switch to renewable energy

two reasons:

clean sources, substitutes for fossil fuels

projected world population

increasing global energy demand

rapid depletion of the world's fossil fuel reserves upsurge of fuel and electricity prices

Many countries are already switching to renewable energy. Apart from looking for clean energy sources from the environmental point of view, the search for new energy sources as substitutes for fossil fuels is another reason providing such drive. With a projected world population of 10 billion by the year 2050, the increasing global energy demand will propel a more rapid depletion of the world’s fossil fuel reserves. Such possible tightening of energy supplies in the future will inevitably result in an upsurge of fuel and electricity prices. Renewable energy can reduce the reliance on exhaustible sources of fossil fuels. Utilising renewable energy to generate electricity is probably the way out to a future world.

Paraphrase

There are two reasons for using renewable energy. First, renewable energy sources are seen as environmentally friendly. Second, when the world population grows, the surging demand for fossil fuels will mean global supplies of fossil fuels will be more quickly used up and this will lead to higher prices. The use of alternative energy sources can lessen the reliance on the fossil fuels. Using renewable energy sources will make the world sustainable.

Unit 4, Activity 7 Part 2 Q1 (P. 53)

Key ideas:

There is plenty of water on the earth. In fact, there is enough water on this planet for everyone to have a huge lake. The trouble is that the water isn’t always found in the place where it is needed. In addition, much of the water is polluted or salty. Because of these problems, there are many people without sufficient water.

Unit 4, Activity 7 Part 2 (P. 49)

The water on the planet is sufficient for everyone to have a huge lake. However, many people do not have the water they need because much of the water is either undrinkable or unreachable.
