READING

1

Read the article. Choose the best heading for each
section. There are TWO extra headings.

READING

A. ___________
As the oldest national
park in Viet Nam,
Cuc Phuong is a
natural habitat of
many rare animals
and plants in Asia. It is
estimated that over 2,000 plant
species and thousands of species of
animals live in the 22,000-hectare
ecosystem. The park also has the
largest variety of birds in northern
Viet Nam with more than 3,000 bird
species.

B. ___________
The rich ecosystem of
Cuc Phuong attracts
many nature lovers from
all over the world. The
park is very popular from
April to May, when
visitors have a chance to
see more than 400
species of colourful
butterflies in the forest.
That's why it has won the
award
of Asia's Leading
National Park

READING
C. ___________
Despite the government's effort to protect Cuc
Phuong, several problems have been reported. Small
parts of the park have been destroyed as people have
cut down old trees without permission. In addition,
rare animals were hunted illegally, some of which were
fortunately rescued and returned to the forest.
There are still irresponsible tourists who drop
litter on the trails, which pollutes the water
and soil. These actions can damage the
ecosystem of the park. Therefore, tougher
measures should be taken to protect the
biodiversity of the area.

SAMPLE
ANSWER
Title: Preserving Cuc Phuong ecosystem
To: Vietnam Wildlife Conservation Committee
Date: 25 February, 20__
Prepared by: Vu Hoang Ha

Introduction
Cuc Phuong is famous for its wonderfully rich
ecosystem. However, the National Park has been
threatened by human activities, such as illegal
hunting, logging, and littering. Therefore, we would
like to propose some ideas for protecting its
ecosystem.

Details
We would like to create an online photo album of the area
on the park website. The photos will show eco-friendly
activities, such as picking up litter, going on ecotours, or
planting trees, and activities that can harm the ecosystem
in Cuc Phuong, e.g. cutting down trees or littering in the
forest. Anyone interested, especially tourists to Cuc
Phuong, will be able to take photos and post them on the
website for everyone to see. This initiative will last for at
least one year.
Goals and benefits
Our goals are to raise awareness of the need to protect
Cuc Phuong ecosystem and to promote environmentally
friendly activities. The campaign will also help people
identify any activity which can damage the ecosystem and
report it when they see it.
Conclusion
We hope that you will consider our proposal. We believe
that this initiative will encourage more people to take action
against damaging the ecosystem of Cuc Phuong National
Park.
