If we read newspapers, we’ll learn that the forests on the earth are getting smaller       . We are cutting down large numbers of trees        we need wood and farmland.

their homes. In many places the new farmland will soon look        the old desert. Crops will not grow there. There won’t be enough       , and the weather will get hot and dry.
