Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. i have said that a fifth or more
of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020 unless better
efforts are made to save them. as the last forests are felled [destroyed] in forest strongholds like the
philippines and ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. in the world as a whole, extinction rates
are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. they cannot be balanced by
new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
why should we care? what difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species
on earth disappear? let me count the ways. new sources of scientific information will be lost. vast potential
biological wealth will be destroyed. still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber, fibers, pulp, soil-
restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light.
based on the excerpt, which statement best summarizes the author's beliefs about the disappearing species?
the loss of plant species and habitats will lead to widespread animal extinction
the loss of plant species and habitats will lead to environmental problems in remote regions
the loss of plant species and habitats will displace animals and decrease human wealth.
• the loss of plant species and habitats will devastate animals and hinder human progress

Will anyone be able to check for grammatical errors and give an opinion on the essay itself? write about the following topic: some people believe that allowing children to make their own cholces on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. discuss both these views and give your own opinion. —— nowadays, in this busy and fast developing world teaching children from an early age to cope with their own decisions (such as food, clothes etc.) and then take the coincidences after that is something that a lot of people believe that it is important for them. on the other hand other people think that it might end up in a society of humans who put their wishes before anyone else's. but which one of these views will predominate? firstly, the people who allow their children to make their own decisions are the people who everyone should look up to. it is important to let your children learn from the mistakes their make. the parents can not be with them all the time every day and for that reason, teaching them to deal with their decisons or even problems will them in the future. of course, there are always disadvantages such as some people may really forget about that their children will need them at a certain point in life and may loose connection whit them. but that is why it should have that moderately path, where kids will make their own decisions but will feel comfortable to always ask for a advice tueur parents. on the other hand, there are and the second type of parents which think that too much individualism is not good. it really depends on the parents how they will teach their children to carry on with the independence they have. a lot of them might forget that they are still kids and will need and advices from time to time and because of that the parents turn their kids in individuals who only think about their own wishes due to the fact that they are let on their own and have to cope with everyone and everything by themselves. in conclusion, i think that the best decision someone can make is to look up to the first type of parents. that way they will be able to train their children to become independent people who will respect the wishes of others and they will be able to cope with their decisions in the future when they need it.
