Text 1
Read the text and choose the most appropriate answer from a, b or c.

A. All around the world, we hear stories of terrible weather becoming even worse. For instance,
while forests in Australia are on fire, fields in Egypt are covered in snow. Environmental
scientists explain that events such as these are due to climate change. They say that if we
cannot protect the environment from pollution, we will definitely destroy the Earth, and
everything and everyone that lives on it. Despite this, there are still many people who say that
scientists have been lying to us and there is no such thing as climate change. This essay will
look at both sides of the argument to see who is telling the truth.
B. First of all, it is necessary to remember that scientific opinion has changed many times since
the end of the Second World War. For example, in the 1950s, average temperatures in many
countries seemed to be rising. Some of the world's best scientists said that this proved that the
world was becoming hotter. However, in the early 1970s the world began to freeze. Many
countries had the worst winters they had ever known. As a result, scientists made new
predictions: the world was not becoming hotter, but much colder. After the freezing winters
of the 1970s, world temperatures began to rise again in the 1980s and 1990s. Scientists
changed their predictions again and decided that the world was now becoming too hot.
C. Some people have said that these examples prove that climate change does not exist. And it
is true that scientists have made mistakes. However, I don't believe this means that they are
wrong about climate change. Even with advanced technology, it is very difficult to make
predictions about the future of the weather. The environment is very complex. It consists of
billions of creatures and we should also remember that natural environments such as jungles,
deserts and mountains are also alive. Therefore, it is hard for environmental scientists to make
accurate predictions about the weather because all living things change all the time. So
although scientific predictions can sometimes be wrong, it does not mean that climate change
is not real.

 D. In conclusion, environmental scientists have not invented climate change. The have made
mistakes but the important point is not whether the world is becoming hotter or colder but that
the climate is becoming worse. We have an opportunity to prevent climate change and take
action.
