ACTIVITY N° 1
READING COMPREHENSION
Evaluaras tus conocimientos en lectura. Primero lee los párrafos (1, 2 y 3)
Luego relaciónalos con cada una de las opiniones que se encuentran en las letras ( a, b y c). Escribe el número en la
línea.
1. BIG BUSINESS
The city council has announced the creation of a new shopping center.
Sadly, it’s necessary to cut down a small forest of 200 trees to make space for the development. Local politicians strongly
believe that the shopping centre is great for business in the city.

2. PLASTIC PROHIBITION
The mayor of the city is now asking people to stop using plastic bags. In
her opinion, it’s good to prohibit the use of plastic bags. Some people don’t agree with her. They feel they have the right to
use plastic bags because they’re useful for many things.

3. CATCHING ONLY THE BIG ONES

There are no fish in the markets. Local fishermen say that fishing has been especially difficult, because the fish they
catch are very small. They really think it’s wrong to catch such small fish. They prefer to put them back in the ocean so
they can grow bigger. Now the city’s seafood restaurants are closed until the big fish return.

b) I have no doubt that it’s a mistake to cut down all those trees. Many birds and animals will lose their habitat. _______

a) I agree with the fishermen. I really think that it’s good practice to protect all marine species. _________
