Task 2: Spend 15 minutes on this task. Read the text below. Explain how the writer has presented his views on the
damage caused by the forest fire to engage the reader.

The road was steep and slow and it took me much of the afternoon to drive the hundred or so mies to the Nevada border. Near Woodfords I entered the Toiyabe
National Forest, or at least what once had been the Toiyabe National Forest. For miles and miles there was nothing but charred land, mountainsides of dead earth
and stumps of trees. Occasionally I passed an undamaged house around which a firebreak had been dug. It was an odd sight, a house with swings and a
paddling pool in the middle of an ocean of blackened stumps. A year or so before the owners must have thought they were the luckiest people on the planet, to live
in the woods and mountains, amid the cool and fragrant pines. And now they lived on the surface of the moon.
