Lesson 2
1. Reading: The UK's Wildlife

Wild life means all the plants, animals and other living things found in the wild. These can be
mammals such as squirrels, reptiles like the sand lizard, fish, insects and tiny little animals that
you can't see easily.

Habitats are the places where plants and animals live. They are all around us-on the land, in the
water, in the city and in the countryside. Habitats can be large, like woodlands and farmlands, or
small, like ponds and hedgerows. Some animals live in really tiny places, like the space between
sand grains!

Mr. Ismail Imadudeen 3

In the UK alone, there are about 37,000 different species of animals and 65,000 different species
of plants. Sadly, though, over the last 100 years more than 170 plants and animals species have
completely disappeared.

Today, about 15% of all British wildlife is still at risk, especially animals such as the otter and the
brown hare. Unless we do something to help, things will only get worse.

The main reason why some types of plants and animals are becoming endangered species is that
their habitats are lost or have changed. Animals like moths, birds and bats have lost their homes
as people have cut down the hedgerows they live in. also, a lot of ponds are no longer suitable for
the animals and plants to live in because they are polluted, or people have filled them in.

We need to save many species of endangered British wildlife from extinction before it is too late.
You can help by supporting environmental groups like the Environment Agency of the UK that are
working to protect our rare wildlife and habitats from the danger of disappearing forever. You can
even create a small wildlife habitat yourself, by making a pond at your house or in your
neighborhood.

Practice: Terms related to the environment. Study and put in sentences:

Green house gases, heat, The Ozone Layer, smog, pollution, contamination, preservation
of the environment, be green!, smoke, smog, poison, poisonous, deforestation, excessive
hunting, nature, GM food = genetically modified food, chemicals, biological imbalance,
diseases = illnesses, factory wastes, starvation, floods, drought, ultraviolet radiation,
oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorofluorocarbon, atmosphere, noise, rubbish,
garbage, forest, solar power, clean energy, planting trees, recycling, pesticides
