1- Read the text and check if your predictions were right.

1-This year our school, Edinburgh Castle School, is taking part in the program “Let’s save Nature”. This
program tries to help both animals and plants in our countryside, beaches and mountains.

2-Animals and plants are disappearing because we are not taking care of them. We are throwing our
rubbish in the sea, on the streets and in the country. The animals are getting trapped in the plastic bags,
or getting ill because they eat plastic wrappers. Plants are dying because we are throwing chemicals and
rubbish in the forests. Forest fires are also killing thousands of animals and plants.

3-Our school is now helping. We are collecting rubbish from the beaches in our city and telling people not
to throw anything on them. We are also collecting used batteries and other dangerous materials. And
you? What are you doing to help animals and plants? Are you littering the beaches and the country or
are you putting your rubbish in the correct place? Please, help animals, don’t litter.
