the third mass extinctin, killed 90% t 96% f all species; the fifth event, which ccurred 66 millin years ag, caused the death f the dinsaurs
Read the text and decide whether these statements are true (T) f false (F). 1. Mre than 98% f all species that ever lived n the earth are extinct. 2. Dinsaurs were wiped ut because f the decrease f the xygen cntent in the “Great Dying”. 3. In 1980, there were nly 250 black rbins left in the wrld. 4. It is nt t late fr us t take actin t d smething t prtect ur planet.
Read again. Answer the questins.
1. What did scientists find ut in 2015?2. Why des the writer think the sixth mass extinctin will cme?
The study fund that hw quickly species die ut due t natural causes, that is, the “backgrund extinctin rate”. They fund that human activity is causing species t die ut 1,000 times faster than nrmal.
Because human activity has negatively affected all ther species n Earth, including animals and plants.
3. Why des the writer believe we'll prbably die ut if 75% f the Earth's species die ut?4. What did peple d in the case study t prtect black rbins? Which claim(s) did the case study supprt in the text?
Because ur wrld and ur lives depended n the balance in nature between animals and plants.
Peple prtected Old Blue’s eggs, helped them t hatch, and tk care f the chicks. Peple are restring their habitats and remving pests like mice and cats frm the islands where they live. The case study shwed that even in desperate situatins, we can d smething t help. In shrt, it’s never t late.

Opinins/predictins: many scientists say we are nw entering the Earth's sixth mass extinctin; scientists believe that up t three quarters f all species n Earth culd die ut.Slutins: we need t take steps t save endangered species, including setting up special areas where plants and animals can be prtected; we need t change hw we wrk and travel...; we als need t imprve ur farming methds.
