Подготовка к IELTSIELTS урок 6 от RBSMLesson: IELTS test Practice: Reading of the text about Global warming. Composition according to the plan.
Dictation to be dictated in Russian: There have always been rumors among all nations about the ways our world was created. Naturally every person wonders how life emerged on Earth. According to the religious point of view, the world was created by the God. The God was the creator of our universe and it took him seven days to accomplish the task. Another view on this aspect is scientific. Obviously, there have been lots of different suggestions, one of which is the theory of the Big Bang. As the result of the matter collapse, the enormous amount of energy was released. Then the gas and dust clouds formed first celestial bodies and afterwards galaxies and constellations emerged. Apart from religious and scientific efforts there is an esoteric opinion. One of the most striking is the legend from the primitive tribe Dogon. This tribe supports the idea of divine world creation. They presume that their ancestors were aliens from the star Sirius B. Whatever the case, the question concerning the substantiation of our universe existence, is still open.

Text Perfectly at home in one of the world's most forbidding environments, polar bears spend their summers roaming the Over the past three decades, more than a million square miles of sea ice -- an area the size of In May 2006, the threat of global warming to polar bears prompted the World Conservation Union, one of the world's leading environmental bodies, to add the bears to its "Red List" of threatened wildlife. Classified as "vulnerable," which is defined as a species facing a "high risk of extinction in the wild," the worldwide population of roughly 20,000 polar bears could decline more than 30 percent over the next 45 years. Already, the ice on the southern edge of the polar bear's range is melting about three weeks earlier than in the past. The loss of those critical weeks leaves the bears less time to hunt, eat and store up fat. As a result of early melting, there has been a 14 percent decline in the western In addition, a growing number of polar bears may be drowning as they are forced to swim more often, and for longer distances, in search of ice sheets. Researchers observed four dead polar bears floating 60 miles off Alaska in September 2004 and said it was likely that many other bears swimming far offshore also drowned. Bears are dependent on sea ice because they use it to hunt for seals, which periodically pop up through breathing holes in the ice. Because the ice has broken up earlier and earlier in the year over the past few decades, polar bears are deprived of crucial hunting opportunities. The uncertain fate of the world's largest non-aquatic carnivores -- as well as the future of other animals and humans who live in the The report offered a broad picture of the evidence that climate change has disproportionately affected far northern latitudes. The researchers concluded that some areas in the In The sea ice in Hudson Bay, Canada, now breaks up 2 1/2 weeks earlier than it did 30 years ago, and as a result female polar bears there weigh 55 pounds less than they did then. Assuming the current rate of ice shrinkage and accompanying weight loss in the Hudson Bay region, bears there could become so thin by 2012 they may no longer be able to reproduce. Once the population stops reproducing, that's pretty much the end of it. Arctic residents have already detected changes in polar bears' behavior: within the past two years a polar bear "stock up on caribou" because it was deprived of seals. Polar bears are not the only Arctic animals in trouble. The ringed seals that bears eat, and that humans hunt, are also dependent on the sea ice to rest, give birth, nurse and feed.
