Anahtar fikirler

• 'Endangered' describes a species whose population has become so small that it may disappear unless people protect it.
• 'Extinct' is the final stage: a species is extinct when no living member of it remains anywhere in the world.
• Habitat loss is one of the biggest dangers for wildlife, because a species cannot live outside the place that gives it food, water and shelter.
• Poaching is illegal hunting. It harms not only the animals that are killed but also the whole food chain around them.
• Plastic waste in the sea is swallowed by turtles and other animals, and it blocks their digestive system.
• Every person can help: recycling, saving water and energy, and refusing wild animal products all make a real difference.

Konunun özeti

The main dangers are habitat loss, pollution, poaching and climate change. Because every species depends on its habitat for food, water and shelter, protecting whole areas protects many species at once. Students help every day by recycling, saving water and joining clean-up campaigns.

Sık yapılan hatalar

• Using 'to' after should. Many students write 'We should to protect the turtles'; the correct form has no 'to', because should is followed by the base form of the verb.
• Confusing endangered and extinct. An endangered species is still alive, whereas an extinct species has died out completely, so the two words must never be used for the same animal.
• Using a past time with the present perfect. You cannot say 'I have seen it last week'; with a finished time such as last week you must use the past simple.
