The Materials are • Reading Comprehension Continuous Text: Nature: Forest • Quantifiers • Language Function Expressing Certainty/Uncertainty Expressing Offering
F O R E S T A forest is an area that is full of trees. We can find it in the islands of Indonesia. They spread along the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Irian and other islands in Indonesia. They are very important for our lives.
Forests give us many kinds of export commodities such as timber, rattans, as well as rubber. Forests also protect us from danger of floods. In the rainy season the roots of the trees in the forest absorb the rain water and store it under the ground.
In the dry season the water will come out and it is very useful for us for reservoir and irrigation. If there are no forests, the rain water cannot be stored, there will be erosion of the soil and we will suffer from terrible floods .
Forests also help us to purify the air of pollution. The trees of the forests need carbon dioxide from the air and send the oxygen out into the air, which make the air fresh and pure. The fresh and pure air is needed for our health.
