1. What an Amazing World We Live in

2. A Miserable Future

3. Sad Results of Human Activity

Look around you. What a wonderful world we live in! For millions of years our planet has given support to all forms of life — human beings, animals, birds, fish, insects and plants. Human beings appeared on the Earth only 6–7 million years ago. In the beginning they were as friendly to the planet as the other species. But now people are killing the planet. Already many species of animals and birds have disappeared. Millions of animals die every year because man has polluted their natural homes. Also, people don't stop cutting down trees, building more roads, and using more and more land for farming. As a result, there are fewer jungles, fields and forests for wildlife.

Looking for new sources of energy, people build power stations that pollute the air and the land. Most rivers, once clean and fresh, are now empty of fish. And in some rivers you can even see a thick foam caused by chemical waste.

Scientists warn that the forests are disappearing because of human activity. All over the world people cut trees down because they need wood and paper. Sometimes they do it to find new places for their farms and houses. It's an international disaster. Even if new trees are planted, it takes many years for them to grow.

Have you been to the beach recently? You can see a lot of litter on the beach. Some of it was left by people after picnics and some was brought by the water. Lots of litter and waste is thrown away from the ships into the sea.

Why don't people realize that pollution is very dangerous for them, for wildlife and the environment? People don't just pollute the environment. They pollute themselves with cigarettes, alcohol and junk food¹. They breathe in the air polluted by their cars and factories.

Can anyone predict what will happen if we don't start solving these serious environmental problems? We shouldn't wait any more.

Ответ:

The best title for this text is 3. Sad Results of Human Activity. I think this title is the most suitable because the text focuses on the negative consequences of what people do to the planet. It describes problems like pollution, deforestation, and the extinction of animals, which are all sad results of human activity.

Лучший заголовок для этого текста — 3. Печальные результаты человеческой деятельности. Я думаю, этот заголовок подходит лучше всего, потому что в тексте основное внимание уделяется негативным последствиям того, что люди делают с планетой. В нем описываются такие проблемы, как загрязнение окружающей среды, вырубка лесов и вымирание животных, и все это — печальные результаты человеческой деятельности.
