III- L’EPREUVE
Contexte :
La déforestation est un fléau qui endommage dangereusement l’environnement et met en péril la survie de
rri
l’humanité.

1- The Amazon forest covers five million square Kilometers, an area as big as the whole Europe excluding
Russia. It is almost the world’s largest forest. It contains one third of the world’s trees.
se

2- However, the trees are disappearing. By 1974, a quarter of the forest had already been cut down. In the
following year, 1975, four per cent of the remaining trees went. If the destruction of the forest continues at the
same rate, there will be nothing left in a few years.
e

3- The cutting of trees in the Amazon forest is dangerously affecting the whole environment. Scientists say
uv

that the disappearance of trees in the Amazon forest is already causing changes in the climate. In Peru, for example,
there is less snow than before on the high peaks of the Andes Mountains. In Bolivia, there is very little rain.
re

4- What will happen if more of the Amazon forest is cut down? The consequences will be really dramatic.
According to climatologists, if the Amazon forest disappears, there will be less oxygen and it will be difficult for us
ep

to breathe; the temperature will raise and the ice-caps at the North and South poles will melt. Even the sea level
will rise. Therefore, seaside cities will be flooded.
5- Scientists do not agree about the calculation which can be done in different ways with different results. But
all the scientists agree that if we destroy the Amazon forest, it will be an environmental suicide. Life on Earth will
become difficult, and it may become impossible.
