1. Rewrite the following text. Use the words from the box to replace the ones in bold.
Last summer, my family and I went on a trip to a remote camping site up in the mountains. We saw a lot of wildlife that were specific to the area. The weather was nice and cold. The place where we set up our tent was high up and next to a lake. In the early morning, the plants had been frozen and we had to wear warm clothes. My father told us old stories about the nomadic who passed through these areas. These people worried that magma would flow out of the volcano and kill everything. But instead, there was a huge flood many years ago that killed a lot of people. There were also miners who would look for diamonds in some of the caves in the mountain. Most people who lived up in the mountains benefited from nature. They made pottery using the mud that they got from the land.

Answer: If people saved electricity, we would see an improvement in global warming. If people drove their cars more often, there would be less pollution. If there was less pollution, fewer animal species would go extinct faster. If the facts about global warming were more widely known, we would do more to slow the process down.
