Read the following passage about endangered species and mark the letter A, B, C or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following question.
There are thousands of animal species on our planet, each uniquely adapted to its
environment. However, in the past century, human activities have caused many animals to
become endangered. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature
(IUCN), around 40% of all animal species are now at risk of extinction.
One example is the Sumatran Gorilla, which lives in the rainforests of Indonesia.
Deforestation has destroyed much of their habitat, leaving them fewer places to live.
Moreover, illegal poaching has further reduced their population. These factors have caused
the number of Sumatran gorillas to decrease by 80% over the past 75 years.
Another case is the polar bear, whose survival depends heavily on the existence of sea
ice. Due to global warming, the Arctic ice is melting, making it harder for polar bears to find
food and build dens for their young. As a result, their population is also in decline.

your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

many traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages.
Being an au pair is an excellent way to not only go to different countries, but to live in
different places around the world and really get a feel for the culture. Au pairs live with the
families they are placed with and take care of children. Many parents include au pairs in
family events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture while on
the job. However, many of the activities are centered around the children, so they may not
get to experience many things that interest adults.
For people who want a bit more freedom working abroad, being an English teacher
maybe a good choice. There are English teaching jobs in almost countries in the world.
People teaching English in other countries often have a chance to travel on the weekends
