an important natural resource, but humans have destroyed substantial quantities

of forested land In North America, about half the forests in the eastern part of the continent were cut down for timber and farming between the 1600s and late 1800s, according to National Geographic. Likewise, it is commonly reported that four commodities are mostly responsible for the vast majority of tropical deforestation: beef, soy, palm oil, and wood products. 

People often light fires to clear land for agricultural use Therefore, deforestation not only eliminates vegetation that is important for removing carbon dioxide from the air, but the act of clearing the forests also produces greenhouse gas emissions

Developing alternatives to deforestation can help decrease the need for tree clearing If people adopted sustainable farming practices or employed new farming technologies and crops, the need for more land might be diminished

Everyone can do their part to curb deforestation However, deforestation is a global problem that won’t be overcome by individual actions, and will require large-scale efforts by nations’ leaders to change course and reduce forest destruction.

Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives Both language and music play a huge role in our culture, and here are some of their similarities

Both language and music have a writing system.  In English, we record language using a collection of letters Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music Just as you are reading this collection of letters and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form

of music By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time Both vary with culture. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation

Both share emotion. Of course you may be able to see my feelings in my face, but you will know for sure through my words Similarly, music can show you exactly how the composer was

or is feeling, and allows us to share in that emotion When you feel happy, you might want to

sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness In contrast, you have probably

also listened to sad music when feeling down We have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics

III Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.

Music is an almost everlasting presence in our lives; whether it’s the latest song playing

every time we turn on the radio, or a long-forgotten classic playing in the shops Thanks to mp3 players, you will never be without music As long as you have a pair of earphones, you can listen

to your favourite artists, without any interruption.

My favourite artist, the singer-songwriter Ben Howard, is currently on tour in Europe Although

it sounds tempting to me to write about Ben Howard and his musical genius only, it could be

boring for anyone who isn’t as interested in him as I am

There is something so uniquely special about experiencing music live Beautiful, well-played

pieces of music can be electrifying There are songs that can make the hair on the back of your

neck stand up It can make you want to laugh or cry; it can make you want to sing or dance along;

it can transport you far away from anything troubling you in your daily life

There is nothing that compares to standing in the middle of a crowd, watching your favourite singer or band perform their greatest hits So if you get the opportunity, go and see them live - it will be something you never forget
