3a. Read and match the texts with headings. 
A Can’t animals just run away from a fire?
B Were the Australia fires caused by climate change?
C What about the future? 
D How big were the Australia fires 2020?
E How do the Australia fires usually start? 
F How many animals have died in the fires? 
1) Bushfires have always been a part of Australia’s ecology and environment for 
thousands of years. Fires are usually caused by a thunderstorm. But some fires are started 
by people. The worst fires are caused by a long period when there is no rain and there are 
heat waves. The bushfires of 2019-2020 were a lot worse than normal. At least 26 people 
died. 
2) More than 63,000 sq km in Victoria state, the Blue Mountains, the regions in Southern 
and Western Australia were on fire. This territory is as big as 6.3 million sports fields. An 
environmental scientist of the WWW Australia, Stuart Blanch, said that the fires had 
reached Victoria’s Alpine National Park and New South Wales’s Kosciuszko National 
Park – home to very rare animals.
3) Scientists have long talked that the climate is changing. Hotter and drier weather makes 
the risk of fires. In September 2019, the weather in Australia was too hot and dry. In 
January, the Australia’s driest summer month, rainfall was 40% lower than average. It 
was caused by rising levels of CO2 on the planet. Australia had a new temperature record: 
an average maximum of 41.9C was recorded on 18 December 2019.
4) More than 1,250,000,000 animals have died in Australia’s wildfires. This includes 
thousands of koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos and honeyeaters 
which were burnt alive. But the fires don’t only kill animals; they also ruined their habitat, 
leaving the animals without food and home. We can have no such rare animals as the 
corroboree frog, the mountain pygmy-possum, the black cockatoo and koalas in the 
future. Experts say that more than 100,000 cows and sheep were lost for farmers.

---

5) “Certainly, large animals, like kangaroos, emus, many birds, can move away from the 
fire,” Prof Chris Dickman, an expert on Australian wildlife, said. But he added that 
“Sometimes the fire is coming from different directions. In this case there is no way for 
any animals to leave away.” “And there are the smaller animals that cannot run. Koalas 
are a good example. Approximately 8,000 of them have died from the fires,” ecologists 
say. “That’s almost one-third of all koalas in Australia, which forms their main habitat.” 
6) The president of the Australian Academy of Science, Prof John Shine, said, “Australia 
must take stronger action as part of the world community to limit global warming to 
reduce the worst problems of climate change in the future.”

5. Read and choose the best summary. 
In a very good restaurant we have a dinner that is specially cooked for 
us; in a canteen we are served with standard portions of standard meal. And this is the 
difference between the living theatre and the mass entertainment of films, radio and 
television. In the theatre the play is specially cooked for us. It (the theatre) is the ancient 
but ever-youthful parent of all entertainment in dramatic form. It is a magical place where 
man meets his image. 
1) The ancient art of theatre can help people understand the world and themselves better. 
2) Theatre often offers us something special, which other forms of enter tainment do not 
do because they produce things for a mass audience. 
3) Theatre has given birth to other kinds of entertainment. But theatre is special because 
in a play we see real people, we feel close to them and recognise our own problems, joys 
and sorrows. 
The best summary is ___
