The land in Bangladesh is perfect for growing food and that’s one reason the country can feed its huge population.

In 1987–1988, over 4,000 people drowned after heavy rain.

Nigeria is one of the biggest countries in Africa. In the south there are rainforests, but in the north it is much drier. In fact, it is now so dry that the land is slowly dying. Every year, the Sahara desert gets bigger and farmers and their animals have to move further south. This means less land to live on and less food for the people.

Chile is an amazing country, with the driest desert in the world in the north and 7,000-metre-high mountains in the east. Its capital, Santiago, is a huge city which lies in a valley with mountains around it. In the winter the air gets stuck in the valley and, like Los Angeles, the city suffers from very bad smog.

Recycling

Read the passage.

Recycling is very important in our lives because the waste we create is increasing all the time. The rise in population means that there are more people on the planet to create waste. New packaging are being developed, but much of these products contain materials that are not eco- friendly. New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create additional waste that isn’t recyclable. Recycling helps to decrease the pollution caused by waste. It reduces the need for raw materials so that the rainforests can be preserved. Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials. Recycling requires much less energy which helps to preserve natural resources. We should always remember that making products from raw materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.

Decide T (True) or F (False).
