READING COMPREHENSION
The environment is an essential part of our lives. It includes the air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil
that grows our food, and all the animals and plants around us. Unfortunately, the environment is facing
serious problems like air pollution, plastic waste, deforestation, and climate change. These issues harm not
only nature but also people’s health and future. To protect the environment, we can take simple but effective
actions. For example, planting trees helps clean the air and provide homes for animals. Recycling plastic
and paper reduces waste and saves resources. We can also use less water, switch to reusable bags, and save
energy by turning off lights when not needed. If everyone works together and takes responsibility, the
environment will become healthier and cleaner. Protecting the Earth is not just a choice; it is something we
must do for ourselves and future generations.
