The future of the planet
0(D What is the future for our world?) We asked Professor Mike Summerbee of the University of Manchester for his
views. 1______________________________________ ‘I am very worried about the future,’ he said. In the last ten years,
climate change has become more and more of a problem. This means the world has got hotter and will continue to get
hotter in the future. Because of climate change, animals and plants are dying out.
2________________________________________ For example, areas which were forest are now becoming deserts.
Another problem for animals is man. 3________________________________________ More people need more land.
We need to build houses and grow food. The animals have a smaller and smaller area to live in.
4_________________________________________ There are more and more cars and factories opening every day. This
pollution makes the air and water dirtier and people will die younger. This is already happening in some cities such as
Tehran, Mexico or Los Angeles where you can see the pollution in the sky.
So, is it too late? 5_______________________________________ We can still save the planet if we try. We can find
clean energy for electricity and cars. 6________________________________________ Some people don’t like them but
they do give us clean energy. We can also plant trees and stop destroying the rain forests.
The good thing is that governments can now see what the problems are. They are talking about them. 7 The question is,
will they do more than talk? Will they do something soon? Or will it be too late?
