II. READING

TASK 1. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Protecting the environment is one of the most important challenges of our time. Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. It is released into the atmosphere primarily from transport, industry, and deforestation. If we want to combat climate change, we must reduce carbon emissions by switching to cleaner energy sources and reducing our carbon footprint.

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower are essential in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. These energy sources do not produce harmful emissions and are considered environmentally friendly. Additionally, by using energy more efficiently and reducing consumption, we can lower the demand for energy production and decrease the pollution generated by power plants.

Protecting natural habitats, especially forests, is also crucial in the fight against climate change. Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. By conserving forests and planting more trees, we can help mitigate the effects of carbon emissions and maintain a healthier planet for future generations.
