ENVIRONMENT
Air, sea and land pollution is one of the biggest problems of our time. We produce a lot of garbage during our lifetime and we need to get rid of it. One solution to this problem is recycling. Ecology is the science that studies the environment.
Ecologists know that nuclear testing is very dangerous for the environment.
9. Fill in the gaps with the right words from the box.
Ana would like to go to an eco-camp this summer because there you stay close to nature all the time, you sleep in tents, explore the woods, feed the animals and learn about ways to save energy at home. She really enjoyed working with animals last year.
Lovro would like to go to a nature-awareness camp.
He loves animals. Learning about survival techniques sounds like fun, too. His cousin will go with him. Sleeping in tents on the solid ground is much better than sleeping on a yacht. Lovro will miss being plugged in, broadband and stuff.
But he'll learn about ecology and that's an issue he really cares about. He'd like to be an expert in that area some day.

B: 6 Teacher: Wei I, let's imagine a fox, a snake and an owl. They all eat rabbits, mice and voles, who in turn eat nuts, leaves, and seeds. If you kill all the snakes, there will be too many mice and voles and there will be an unbalance.
