An interesting fact about the Great Wall is that it was built not by the Chinese government but by the ordinary people. Over 2,000 years ago, the
Great Wall was built to protect the Chinese empire from invasions by nomadic tribes. It was a huge project that involved thousands of workers.

Passage 2
Global warming is a serious problem that affects the whole world. It is caused by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun and make the Earth's temperature rise.
One of the main causes of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. These fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases into the air. Another cause is deforestation, which means cutting down trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, so when they are cut down, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases.
Global warming has many negative effects on the environment and human life. It causes extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. It also leads to the melting of polar ice caps, which causes sea levels to rise. This can lead to the displacement of people and animals.
To fight global warming, we need to take action. We can reduce our carbon footprint by using less energy, recycling more, and using public transportation. We can also plant more trees and support renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power.
Questions:
1. What is the main cause of global warming?
2. What are some of the negative effects of global warming?
3. What can we do to fight global warming?
