You can reduce your chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 by taking some simple
precautions:

with soap and water. Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based
hand rub kills viruses that may be in your hands.
2. Maintain at least 1 meter distance between yourself and others. When someone coughs,
sneezes, or speaks they spray small liquid via droplets from their nose or mouth which
may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe by the droplets, including the
COVID-19 virus if the person has the disease.

likely to come over close contact with someone that has COVID-19 and it is more
difficult to maintain physical distance of 1 meter.

viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth.

Instructions: Write a short paragraph advocating environmental awareness that would
convince people to stop throwing their garbage along our waterways and oceans to help stop
pollution and save the environment.
We all know that we are going to eat, we all know that without food we can’t live. All of us
needs food that’s why we need some plastics, cellophanes, and other stuff so that we can put
our foods on it. But why do we need to throw it anywhere? Does throwing our garbage
everywhere can make us happy? Or it can lead us to the dirty community? It’s easy to find a
way to clean the country but it’s not easy to find some humans to clean it. I don’t know but
most of the humans now are not going to move without money. In order to solve this
problem, we don’t need other people to clean our garbage, we just need the respect in
ourselves so that we don’t need to throw our garbage anywhere.

Instructions: Below are sentences on deforestation and global warming. Choose from the box
the appropriate modal for each sentence. Write it on the blanks provided.
1. Deforestation Rainforests could help control global warming because they absorb carbon
dioxide.
2. In recent years, large areas would have been destroyed, as the trees were cut down for
wood or should have been burned to clear the land for farming.
3. The burning can release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
4. Many rainforests grow on poor soils, and when they are cut down or burned, the soil
could be washed away in the tropical rains, so that the area may turn to desert.
5. Many plant and animal species that live there must become extinct.
6. Global Warming Scientists should say the temperature of the earth must rise by 3ºC over
the next 50 years.
7. This could cause drought in some parts of the world, and floods in others, as ice at the
North and South poles may begin to melt and sea levels rise.
8. Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect. Normally, heat from the sun could
warm the earth and then must escape back into space.
9. Carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere could trap the sun’s heat, and this is
should slowly makes the earth warmer. The Ozone Layer is a layer of gas high above the
surface of the earth that helps to protect it from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which can
damage our skins and could cause cancer.
10. Scientists have recently discovered holes in the Ozone Layer, This may be caused
substances called CFCs (clorofluorocarbons).

Instructions: Read and analyze the text carefully. Fill in the blanks by writing the correct modal.
Choose your modal from the box.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has made the assessment that COVID-19 (coronavirus)
could be characterized as a pandemic and the virus has now spread to many countries and
territories. While COVID-19 continues to spread, it is important that communities should take
action to prevent further transmission, this action must reduce the impacts of the outbreak and
support control measures.
The protection of children and educational facilities is particularly important. Precautions are
necessary to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19 in school settings. However, care can
also be taken to avoid stigmatizing students and staff who would have been exposed to the
virus. COVID-19 does not differentiate among borders, ethnicities, disability status, age or
gender. Education settings should continue to be welcoming, respectful, inclusive and
supportive environments to all. Measures would be taken by schools may prevent the entry and
spread of COVID-19 by students and staff who may have been exposed to the virus, while
minimizing disruption and protecting students and staff from discrimination.
Providing clear and actionable guidance for safe operations through the prevention could help
give early detection and control of COVID-19 in schools and other educational facilities.
Education may encourage students to become advocates for disease prevention and control at
home, in school and they could share it in their community. They could talk to others about
how they can prevent the spread of viruses. Maintaining safe school operations or reopening
schools after a closure should require many considerations but, if done well, can promote public
health.
