Chronological innovations in jazz music PASSAGE 2 Since the world has become industialised, there has been an increase in the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction. Bengal tigers, for example, which once roared the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 and by the year 2025, their population is estimated to be down to zero. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is part of what is causing the problem of extinction. Animals like the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are a valuable part of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival, and the survival of our planet. Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in order to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They, then charge admission to help defray the cost of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organisations for support. With the money they get, they can invest equipments and patrols to protect the animals. Another solution that is an attempt to stem the tide of animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This seems fairly effective, but will not by itself, prevent animals from being hunted and killed. 51. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The Bengal tiger B. International boycotts C.

ERROR IDENTIFICATION There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. I dentify the mistakes and correct them. People commonly complain that they never have time enough to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem slipping away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about how to do first. They get tied down of trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the important ones. One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lits of tasks being accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and checked regularly through the day to assess progress. Not only this is an effective way to manage time, but also it serves giving individuals a much-deserved sense of satisfaction over their achievments. People not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute with serious problems in mental and physical health. Answers: 1. time enough → enough time 6. checked regularly → are checked regularly 2. seem slipping away →seem to slip away 7. Not only this is → not only is this 3. how to do → what to do 8. it serves giving → it serves to give 4. of trivial →by trivial 9.
