Melting of sea ice in the Arctic has reduced the population size of polar bears and threatens the species with extinction.

Scientists say that the earlier annual break-up of sea ice caused by climate change is cutting short the hunting season for the bears, which depend on floating banks of ice to reach their prey.

Lack of sea ice in spring and summer is forcing the hungry polar bears to spend longer on land. This gives a false impression that their numbers are increasing as they encroach on human settlements to search for food.

Female polar bears depend on the spring hunting season in order to build the fat reserves needed to see them through the summer months. But the ice is disappearing, which means that the bears have not had time to build up normal levels of fat.

Since female bears become thinner, they are easily affected by disease. Their ability to reproduce and the survival chances of their cubs decline significantly.

The sea ice provides polar bears with a hunting ground, from which the bears can reach their prey – wild seals and other marine mammals.

Scientists are worried that if the sea ice season continues to get shorter, polar bears will not be able :: spend enough time on the ice to hunt and feed themselves.

1.    According to scientists, polar ice is melting because of………………..

2.    Polar bears are getting closer to where people live in order to ………………. .

3.    When female bears cannot build up fat reserves, they are ……………… .

4.    Polar bears need  …………….to catch seals and other marine mammals for food.

5.    If the sea ice season ……………. polar bears will not have enough time for hunting and feeding themselves.

1. climate change

2. search for food

3. easily affected by disease

4. a hunting ground

5. continues to get shorter

Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. It is located on the Niagara River along the border between two countries: the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls actually consists of three falls. The American Falls lie on the United States side of the border, in the state of New York. The Horseshoe Falls lie mainly on the Canadian side. The Bridal Veil Falls, which are the smallest, are also on the American side. It is estimated that 85% of the water in Niagara River flows over the Horseshoes Falls, which are the most impressive of the three waterfalls.

Each year about 10 million people visit the falls, mainly in the summer tourist season. Visitors can take a boat ride right up to the edge of the falls or view them from the parks on both sides of the river. There are many other attractions for visitors; they can enjoy the wildflowers and trees in the beautiful Botanical Gardens, visit the Niagara Falls Farmers Market or History Museum, or explore the lakes or hiking trails in the area.

Dear Ms Wilson,

I am writing to ask for more information about the bachelor of computer science programme at Riverside Institute of Education.

I  am going to complete upper-secondary school this year and I plan to pursue higher education in the USA. I think a first degree from an American university will improve my future job prospects. After graduation, I would like to get a job related to computer science and develop my career in this field. Actually, maths, IT, and English are my best subjects at school. Your institute offers the best curriculum of computer science, and it is my first choice. Before I submit my application, I would like to ask you a few questions.

First, what are the entry requirements for international students? Are there any entrance examinations that I have to take? And what kind of enrolment form do I have to complete?

Second, what types of accommodation are available for international students at your institute? Could you also advise on the living costs?

Finally, I would like to know more about the tuition fees. How much do I have to pay for my studies per semester or year?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,
