Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet We crept nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very frightened

We heard the tiger a second before we saw it It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat It grabbed Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch That night it was impossible to sleep!

VIII Read the passage carefully and answer the questions below.

The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak In modern contexts, It refers to reading and writing at a level adequate for communication, or at level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so as to take part in that society The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: " Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."

Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education In Kerala, India, for example, female and child mortality rates declined dramatically in the 1960s, when the girls who were educated in the educational reforms after 1948 began to raise families Recent researchers, however, argue that correlations such as the one listed above may have more to with the effects of schooling rather than literacy in general Regardless, the focuses of educational systems worldwide include a basic concept around communication through text and print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy

Asian, Arab and Sub-Sahara African countries are regions with the lowest literacy rates at about 10% to 12% East Asia and Latin America have illiteracy rates in the 10 to 15% region while developed countries have illiteracy rates of a few percent Within ethnically homogeneous regions, literacy rates can vary widely from region to region This often coincides with the region's wealth or urbanization, though many factors play a role

(26)

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS

I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N’Djamena Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected But after a few days I soon got used to living there The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was

One of my jobs was to supply the village with water The well was a long walk away And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards So I contacted the organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time It wasn’t perfect – there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before And not only did we have running water, but in the evening it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity

Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable When a resource is used, it takes some times to replace it If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an unlimited supply

However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere If the atmosphere is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the correct amounts of these gases

Many resources are limited and non- renewable, and many are in danger of pollution As a consequence, resources must be conserved and the environment protected Conservation must become an important part of everyone’s life
