Read the text and answer the questions (22-25) according to it. Ice cream has been available for thousands of years. It was nothing like modern ice cream in its very early history.

With the help of new technologies such as electricity, the freezer and the fridge, ice cream became much easier to make. In 1904, an ice cream salesman at the World’s Fairused a waffle to hold ice cream from running out. Thus, the ice cream waffle was invented. Then after a year, new ice cream products like the sundae and ice cream soda were invented. Today people know a lot of ice cream flavours. 22.

State your opinion with your own words on one of the three topics below. What inventions changed our life Air and water pollution Endangered animals and plants Task 3. Read the text below and answer to the given questions. The poisoning of the world's land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilization. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes and floods, but it is potentially one of history's greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable. Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas. Every ten minutes one kind of animal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become extinct twenty years from now People are beginning to realize that environmental problems are not somebody else's. They join and support various international organization and green parties. If governments wake up to what is happening - perhaps we'll be able to avoid the disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it. What dangers are being expected that make our planet will become uninhabitable? Which seas are considered as in danger of extinct? What kind of solutions are being organized in order to avoid the disaster? Download 18.32 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
