Global Warming

Global warming refers to the increase of the earth's average temperature due to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.

Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal causes greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide to escape into the air and act like a warm blanket over the earth.

There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are moving to new homes because their natural habitat is disappearing.

If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that become extinct. Heat waves and droughts will increase, leading to wildfires, and some areas may become too dry for farming.

Warmer ocean temperatures lead to more big storms which damage homes and cause floods. Sea levels may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts.

All humans contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels when they drive a car, fly in an airplane, heat or cool their houses and cut down trees to clear land.

One way to reduce greenhouse gases is to reduce deforestation, the cutting down of trees. Trees soak up carbon dioxide from the air, so having lots of trees around is good for the atmosphere. We can also plant more trees.

The best way to help slow down global warming is to put less carbon into the air by using less fossil fuel - something that is easy to say, but hard to do! But by driving less, turning down the heat and air conditioning, and using more solar, wind and hydroelectric power, we can all reduce greenhouse gases and help fight global warming.


1. Define global warming. 

2. ______________ _____________ contributes the most to greenhouse gas emissions. 


3. Name 2 examples of fossil fuels that are mentioned in the passage. 


4. Give 2 effects of global warming. 


5. Name one way how we all contribute negatively to global warming. 


6. Why is it important that we plant more trees?


7. Explain 2 things you can do to reduce the impact of global warming.

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

Tourism Tourism means people travelling to places outside of their usual home.  A tourist is anyone traveling for fun, business or visiting relatives. A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists.

For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica.  Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist. An international tourist is someone who travels across international borders. For example, travelling from Barbados to the United States.  Tourism is great because it creates many jobs for people who work in hotels.
