 One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being 
mentioned in the news, many people don’t know very much about these areas or understand why they 
are so important. The name “rainforest” actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are - 
tall forests that receive high amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 
centimetres of precipitation. There are two types of rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate 
rainforests. Tropical rainforests are more plentiful and are located in warmer climates, while temperate 
rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit milder. In terms of location, rainforests can

be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Although they only cover 6 percent of 
the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth’s animal and plant species can be ... 
lands for farming or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If 
deforestation continues at this rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become 
extinct in the next 50 years. As it stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 
90 percent of its rainforests destroyed, while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 
percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result, many charities have sprung up with the goal of 
purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their help, hopefully we can stop the 
destruction of one of the planet’s most vital assets.

Câu 13: The word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to _...Fridays off- these are just 
some things I like about college. 
 Living at college, first of all, gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My 
parents are not around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” or “Did you finish your 
homework?” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that gives me the responsibility of handling 
my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I 
could open an account. Before that I looked in the phone book since I had no clue about any banks 
around here or where they were located. Someone told me to go to a bank named Continental Federal 
Savings. And I had to make my own decision - whether to have a checking or saving account and 
whether or not to get a card. I’m on my own to make my own decisions. 
 I also love to have Fridays off. I wouldn’t be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. I 
love to sleep in. One Thursday night, my roommates and I went to Georgetown. We got in rather early 
the next morning, and my roommates and I decided to sleep in, something I couldn’t do in high 
school. 
 I do like things about college - being on my own and having Fridays off, but this doesn’t mean I 
don’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a 
pretty good place, too.
