Natural beauty of Maldives
Maldives is known as “the tropical paradise” for reasons. Its beauty is none like
other. Maldives is a tropical country with separated islands, which are separated by sea.
Each island is surrounded by stunning white sandy beaches. It is a wonderful
experience to visit and explore the beauty of the islands.
The sea covers about 99% of the Maldives and it is where most attractive things lie
in. There are over five thousand coral reefs and plenty of reef fish, corals, marine
mammals, and so many other marine lives. And that is the reason people say, diving in
Maldives is unforgettable.
Almost all the islands in Maldives are surrounded by beautiful pure white sandy
beaches. Even if you have nothing else to do, I am sure you won’t get bored walking in
the soft white sandy beaches and leaving your foot prints on.
When you look at an island from a distance, you can find green trees before
anything else, and specially the coconut palms. That brings more beauty to the islands,
plus you get amazing drink out of the coconut palms.
Traveling in a sea plane and watching the beautiful islands from the window is the
most wonderful experience you could ever have. Islands are formed in a way that
makes a round which is called as an atoll. When you see them from sea plane view, it
will look like a chain of pearls.
With the natural and beautiful surrounding, you could have a memorable trip in
Maldives. It IS also an ideal place to have a family holiday, where you can spend lovely
moments with fun and enjoyment in the beautiful pure white beaches.

V. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are true (T), or false (F):
Mass tourism
Tourism can bring many economic and social benefits, but mass tourism is also
associated with negative effects on environment. Some of the main problems are
depletion of natural resources, and pollution.
First, tourism puts pressure on natural resources. As a major cause of the loss of
natural habitat, tourism directly affects rare and endangered species. An illustration is
that over 500 plant species in the Mediterranean are on the verge of extinction. Lack of
water is another problem because during travel seasons, a huge amount of water is
used for tourist activities like swimming pools, golf courses, and accommodations. This
leads to periodic water shortages which already exist in many regions and are likely to
spread and increase.
Another concern is pollution. Waste disposal is a serious problem in areas with
high concentrations of tourist activities. The production of wastewater and solid waste
in tourist areas can negatively affect air and water quality. In addition, exhaustion from
traffic vehicles such as buses, trains and especially airplanes is a major source of air
pollution.
