40.1 Imagine that you are doing a project on the countries with the most tree species. You have collected some data on the subject (see the table below).
Comment on the data in the table and give your personal opinion on the subject of the project.
| Country | Number of tree species |
|---|---|
| Brazil | 9223 |
| Columbia | 6021 |
| Indonesia | 5623 |
| Malaysia | 5458 |
| Venezuela | 4879 |
| China | 4680 |
Write 200−250 words. Use the following plan:
— make an opening statement on the subject of the project work;
— select and report 2−3 main features;
— make 1−2 comparisons where relevant;
— outline a problem that can arise with the variety of tree species and suggest the way of solving it;
— draw a conclusion giving your personal opinion on the importance of trees in the modern world
40.2 Imagine that you are doing a project on wildfires in the United States. You have collected some data on the
subject (see the diagram below).
Comment on the data in the diagram and give your personal opinion on the subject of the project.

40.1. Trees are a vital aspect of human kind because they produce the air we breathe and give life to the wildlife on this planet. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the countries with the most tree species. I have found some data on this issue and organized it in the table below.
I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the table below. The first one is that Brazil has the highest number of tree species in the world with 9223 tree species. The second one is that China has the lowest number of tree species with only 4680 species.
It is also worth mentioning that Columbia has the second highest number of tree species, while Venezuela is the country with the second least number of tree species..
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem.There are too many species of trees concentrated in one territory, which can place it in a vulnerable position if a wildfire would occur in that territory. I think that in order to solve this problem the Brazilian government should keep a constant watch of the territories where their species of trees are located.
In conclusion, I believe that the preservation of the different tree species in Brazil helps the entire world overall, maintaining the biggest source of oxygen on the planet in healthy conditions.

40.2. Wildfires are a great threat to both nature and humanity, as they destroy every forest and town standing in their way, making them a deadly occurrence. My project, which I am still working on, is aimed at finding out the area that was burned in wildfires in recent years in the USA.
I can identify two main features of the statistics presented in the chart. The first one is that the highest amount of land was burned in 2020, at more than 10 million acres. The second one is that the smallest area was affected in 2019.
It is also worth mentioning that only slightly less land was burned in 2017 than in 2020.
In my opinion, the statistics in the table reveal an important problem. A huge number of forests are affected by wildfires every year and the numbers for the recent years are the highest yet. To solve this problem, government agencies should aim to stop preventable wildfires from occurring, such as wildfires that result from irresponsible bonfire extinguishing in forests.
In conclusion, I believe that fighting wildfires is an important task that people should focus on to save both the natural reserves of the world and the lives of many who may die from a wildfire.
