A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in an area where there is combustible vegetation. Wildfires
usually occur in rural areas and forests (away from cities). These fires are also referred to as a
'wildland fire' or 'rural fire'
The most common causes of forest fires are natural and human causes. The human activities such
as agriculture machinery sparks, cigarette butts, factory farming, farming and land-conversion
burning (agricultural to commercial), and burning trash are the common causes of forest fires.
The natural causes are due to volcanic eruption, lightning, dry climates, extremely hot weather,
and wind.
The effects of forest fires are devastating.
Wildfires increase temperature of soil to more than
900°C which can strip almost all the organic value of the soil, stealing its ability to grow any plants
again. This will also negatively affect percolation and infiltration, making the soil surfaces
repellent (impervious) to water.
Wildfire can immediately damage infrastructure, wildlife, and vegetation. These can lead to huge
economic setbacks. Inhalation of wildfire smoke leads to various toxic health effects on humans.
This is because of the toxic air pollutants released by wildfires. Forest fires also cause loss of
habitat and destruction for millions of animals! Most of those will become endangered.

Technology is the most necessary evil of our times and one such necessity currently is that of
earphones/headphones. While taking early morning walk, crossing the street, boarding a metro,
traveling in a bus, sipping coffee in a café or iust a call in the office, throughout the day you will
encounter several people listening to music or talking through earphones. However, by letting
your earphones plugged in too much, you might not be disturbing the people around you, but
you certainly are harming yourself enough without taking note of it.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
estimated that around a billion young people.
across the globe could be at the risk of hearing loss because of the unsafe listening habits, they
practice through earphones.
The primary concern with the earphones is the volume exposure that they give the ears.
Earphones are capable of producing very loud levels of sound very close to the ear and hence are
very dangerous.
However, it must be noted that it is not always about the volume of the headphones but also the
long duration for which the earphones are used.
Earphones are exposed to germs also as they are exposed to too many places where they are
kept.
Sharing the earphones paves way for the transfer of these germs which further induces harmful
effects on ears.
The continuous and long-term exposure to loud music makes the hair cells in ears to eventually
lose their sensitivity to vibration. Sometimes the loud music also results in the cells bending or
folding over which leads to the sensation of temporary hearing loss. The hair cells may or may
not recover from these extreme vibrations. However, even when
they recover; they mostly cannot function normally which can cause permanent hearing loss and
is almost impossible to be recovered from.

Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of the existing human population
exceeds the actual carrying capacity of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by a number of factors.
Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, and lack of family planning are few of the causes
which result in overpopulation. Growing advances in technology with each coming year has
affected humanity in many ways. One of these has been the ability to save lives and create a
better medical treatment for all. A direct result of this has been the increased lifespan and the
growth of the population.
The effects of overpopulation are quite severe.
The first of these is the depletion of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of
water and food, which is falling short of the current needs.
Moreover, with the overuse of coal, oil, and natural gas, it has started producing some serious
effects
30
Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI Semester 2
on our environment. Besides, the exponential rise in the number of vehicles and industries has
badly affected the quality of air. When a country becomes overpopulated, it gives rise to
unemployment as there are fewer jobs to support a large number of people. The rise in
unemployment gives rise to
crime
Therefore, overpopulation should be avoided
There are incredible solutions to overpopulation.
One of the first measures is to implement policies reflecting social change. Educating the masses
helps them understand the need to have one or two children at the most. The government of
various countries might have to come up with various policies related to tax exemptions to curb
overpopulation. One of them might be to waive a certain part of income tax or lowering rates of
income tax for those married couples who have single or two children.
