answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
The relationship between humans and the Earth is very important. We depend on the Earth for many
things. First, we need clean air to breathe. Trees and plants help keep the air clean by taking in carbon
dioxide and giving out oxygen. Second, we need clean water to drink. Rivers, lakes, and oceans provide us
with water, so we must keep them clean.
The Earth also gives us food. We grow vegetables, fruits, and grains in the soil. Farmers work hard
to produce the food we eat. We must take care of the soil so it stays healthy and can keep giving us food.
We also get materials from the Earth to build houses, make clothes, and create tools. We use wood,
metal, and stone from the Earth to make the things we need. It is important to use these resources wisely and
not waste them.
Humans can harm the Earth by polluting the air, water, and soil. This pollution can make it hard for
plants, animals, and people to live. Therefore, we must be careful to protect the environment. Recycling,
saving energy, and not wasting water are some ways we can help.
 In conclusion, humans and the Earth are connected. By taking care of the Earth, we take care of
ourselves. It is our home, and we need to protect it for future generations.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that we
produce through our activities. Every day, we do things that add to our carbon footprint, like driving cars,
using electricity, and throwing away trash. These activities release CO2 into the air, which is bad for the
environment. CO2 and other gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming and climate
change.
However, we can still practice those to limit our carbon footprint. One way is by using less
electricity. We can turn off lights when we leave a room and unplug devices when we are not using them.
Using energy-efficient light bulbs and appliances also helps. Another way to reduce our carbon footprint is
by driving less. Walking, biking, or taking public transportation can save a lot of CO2. Carpooling with
friends is another good idea.
Recycling is also important. When we recycle, we use materials again instead of making new ones.
This saves energy and reduces the amount of CO2 released. We can also reduce our carbon footprint by
eating less meat. Meat production uses a lot of energy and water. Eating more vegetables and fruits is better
for the environment. Also, planting trees is a great way to help. Trees take in CO2 and give out oxygen. By
planting more trees, we can reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.
