Activity 1

To write lists with headings [lo 4.1.2]

Water is such an important element that all life would come to an end if there were no water on earth. If we did not have water to drink, our bodies would become dehydrated and we would die. All life forms on earth are dependent on water. That is why we must take great care in preserving our sources of water. We must never pollute the sea, rivers, streams or dams. Pollution is one of the greatest dangers to our life on earth.

Frogs are cold-blooded creatures, just like reptiles. Reptiles are also very interesting animals. Some of them look rather creepy and some people don’t like them at all, but we must remember that every single creature on earth has the right to life. It is part of the greater life cycle of nature.
