LISTENING SKILLS PASSAGE.

Trees play an important role in preserving and protecting our environment on Earth. They release oxygen
into the air and absorb carbon dioxide. They also play an important part in the water cycle as they release
moisture into the atmosphere through their leaves. This helps in the formation of clouds which bring rain.
Loss of trees can cause drought. In addition to that, when there is a lot of rains, trees can soak up much of
the extra water and so they help to prevent floods.

Trees prevent soil erosion as they work like nets trapping soil and stopping it from being washed away.
Furthermore, fallen trees, branches and leaves decay on the ground, making the soil more fertile. Tropical
rain forests which occupy less than 8% of earth’s land are home to well over 50% of all land plants and
animals.
