The environment is the natural world that surrounds us, consisting of the air we breathe, the water
we drink, the land we live on, and the ecosystems that support life. It is essential for the well-being of all
living beings on Earth.
One of the issues concerning the environment is climate change. Human activities, such as burning
fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to the release of greenhouse gases, leading to global warming and
the change of ecosystems. Climate change has serious consequences, including extreme weather events, sea-
level rise, and the loss of biodiversity. Another important aspect of the environment is pollution. Industrial
activities, and the use of harmful chemicals contaminate the air, water, and soil. Pollution has negative
effects on human health, wildlife, and the overall balance of ecosystems.
Preserving and protecting the environment requires collective actions. Conservation efforts, such as
sustainable resource management and afforestation, play a crucial role in reducing environmental damage.
Besides, individual actions, such as reducing waste, and adopting eco-friendly practices, contribute to a more
sustainable future. It is essential to raise awareness and educate the public about environmental issues. By
this way. individuals can make informed choices and take steps to minimize their ecological footprint.

Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions.
Many children have music classes when they attend school. So how exactly can children take
advantage from studying music?
According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of children's brain that is involved
with languages, so they can understand their own language better. It could also help with learning a second
language. What’s more, children who have studied music also seem to score better in other areas. For
example, reading music includes learning about quarter and half notes, which are basically fractions, like in
mathematics. And when children are learning about rhythm, they are counting the notes in a piece of music.
So these school subjects seem to be connected.
Music can also let children explore new ideas, think in a creative way and gain confidence. If they
are learning the guitar, it can be really exciting when they can invent their own pieces of music. Moreover,
when they do that, they are also practicing their listening skills because they have to listen carefully to the
music they are making. This is particularly important when they perform with other people.
 One of the biggest advantages, of course, is that listening to music helps children to be less stressed.
And creating music can make them feel the same way. And who knows? Maybe their musical knowledge
will open up a great career path for them in the future.
