UNIT 10 LESSON 4 WRITING: A BLOG 1 Listen to and read the blog. What is a habitat? Check (√) the correct answer 1 a type of animal 2 a place near water 3 a place where an animal or plant lives Home Archive Contact Pages Q | □ | O' - Hello, I'm Arwa – welcome to my blog! I'm writing today about something which I think. is really important. I think we should all try to protect animal habitats. Animals need safe places to live, find food, and look after their babies. They are part of our planet, so we must make sure that the things we do don't hurt them. There are lots of different habitats in Egypt, such as the desert, sea, mountains, and rivers. It is good for everybody if we protect these habitats. For example, when a habitat is healthy, lots of animals can live in one place. With good eco-tourism, people can come on wildlife-watching holidays. This is good for the country, and good for the people, too. When people learn about wildlife, they want to protect it. We can all think about things we can do to protect habitats. For example, we mustn't waste water or drop litter. We can recycle paper, so people don't cut down trees. We can also plant flowers and plants, because these are great for birds and insects. You don't need a lot of space - here's a garden box I made for my window! 68 2 Read the blog again.
